Do you think my son wouldn't laugh at YOU riding a shetland pony, also?
I'd have to ask myself (If I was him).....just how high up are the people condemning me?

BRy....the LAST thing I'm looking for here is an argument. Huntigson's first sentence didn't mesh (IMO) with the rest of his post. I just asked which part he was agreeing with. Rob's one I look to for advice in things like this...and he helped me make my decision, last year.

All I was trying to say is that I would let my son make up his own mind (like you are saying you would as well) and that I would hope that he would not regret that decision. The rest of my post was stating that I would not pretend to him or myself that I thought it was the right decision. Know what I mean?

Just for poops and giggles.....the more I think about this.....the moreI wonder how this differs from say your son bringing home a girlfriend of a different race (insofar as leaving him to make his own life decisions).

I wouldn't set him up with her.....but at 16....is he old enough to make that decision on his own? Would I empower him in this decision, though? Let him use the car? Give him some spending cash? etc...?
Totally different subject....but the answers to each are likely relative.
Is he old enough at 16 to make these decisions for himself?
Remember....it isn't about me.

does it matter?? you'd let him anyway.
there is nothing similar or relative in this situation, bad analogy.

Just like jumbo shrimp,military intelligence,and so many other oxymoron's hunting and high fences just fit together kinda like a web foot on a chicken.

I have to admit, I am confused over how this is turning all of a sudden.
This post was about getting people's opinions. Now others are getting upset over the opinions posted
People's opinions should be able to be different.Sure would be boringif they weren't.

And just think all this fussing and fighting is before we even know what the son will want to do. Will be an even more contentious follow-up thread based on his decision.

Only reply I have to that is......If I was going to condemn one of his decisions.....I wouldn't give him the choice.
