Kids/ Tattoos - What Age is Acceptable

Yeah, we do get lucky sometimes. My mom force-fed religion to me and never ever even discussed sex. The latter was a bad place for her (Catholic with 6 kids). She's become more fanatical over time and now champions Dobson and Robertson. It's embarrassing.

We could have the same mother!!! Except mine is Seventh Day Adventist, not Catholic. Needless to say, we don't have much to do with each other.

Ibram, thats my point exactly. It is a parent's responsibility to know exactly what their kids are up to. I'm not saying that kids that age don't know these things, I'm sure there are. I just think it is sad that kids are left to their own devices and have the time and opportunity to get into trouble.

Since I started posting on this thread, I've been wracking my brain trying to think of a time when any one of my children may have in a situation where they weren't supervised by a trustworthy, responsible adult and I can't think of one. It does mean that I rarely hire babysitters and never leave them alone while I go out. It means we are nearly always together and I know precisely what they're doing. They're active kids in that they take Tai Kwon Do, dance, gymnastics, and art classes. They participate in paintball, console and pc gaming, as well science and crafts projects. We have a music room and all play various instruments. I have a hotrod that we're working on. My house is grand central because all their friends want to come here and hang out and that is exactly the way I want it. Supervision...Supervision...Supervision!! (Plus they're too busy to get bored and find trouble
