I’m so proud of the car in the top panel, holy shit you have no idea what level of rage went into that drawing.

I feel like this is something parents of kids with *any* partner(s) they don’t approve of need to hear this again and again and again x.x
Ouch. This page hit me right in the deep-seated, suppressed memories.
Insert long exasperated sigh here
I’m pretty sure I’ve had this exact same conversation. At least three times before my mom got it.
It’s funny. My family never tried setting me up with anyone. I’m not sure why. I don’t want to assume it’s because they thought I was gay, but I wonder if it was…
Fuck drawing cars. There, I said it. Your car drawing is awesome!
Anwar’s a good boy
I remember the playful-on-the-surface lectures I used to get from my dad and my sister about my duty to carry on the family name. They were always in cars.
Gorgeous artwork, Tab and Anwar is right on the money.
The whole “carry on our family name” argument is baffling and infuriating. This isn’t the feudal era. You can choose to be a parent, but you do NOT get to choose whether you’re a grandparent – it’s up to your kid to decide it they want to be a parent or not. Putting pressure on someone to have children just so you have some grandkids to play with is a horrible thing to do, and shows a complete lack of respect for their decisions about their own lives. If you’re so desperate for something small to cuddle, get a puppy.
My guy is an only child AND only grandchild. Holidays are bound to have the “carrying on the clan” talk at least once.
You know, while I agree it’s completely terrible for parents to push their children for grandchildren, trying to diminish having grandchildren by comparing it to getting a puppy is really just as bad in my opinion. Being told you won’t have grandchildren can be just as hard to hear as being told you can’t have children when adoption isn’t an option. Children and grandchildren are nothing like a pet. They’re a huge part of the rest of the lives of those who can have them and choose to do so. While some parents are right and truly awful and will keep pushing instead of respecting the choice of the adamantly childfree, if more of the adamantly childfree could understand and respect how difficult it can be to be told you’ll have no grandchildren and perhaps be a bit kinder, they might find that their parents aren’t the awful pushy ones. Giving respect and understanding is really the best way to get it in return.
Yeah, my mother used to do that to me. Try to push me towards women…even if they were the girlfriends of another guy. I used to get quite twitchy about it. Mind you, I never did come out as Ace to her. She wouldn’t have understood.
