Since I can not stop thinking about this- I just have to post it here to get thoughts from other mothers. We moved out of state to be closer to family- we have been moved now since November. My eight year old daughter is attending public school. She has made friends with this little girl named Rain, all she talks about is this little girl. The girl is in my daughter's homeroom class. My daughter exchanged phone numbers with this little girl and tonight the little girl called daughter and asked if we could meet them at Gatti Land (like CEC) I talked with the mother of this little girl and we agreed on a time which was today at 4. I have seen the little girl a few times when I would help out with class parties (Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas party) I had never met her parents until today. We got to the restaurant a little bit early. A little while later in comes the little girl and her parents- my daughter runs up to the little girl and hugs her. Her mother and father come and sit down with us. I was appalled at the parents. The mother was wearing a Slipknot (spelling?) shirt, black lipstick, two pony tails, black nail polish, black skirt with some kind of leggins that were striped black and white, and this dark dark make-up all around her eyes. The mother also had these weird tattoos ALL over her arm- like as in you could barely see her skin for all the tattoos on her arm. The father was wearing a crazy looking t-shirt with a skull on it- his hair was spiked with blue streaks, his nose was pierced, his eye brow was pierced!, his ear has the gigantic ear-ring in it. The ear-ring was the size of a quarter and was pushed into his ear lobe. It was SO weird. The only other time I have seen something that big IN someone's skin was on the discovery channel when they show the tribes. They seemed very nice despite us having NOTHING in common with them. My husband just sat there like.. umm.. yeah! He couldn't really even speak. He just doesn't get people who act like that (blue hair and all) These parents were 29 (the mom) and 31 (the dad) way too old to be dressing like 15 year old gothic kids. The father asked my husband if he liked Slipknot or Tool, the bands. My husband was like.. I have never heard them. I later looked up those bands and we are not into that type of music AT ALL! I found some of the music on youtube- it was some kind of crazy metal. We were so uncomfortable around them. They just seemed SO weird! We got to talking, I told her we had just moved here and bought our first house, she said they had too- I showed her some pictures that I had kept in my purse from when we first looked at the house- she pulled out a few pictures of her dd trying to show me what her living room looked like. The room was ALL black and looked so WEIRD!! It weirded me out big time. We were very nice to them, just really quiet since we had nothing in common. The mother is actually older than me, but dresses like a teenager. Very weird. When we left my husband was like.. no way.. nu uh.. we are not meeting them again. He told daughter that she couldn't be friends with that little girl any more because of how WEIRD the parents were. My husband was really freaked out by them. He said they were really freaky. My husband doesn't want the girls to be friends anymore. I am on the fence about it, but sort of agree with him. I don't want any of this weird crap rubbing off on my daughter. She is very gullable and I certainly don't want my 8 year old begging for black lipstick and her hair to be streaked pink or anything. Would you let your daughter remain friends with a child who's parents were really weird and freaky? Keep in mind we have NOTHING in common with them. I felt so out of place sitting near them. I know this is REALLY mean to say this, but I just can't imagine our neighbors seeing these people visit our home. They would get a bad impression of us. What do you think? Tell daughter to stop talking to this kid? Tell daughter they can remain friends only at school? Or what? My husband doesn't even want them to be friends at school, but like I said- I am on the fence about that. ?????

Yes, I would let my daughter remains friends with the girl. Stuff like that doesn't bother me one bit. They can't be too awful if they brought their dd to meet yours. Different strokes IMO! Try not to judge...really.

So you will punish your dd? You've met Rain, and obviously she isn't weird, or you would have known right? You're teaching your dd to judge on looks. I think you should let her be friends. (Don't discourage, don't encourage) Invite Rain to your house, but, don't break your dd's heart because you don't approve of her parents appearance.

I am sorry but my first thought is this has to be a joke. I am so the other way around. I don't judge a book by its cover. I would let them be friends anywhere that is kid appropriate. If it is uncomfortable for you to let your dd go to her house then invite this girl to your house. Lori

I am as straight laced as can be but H and I have a secret and we love what you just described. Totally would not bother us. I am okay with people looking different, being different but that is because I do embrace it and most people do not. H's daughter had a really hard time making us feel weird when she went all Goth a few years ago....We were actually buying her clothes. I have good taste I might add...soon she went back to jeans because she said the trip was not as fun with us on it I honestly think you should embrace nice people with differences because that is how we should raise our kids. I actually felt sorry for you and your hubby because you are so up tight. Great people come in many packages. Your Friend, Humphrey the Bear

I probably look about as straightlaced as they come, but Tool is my very, very favorite band. I'm wondering if this is for real, too. Seriously? You would make your daughter stop being friends with someone because her parents have tattoos and piercings and like heavy metal? Like that little girl has any control over that! If they are good parents, and nice people, then I don't think you should judge them based on their appearance. Julie Mommy to Wesley Ryan 5-27-05 and Alice Juliet 8-1-07

I can understand your uneasiness BUT I would not ever forbid my child from being friends with another child because of the parent's clothes/style. Some of the kindest people can be found in those "getups". I mean you, yourself, said they were really nice. That's what you should judge them on.

I'm going to respond only to the part about not letting your dd be friends with Rain. I really think your DH handled it badly. I don't believe you should punish the child because you find the parents odd. Just imagine how Rain will feel when your dd goes to school Monday and says, "I can't be friends with you because my daddy thinks your parents are freaky." Is the little girl mean? Rude? Nasty? A troublemaker? Those would be reasons to discourage the friendship, not the fact that her parents strike you as weird. Plus, what do you really want to teach your dd? That it's ok to judge people by their looks? That she's better than other kids whose families are different from hers? If you're really uncomfortable with Rain's parents, maybe you could have the child over to your house rather than let her play at Rain's.

So what exactly do you want your daughter to do? Tell this child at school, I am not allowed to play with you because your parents are weird? That will go over well with your child's teacher. We live in a world where we have to get along with all different types of people, something obviously you and your DH have not learned, I hope your daughter won't be as unfortunate. You do not have to be friends with them, but to not allow your daughter to be is very sad. Even if you don't want to let her go over to the child's house, she can certainly play with her at school or at your house. I see things very differently then you do. I would rather my child have pink streaks in her hair then to be a bigot or unkind. Jessi

Yes, I would let my child still be friends with the little girl. Before my husband joined the military he had spiked hair that he used Elmers glue to spike. He had his ear lobes stretched out. Sometime her would have a socket from a wrench in his ear lobe. Between he and I we probably own about 20 Slipknot shirts. Beside our Slipknot shirts my husband also wear shirts that have "funny" sayings on them like "I Put Out" with a picture of a fire extinguisher on it. I have 2 tattoos. We listen to Tool, Slipknot, Korn, Ozzy etc. Just click on my myspace page :) I think we are pretty normal. My house is not painted black. We live in military housing so we are not allowed to paint. My bedroom and the bathroom that is in my bedroom and done in Nightmare Before Christmas/Jack the Pumpkin King. Which I guess most "normal" adults don't have. If one of my kids friends is that judgmental about people than I do not want them in our lives anyway.

I can only wonder how devistated she will be if your DD tells her that they can't be friends. How awful. CC Date: 9:55 PM To: All From: PeopleEatingTastyAnimals Add to FriendsIgnore Report as Violation Print Send to a Friend Bookmark 152742.58 Okay, then I will repost what I posted taking off the you can't be real part. I feel sorry for you guys. You are already teaching your daughter to be intolerant of others. I am so sorry but this is no different than me telling my dd that she can't be friends with Jada because she is black. I am sorry if I am coming off harsh but I have already had to deal with parents like you. My dd has lost friends because once the parents meet her they don't want their child to be friends with her. I guess they think that you can caught autism. Seriously, I can't believe that you guys are going to crush a little 8 year old because she comes from a different background. You are the same reason my dd doesn't get invited to school friends birthday parties. One parent decided to label her as weird and it just spreads like wildfire. Nothing like your not very verbal dd coming home and saying "Nobody play with me cause I weird." We got very lucky this year because one of our neighbors is in her class plus 4 other children that come from awesome parents.

Maybe they are in the yellow pages?

Get your darn panties out of your *ss and tell your husband to grow a pair. Who gives a crap as long as they love and take care of their daughter? I would rather my kids be friends with someone like that rather than your kid, what with you being stuck up butt monkeys and all that jazz. http://lifeandtimesofabadmommy.blogspot.com Date: 9:56 PM To: All From: audreysmom1225 Add to FriendsIgnore Report as Violation Print Send to a Friend Bookmark 152742.62 Well.........I don't really like Slipknot, but they're ok. I do like Tool. I have 2 tattoos. My dh is going to see Hell Ya later this month, so I'm supposing our daughters could not be friends? Just because you don't have a lot in common with these people doesn't make them bad parents. It's not like they asked you to do drugs or anything illegal. Please be a little more open minded for your dds sake. Just out of pure curiosity........did you ask them what they do for a living? I would have asked.

I went to high shool with these type of people. They are normal people, just dress a little different and do things a little different. Doesn't mean they are out back sacrificing chickens to the moon gods or anything. LOL, do they have any friends around boston that have a 4 year old for a playdate. I'm getting real bored with the mainstream. (oh and the age question had nothing to do with this just wanted to see if your answer jived with your profile since everyone was saying you are a troll and all) Edited 9:58 PM by aquaviti Date: 9:57 PM To: All From: mi*vida*loca Add to FriendsIgnore Report as Violation Print Send to a Friend Bookmark 152742.64 Nobody is asking you to be friends with the parents!!! Let your DD be friends with Rain. What is the big deal?? Invite her over for playdates if you are that "afraid" of the parents and don't want your DD around them!
