My son posted this on Instagram. I thought it was awesome until my son's girlfriends' mom texted me and asked if I had seen it (she's a fucking busy body from hell). She also called my wife (they are friends) and now my wife thinks I should discipline him. It's KINDA inappropriate for his age (15) but I don't see the big deal. What do you think?
I prob wouldn't take the time to read it all but from what I read no way I would punish my son for that
It is kinda lame, but the type of thing a 15 y/o getting into rap music thinks is cool. don't let some busy body mom to tell you that stuff related to rap music is unacceptable. no discipline imhv* *I don't have kids
For that? Are you serious? Do you live in some weirdo hyper-religious commune or something? Tell the gf’s mom to chill the fuck out and mind her own business
What was the GF's mom's objection to it? It doesnt seem all that bad. But also next time maybe it's something more borderline or over it. Good time to remind him the internet is forever. Dont post memes that could come back to bite you in XXX years. Being a teenage boy, he probably wont care or think about it. alas...
Punish? No. Discuss with? Yeah, probably...but there's way too much we don't know about your kid to make the assessment of what that discussion should look like.
A stern talking-to on the lessons of shitposting is in order. No punishment tho. Show him dbl posts for reinforcement if required
no punishment. just a lesson on how social media posts can be taken out of context and that his gf mom is probably a piece of work
She's a conservative Christian with a daughter that works with my wife. She allows my son to date her daughter every week but he in turn has to go to church with her. It's an infuriating, but my son thinks the girl (named Paisley....yeah, one of THOSE) is hot so therefore he puts up with it.
also your wife needs new friends and your son needs to find someone whose family doesn’t suck so fucking bad
With a user name of shaolin5 it’s pretty clear who is to blame here you should be ashamed of yourself
I'd start planning some insanely fun stuff on Sunday mornings and invite the daughter. Got to reverse indoctrinate people
it’s associated with the violent and drug dealing hip hop music and the apple clearly doesn’t fall far from the tree
Wouldn’t discipline him but use it as a learning tool as others have mentioned. Internet can be forever.
Just tell him to have better court awareness. Teach the kid how to hide those posts from people who shouldn’t see them. It’s 2023; that’s a rookie mistake.
@op don’t punish him and give him some cash to take a pic of a money spread so the mom thinks he’s an actual drug dealer
like others have said don't punish but talk to him about how others may view some posts, internet is forever, etc. also posting the n-word, even in rap lyrics should probably be avoided (unless you're family is african american, at which point disregard.)
it’s dumb tell him not to do dumb shit. But, fuck punishing him because another person thinks you should punish your son. This is when you teach your son his old man has his back. To this day my son knows he can come to me with whatever fuck up he commits because I’ve always had his back. I wish someone would have tried to tell me when and why to discipline my kids.
Educate your son. Son, 1-3 apply to your gfs mom. We’ll tell this busy body to mind her own business. And if she’s resistant then it’s blakka blakka blakka.
