Nope. In this house the boys have known since day one that any road
vehicle they are interested has a four wheel minimum. Motorcycle?
Don't even ask. Same goes for tattoos and earrings.




You may someday learn that parenting sometimes has to pick and choose
which battles to fight. One of those may not be worth fighting,
someday.



I'm well aware of that and make those decisions daily, like any
parent. But these are absolutes.


And absolutes only make teens try absolutely as hard as possible to get
around them.

Actually that's not the case. My kids ridicule kids with tattoos. They
see the idiot teenage motorcycle drivers and know that's why they won't
be on one. The rules make sense and they can see that. It's not even a
battle.
