Dear Amy: Our kids (19-year-old boy and 21-year-old girl) announced last night that they had gotten tattoos. They are no longer able to hide them because it’s summer and they are wearing bathing suits.
We have no idea why they did this. They don’t really have that kind of money to throw away, and they know how we feel about tattoos. It’s not as if they made this choice while in drunken stupors; they planned it!
We just find this hard to believe. We feel we’ve done the right things to help them make good decisions.
