...a really nice red hooded sweatshirt, that he was really pleased with at the time, and then you happened, in June, to see on Instagram that he had spray-painted "Back Off BP" all over the front of it, would you be a little bit put out?

It had the slogan, "I just want to smell like a campfire" on the front. He loves camping. It was not a cheap hoodie.

And would you put a very mild little message, such as "Oi! I gave you that sweatshirt and look what you've done to it!" in the Instagram comments box?

ElaineI Will ask DS about this as maybe strikes a slight recognition!

Don't tell him I've put it on here! shock grin (Don't mind really)

I tried to get a picture up but I can't make it load onto the thread.

Would I be annoyed - Yes.
Would I say something - No.

However. I am sure your GS still loves you. You are a brilliant grandparent.

However (again) at 17 there is a rule that he must be hard done by by at least one person. And it’s now your turn. I’m sure this will blow over. His mum or Dad will probably do some massive indiscretion soon and you’ll be forgiven.

I would be surprised if they still had it 6 months later. Wouldn't mind at all about his way of protesting. Good for him. If I were to make a comment on Instagram, they would come off it and use another media. ?

Being a snowflake obviously runs in the family. It's an item of clothing.
