Parents. Sometimes they don’t agree with what you’re doing but all you can do is be as ridiculously happy as possible and they’ll slowly come around.
In less than a week I’ll be in new york for Flamecon! I’ve shipped my books to my partner in crime, and we’ll see you there- turns out you can make a case weigh over 25kg with books quite easily…
Last panel makes my heart swell. Awwww.
If your family really cares about you, of course they’ll accept what you’re doing even if they don’t like you doing it, but only if it does make you happy. My mother didn’t approve of me being transgender at first, but she always tried to use the right pronouns and my new name. Eventually she came to be completely okay with it.
Momwar reminds me of Charlie’s mom a bit. :P
I totally get what you mean!
AHHHH GAWD MY HEART
Slowly come around… I’m still trying to figure out if my family is doing that. Probably not.
it may take them a while, but if they care about your happiness and well being, they will eventually accept how you live your life. :3
Reminds of that time a came out to my mom as poly and I’m like “I’m glad you’re okay with this”. And she says “I’m not okay with this, but it’s your choice and you seem to be happy with it and that’s what matters”.
Sometimes knowing that you’re accepted by your family even when they don’t approve means a lot.
I’m not game to come out to my family as poly, or my in laws for that matter. TBH I don’t even know if they realise I’m asexual. Perhaps if my husband and/or I find a long term partner, we’ll address it then.
I like to imagine Mama ‘War, Charlie’s mum and STEVE’S DAD! all hanging out at a coffee shop together.
“Our kids, eh?”
“Yeah. Gotta love ’em.”
That would be an epic meeting of epic parents!
D: she doesn’t know that they’re non-monogamous! (Or like, that he gets his bdsm kicks with other people) …Or that Chris is a crossdresser and kinky. Or any of that stuff!! Stress city if she finds out. (Even the most would-be progressive of people have trouble wrapping their heads around non-monogamy/kink/gender-nonconformity)
D’aww. Good stuff. :)
Slowly come around. ^_^ Aaah yeeeeah. Bring on the feel goods. ^_^
