Yeesh! I can't believe she would say that! That's kind of insulting. It's up to him whether he wants to like SW. Like my Padawan. I know I have influenced him to like SW, but I have also influenced him to like sports and he HATES sports

My paretns told me they dont need him into something else. They are trying to break him of his like for hangers.. yes clothes hangers... and his like for playing with toy guns. They said they don't need another child taken over by star wars... Well I agree with you.. if he's goign to like something then it won't matter what they do. I am still going to make him the costume. Even if he can only wear it while he visits me.

Shee, if star wars hobby is the worst a kid can like then it's not bad. At least he's not drinking, smoking or sleeping with people, or doing drugs. Yes it DOES happen and unfortuantly it's at school. Some so called sports 'stars' are busy drinking, fighting, doing drugs and who knwo swhat else and kids are influenced by that. SW teaches NOT to do those things. Humm, what's the matter with this picure??

My parents always knew I wa s akid and liked star war sand bought me the tapes books toys and such and were alittle shocked to have seeen me dressed up in the costume I have but they never were negative about it. Thye think it's neat that I invest in these types of things and the media attention it gets me. As long as I have enough to live it's all good.

My parents were similar to Himiko's... my mother heard stories about D&D geeks doing crazy things in the sewers at colleges and stuff and thought Star Wars and other geekly interests were bad for me. Funny thing is, my parents were real strict with me even though I was spending my time on Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who and getting into no trouble at all, and then were totally permissive with my sister, who actually was going out and drinking and that sort of thing.
People become weird when they become parents. I've watched it happen to my friends. I think it's just part of the human condition! :^)

parents just have to reallize its how they raise their kids, not what their kids like. ive loved star wars, dnd, star trek, and all that other stuff that was considered bad. i am probably more mentally healthy than most. i never hit people, or harm them physically, and the thought of killing someone (despite my threats when im angry) is honestly compleatly beyond me. i was raised correctly to realize the difference between reality and fiction. i was taught responsibilites are first, and when you are done with those, have fun with yourself. i am very greatfull for my parents and the how open they were to my development. they didnt develop me for me, i did it myself, they just supported me and helped me along the way and i appreciate and respect them more for that.

Well me being the oldest I thik I got most the punishment. I remember when IO wasn't allowed to go on overnight school trips.. and then once ai became a senior they still wouldn't let me go.. but they let my younger siblings go to thir camps and activities like that. Now with three of us out of school and on our owns pretty much I look back and still dont see why they did that. They actually tried to squash star wars outta me at one point. At least now they can't tell me aqnything about it. My own husband dosent mind me into it. He goes to conventions with me and likes it. I mean I agree.. I never did anythiung bad when I was in school. I had star wars to keep me from doing the things that would have caused trouble for me.

i guess parents have their different ways of raising us, they may not know what is best, but the do all they can for us and we can only live our own lives, not theirs.
but we are digressing, this is a tunic and pants thread, not a cantina thread...lol

hehhee,
I don't see how hard it'd be to make a tunic set for a kid. maybe making them a little bigger to accomidaite growth and having the length hem folded up and hemed soit can be undone, let down and resewn as he sprouts upwards.

Don't forget, they get wider as they get longer.
