They can do whatever they want when they are adults

I support my child doing anything they want because I didn’t have the support to even stay in marching band.
So?
Safely. We will taking all the right classes and training. Enter the career informed and ready. Instead of off the rip and randomly when he’s older because we said no.

I mean you can’t stop them from doing anything, my ex loves motorcycles and has gotten in life threatening accidents while we were together I hated them tbh. But if my child were to say he wanted to ride, I would support it not encourage it. I don’t want to bash or tear down their interests but support in a way that makes them aware of the risks like you could get hurt, it’s dangerous but not gunna say don’t do that

My husband would probably say no lol but I would support him because I wanted to be a female bull rider

LMAO I got a notification for this so only got the title and went “I mean… Pabst Blue Ribbon is a really shitty beer but whatever man” 💀

I truly believe the more you push them not to do something they will want to do it more. Is it dangerous? Hell yeah but I also rather support and love him while doing it then regret it if something ever did happen!

right, that’s how I feel. In my head I would initially be like “ah one wrong kick and your brain dead or worse you get your head stomped in. But it’s also kinda badass and a cool sport. Very risky but if that’s his calling I’m there.

My husband did it for awhile so my kid could learn from him

I know a few, lol I'll tell him he's crazy as hell and be ready to hurt for a lifetime but if you're passionate (and good) go for it!

I’d support them until an injury occurred that was damaging enough to warrant a different conversation with more of a focus on their health than the sport itself. From there I’d try to redirect them to being involved but in a different role.

How old are they?

Id tell them it's an inhumane exploitation of an animal and teach them to do better
