I really don't think there's any profit to this argument.

Stropzilla · 24/11/2012 14:31

But it DOES matter. I'm sorry but what others think of you is actually incredibly important when asking friendships and getting a job.

actually, I think you are teaching him that it is okay to swear and be aggressive towards anybody who might make comments on his looks.

Sparklingbrook · 24/11/2012 14:33

I have read none of the the thread. Have T Rex and Sharon had a mention yet?

TantrumsAndBalloons · 24/11/2012 14:34

By shouting at the woman who made the comment about his hair you are not teaching him it doesn't matter what people think.
you are getting offended and shouting about it.

So it does matter to you.

Teabag... You sound absolutely vile. I know people like you, whose DC don't stand a chance. They will turn out nasty, judgemental and offensive just like their parents. The best thing you can do for your DC us to make sure they learn when not to be awful and condescending. FWIW I have always found people who use the word 'chav' to be terribly déclassé Wink

SchroSawMummyRidingSantaClaus · 24/11/2012 14:34

Just because they don't mention it to you, doesn't mean they don't think it's a stupid idea or disagree with your decision.

And that's the wrong idea to teach him, it certainly does matter what people think of him if you want him to have a good future as an adolescent and adult.

Exactly Hobnobs. Shatteringly tedious read isn't it?

Sparklingbrook · 24/11/2012 14:36

Could I have a summary?

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 24/11/2012 14:36

Have wee been invaded again? It's been a little bizarre here this week?

D0oinMeCleanin · 24/11/2012 14:36

It shouldn't matter what people think of him but sadly it does but it will influence the way that people treat him and their expectations of him.

Once your son is old enough to decide for himself that is strong enough to cope with that, then fine. But while he is so young it is your job to protect him from the less open minded in the world.

He is going to be old enough to start understanding what the funny looks, silly comments and harsh reactions mean soon.

People will judge what kind of person he is based on the way he dresses, wears his hair etc. Once he starts school you might find that many children are discouraged from befriending him and he is excluded from parties and play dates. I'm not saying that any of this is right, but it will happen. People will judge him and yourself based on the choices you make for him.

If enough people expect him to amount to nothing he might start believing it himself.

SchroSawMummyRidingSantaClaus · 24/11/2012 14:36

Shouting and swearing in public isn't a way to project a good image of yourself, regardless of if your child can hear.

You are an adult, you should act like one.

RowanMumsnet · 24/11/2012 14:37

Hello

Don't troll-hunt on threads, please

Going to college is nothing to be proud of, every child in the whole country should get A Levels as a minimum.

Sparklingbrook · 24/11/2012 14:39

Thanks Tantrums. Sounds pretty much like most AIBUs then. Confused
