Having our 8 yr old daughter tell me she didnt want her Dad to take her to basketball training on Monday night as the kids would see her Dad is different to theirs.... I was in tears, I was hurt that our daughter was embarassed, scared, afraid of others judging her & her Dad!
I had a good talk to her & told her she should be more proud of her Dad & her balinese heritage..
She then put on her uniform grabbed the keys & asked Dad if he could take her to training...
Later I asked if it all went well & she said the girls all said "Wow your Dads got heaps of tattoo's!"
Although the post was initially about being hit at a bar in bali, which I also think is a disgrace!!! But this does happen often in bars, pubs etc at home..
It should still be told so others can be aware!
