Kilted Parenting

Of all things large and small
Parenting can be the toughest one of all!

I came to kilts after my children were all but raised, my 15 year old step son is embarrassed by me wearing them, everyone else (7 out of 8) seems to be fine with it.

Not knowing the situation, sharing the culture is great. Rubbing something in the face of a co-parent is not nice. If Dad is adamantly against son being kilted I would suggest treading lightly.

Of course, there will likely be times when he's not around and it would then probably be fine.

As to Sgian Dubh and Dirks, these too may be an issue depending on your sons age. I've always felt that knives are a responsibility that needed to be earned.

Good luck your ongonig parenting adventure!

15 year olds are embarrassed by everything parents/step parents do anyway, so you might as well do what you like!

My seventeen year wee one...the daughter...shares the interest in the kilt.

The nineteen year old "wee" one thinks that I have taken leave of my senses.
