polly Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 That was the best to me, gran won't speak to him any more I wonder whats worse, my boys renaming themselves to something like that or my daughter choosing a name like Candy or Missy? Maybe I can put them in straight jackets from the time they turn 13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorba Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 And I worry about my kids getting tattoos or piercings! Eva,Piercings and tattoos are HUGE here. Almost everyone has them, some people are covered in tattoos or have multiple piercings. Well, that's here in Sydney anyway. And nobody bats an eyelid. I have to remind myself to stop staring, but I'm sort of getting used to it now. And I'm not a prude, I have a piercing too.zorba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Piercings and tattoos are HUGE here. zorba I know they are! Friends of ours on the Gold Coast came over last year for Christmas and their 16 year old son brought his 16 year old girlfriend, face full of piercings - eyebrows, lips, nose.I don't particularly like them, or tattoos - which are pretty big in South Africa too!
