Classy: Big, honkin' military tattoos that say things like "Death Before Dishonor"
Tacky: Tattoos with the names of all your ex-girlfriends crossed off
Classy: Holding the rope up so your friends can also get in free
Tacky: Making your girlfriend hold the rope up so you can get in free
Classy: Taking the kids to the monster truck rally
Tacky: Leaving your hat on when Miss Mud Flap 2010 sings the National Anthem
Classy: Treating Mom to whatever she wants at Del Taco
Tacky: Telling the girl who takes the order that Mom gets gas from the Del Combo Burrito
Classy: Wearing the t-shirt you bought at the death metal marathon in college
Tacky: Wearing the t-shirt you found outside the Goodwill donation box in the parking lot
Classy: Telling your kids you love them
Tacky: Not telling your kids you love them
How old is your son? I would tell him "When you're older, you have to go to work. You can get fired for not looking neat and tidy and groomed". My mom told me all the time when I was young, that she can't wear whatever she wanted to work.
Seriously?! Kids are kids and need to express who they are. I am not going to MAKE my son wear certain clothing. Does he look neat and tidy? Probably not as much as he could.
I was a 'new wave' kid in my day, unkempt sloppy. Now, that I am older, I present myself differently.
I'm willing to bet neither of us have never mocked ANYONE on CD.
I could be wrong, but I think the other poster meant this post below was mockery:

*kids who constantly jump on and pull on their parents while the parents are talking to another adult
We can't get off our high horses for even a minute??

I have no problem mocking people who feed Coca-Cola to infants.
I guess I'm supposed to embrace them and offer helpful parenting tips on the spot? I know exactly how that would go.
People judge each other. It happens all the time, all day long. Is it right or honorable or fair? No. Some people are much more "live and let live," but everyone has a "thing" other parents do that drives them crazy.

You know, I've worked in pediatrics in various settings for about 40 years, and I've never seen anyone feed Coca-Cola to an infant. Since you see this frequently, maybe you can figure out an approach. Here in libertarian Colorado, you'd probably get slapped upside the head, at least figuratively, for saying anything.
I think classy would be raising kind, thoughtful, polite, considerate children that don't judge others.
Yep, that is classy to me. I really feel bad when I hear a kid use some words like fart, or things like that. Yet some parents think that is cute. In a grocery store one day there were two young girls, probably 13 or so, and they were using the F Bomb like it was saying hello. To me that is low class and I think their parents had a lot to do with that behavior.
