What would you do if your mother asked you?

I am still waiting to get my Kilt, but she has already said that "If I want to make a fool of myself that's one thing, but I should not force my son to be a fool."

BTW my wife really likes how he looks in the Kilt.

jordanjm,

One other thought. Take a look and see what Highland Games maybe coming up in your area. Plan a family outing and include her. Go have fun with all your family and she will encounter a sea of kilted families doing the same.
That just might win her over.

Good luck and remember that a kilt is a garment, but your family is your family.

Cheers

Yes, Panache, but disrespect is disrespect. This woman is working at poisoning this child against his father by saying things like "I'm so sorry they put you in a skirt." It sets a bad precedent. If that kind of thing spills over into other areas of life it can later really undermine parental authority. While I don't necessarily recommend my reactionary confrontational stance, the grandmother should at least be reminded that the parents of a child are the ones who make the decisions, not the grandparents, and those decisions should be respected not ridiculed.

Shows that taste in fashion is apparantly not an inherited trait!
