Reply To: Going off the Derech

Well, the news is out My son pierced his ear, and is soooo happy about it. Now he wants more jewelry, like necklaces and bracelets.

I didn’t react too much, we were kind of ‘prepared’ that it was coming. But needless to say, my husband is quite upset. The past few days, he’s been mechalel Shabbos more openly, mostly in his own room, but he also made phone calls from the kitchen. It’s such a bad feeling that my home is not shomer Shabbos. I’m so angry that he did this to us. At least, I want my home to be Shomer Shabbos, and when he gets his own home, let him do whatever he wants. Do I have the right to tell him this? Can I insist that at least while he is in my home, he should be respectful of this?
