It's human psychology for them to push the big red button when you expressly tell them not to. Kinda like trying to tell Soldiers not to drink on deployments. If you tell them not to, chances are they're going to go out and do it anyway, if only just to spite you.

My girls are only 5 and 3 at this point... I'm going to try and learn whatever Jedi mind tricks my friends with older daughters (*cough*Moira*cough*) have so that I can then implement them on my kids. I'm thinking some form of reverse psychology is involved...

As for mohawks, they are fine on little kids, as you get older you look like a dipshit as well.
Lemme know when someone dies from a belly button ring.

Oh, and that's your opinion. Other people feel different about mohawks on adults.

So if your kid wants to molest other kids, it's not a big deal because someone didn't die?

Exactly, my opinion is about as worthless as yours, but yours is just a little more worthless.

Any piercing can be deadly if you end up with a staph infection.

Belly button rings just aren't a big deal, and I don't think you'll convince any teen otherwise no matter how much rational sitting you do. I understand your sentiment and don't disagree with it, but in the end we're talking about a very minor non-permanent body piercing....we're not talking career setting life long face tattoos here.

Kids are smart. My 7 year old figured out all on his own that the school was lying to him about mohawks increasing aggression in young boys. They presented a rational argument for the banning of spiked hair, he called bullshit.

I guess my point is that if you want your kids to trust you on the important things that you teach them about life, you can't bullshit them about things that don't matter or you lose their trust in everything else you say.
So I guess I should just tell her to do whatever the hell she wants, huh? That way, she can't rebel against me at all since I won't have set any rules for her. I imagine she'll grow up to be a wonderful asset to society if I never tell her not to do anything.

And who ever said I was going to BS my daughter about anything?
