This belongs on Parenting board but it seems no one's ever over there. I just need to vent. My son (age 22 & living at home after college) already has a pet ball python snake and a chameleon. He now wants a sugar glider which is some kind of marsupial (sp?). My husband and I have said no until he moves into his own place. So now he's going to "punish" us by getting his 5th tattoo. He knows we are very much against getting any more but we've made it clear that it's his body and he's an adult and we certainly can't stop him from getting another tattoo if he so desires. But it is our house and we feel we need to draw the line as far as more pets. I need some perspective...am I being unreasonable? My son says he's tired of us treating him like a 16 year old.
Any advise is appreciated.
