'Tone it down?': Mom demands her son's girlfriend to dress 'less woke' for the family Christmas party, claiming it's a bad example for the children, ends up alienating her son for the holidays

If anyone with a boisterous personality gets told to 'tone it down,' in all likelihood, that's just going to fuel the rebel fire in their soul and make them ramp it up a bit. Like when someone tells you to 'calm down' when you're in a fight, more often than not, that demand is going to have the opposite effect. 

So when this snobby mom told her son's girlfriend to tone down her colorful wardrobe for the family Christmas party, things went haywire.

Over the last 5 years, I've had every hair color under the sun–pink, orange, red, purple, and even green. Would I be filled with rage if someone told me I had to change that part of myself to suit an uptight table of family members? If you don't like what I do with my style, there's the door…

The man in our next story was faced with a dilemma when his ultra-uptight mom decided to take it upon herself to beg that his girlfriend not dress so 'woke' to their family Christmas. I'm not sure what that even entails, according to this lady, but for a colorful personality to dull down their look, it's like stripping the wings from a butterfly–and thus, a big no-no.
