Daughter's objection to the kilt - need advice.

*** on the whole thread. A whole lot of common sense and many sympathetic laughs here. The best one liner I have heard was from my sisters husband," We had kids so that we could warp them into own image." They did, successfully, great young adults, no physical or mental scars on the kids nor mom and pop. They are themselves and think uncle Chuck is cool.

Cherokee, is it, Bren? Then you will have to get a kilt in the Cherokee tartan.

Think of the lesson that you will teach your kids, if you wear your kilt quietly and with pride, no matter what they or anybody else thinks.

It would be an entirely different lesson, if you were to wear it and be combative and aggressive about it. However, if you just strap it on without making a big fuss, look reasonably presentable, and act with honor and kindness, then your kids WILL learn, whether they die a thousand deaths from embarrassment or not.

Look at it this way. Isn't it embarrassing when your kids do (fill in the blanks) ______________. Well they just go ahead and DO that anyway, right? So turnabouts' fair play!
