    Sathor,
    Your young now, it's hard to deal with parents at this age. I would encourage you to not burn any bridges here for the sake of your son, but respect your mother's wishes in the work place. Beyond that...........wear your kilt proudly. It's evident that you and your mother have other issues. I would work on resolving those and who knows, in a few years, she might come around on the kilt issue. Best of luck,
    David

    My 0.02 USD worth

    When I first suggested to my wife that would I purchase a kilt, she kind of gave me that "are you out of your mind?" look. Once I showed her what it was all about, she then relented, just making the point that if I wore the kilt, please look nice in it. I have always done so, to the point of not wearing my black shadow tartan SWK with my retina-damaging Joe's Crab Shack tie-dye shirt.

    Well, it might show up at the Loch Lomond Games ...

    Instead of taking up a lot of bandwidth here, follow Alan's suggestions and maybe my SO's, too. Look good, wear it proudly and who knows, maybe at some point your Mom will change her mind. Maybe.

    Take care,

    Ray
