AIBU to think this woman should have posted on MN?

[NarkedRaspberry]

Here

Her 21 year old son had a tattoo on his shoulder. She didn't talk to him for 3 days.

I think of she put that on here should would have been burnt alive! That's a ridiculous article and MN can be a scary place

I read this and was at her reaction. So OTT. She has ishooooos!!

It would have been glorious though Nervous

It's quite frightening. I feel sorry for whoever ends up with her as a MIL.

There's already been a thread about this.
It was unaminously decided that she was a silly cow.

My mum cried and didn't speak to me when i did the following things:

Had my tongue pierced
Had my nose pierced
Mentioned i was thinking about having a boob job over text.

Im 23 she literally cried her eyes out, the text one was at work and she had to go home for the day, as she was so upset.

(I didn't just mention it then, I've been talking about it for years, i'd seen a good deal at a private hospital ending soon)

Mind got the arse and wouldn't speak to me for a couple of weeks after I went on TV in the nude. But then I got ill and she had to look after me, and promptly settled down as she reckoned I had been sufficiently punished for my badness...

I missed the thread. I did search tattoo but I forgot to put a time frame in and my laptop froze

Mine was surprisingly ok about piercings, including my tongue one. Mind you it's hard to stay mad at someone who can't say squirrel.

I nearly peed myself laughing at how ridiculous that woman was.

One of the funniest articles I've read for a long time.

I think This is nothing but snobbery, I think ? latent anxiety about the trappings of class. As if my son had deliberately turned his back on a light Victoria sponge and stuffed his face with cheap doughnuts. was by far and away the pinacle of its humour.

My mum likes my tatts, I did get up the duff at 17 mind after that a tatts nothing haha

She would have been told she is BU.

My son got a tattoo on his 40th birthday.He had wanted one since he was 16 but I hated the idea.He returned to it occasionally over the years but didn't do it.
He married when he was 26 and moved abroad. He continued to want a tattoo but life went by and we sometimes laughed about my vehemence especially when his younger sister returned from a gap year...tattooed :)
On his 40th birthday he told me to look at his fb page and there it was the tattoo in all its glory.A year later he got another.
He is a very respectable businessman and has a teenage dd who hates his tatts as does his dw and as do I but we all love him and tease him about his premature second childhood.
Its hard to see your pfb as all grown up.

Some kinder posters might have suggested she get counselling.

Wow. She's incredibly lucky her son didn't massively rebelled against her Bree Van De Kampness.

Christ Al-freaking-mighty.

Saying that, I told my mum I'd had my belly pierced whilst she was in the bath so she couldn't chase after me. And turned up at her work to tell her I was pregnant... If she wrote a journal it may well read like this

What a stupid ignorant cow

I agree with her. Don't care if any of you are offended. Why would you destroy what God created? Tattoo's don't enhance anyone; it's just a branding, like cattle.

Hardly, Hoops. Its artwork. And seeing as my body is screwed up anyway, it will be an improvement when I get my tattoo done

You know, I risk a flaming here but I actually felt sorry for the writer. I too hate tattoos and can understand the permanence issue and also the change in dynamic in her relationship with her son. I would be gutted if either of my DSs came home with tattoos, somehow it doesn't seem so bad that both my DSDs have them.

Might go and hide now.....

Was there not a thread earlier in the week on tattoo regret?

Each to their own I suppose, but I would be so disappointed if any of my children ever defaced themselves in such a way.

I think it's little to do with the tattoo and more about grieving the change in her relationship with her son - accepting that he's grown up and not her little boy anymore. She hugely overreacted I think, but I can kind of get what's at the core of it. Letting go is hard.

Really? There is far worse they could do. I'd be more disappointed in myself if my child felt he couldn't be himself because of my reaction.
