Well, it finally happened

[Dr. Nefarious 195]

My mom finally found out about my brony-ness, and her reaction was supprisingly supportive. She just asked me ''Is that picture on your desktop a pony?'' And I said yes, she then responded, ''Because yesterday on TV they were complementing the show'' and then I told her ''You should watch it, it's actually really good.'' Then she said back ''I will! It probably is good''

Hahaha! If only everybody could be as accepting and tolerant as that! Your mum sounds like a freaking legend!

That's awesome! my mom was laid back about the whole thing too! Glad to here another fellow brony has no trouble with their parents!

[Starbrose 20]

Congrats OP, that's good news.

 

I've had a good experience with the whole thing with my mother too. My dad, well... that's a different story I guess moms tend to be a bit more tolerant of it.

[Chill Mists (Chilly) 801]

My parents just didn't give a buck. And that was cool. Also good for you!

[Prince Lightning Da Cute 619]

A finnish news channel. I haven't found any clips of it online

My mom bought me a pony shirt for Christmas... So I'm pretty sure she's cool with it

I'm about to ask my mom to order me a pony shirt, I really wanna go down town and show off all my swag

[Discordian 6,015]

My mom just says "Whatever" whenever I bring it up. She doesn't hate it, she doesn't like it, but she said if I got the DVD (or future DVDs) she would probably watch it and like it. She likes cartoons as much as I do so there's no way she wouldn't like it. xD

My mom doesn't have a problem with my brony-ness. I would ask her to watch an episode with me but she doesn't like animated shows http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png

My mum dismissed me as weird until they apparently said it was cool on the radio.

Go hipocrisy!

[SBaby 660]

I kind of inadvertainly had a Get Out of Jail Free Card, with that. My parents asked me if it was some kind of Anime. So I just said, 'Well... Technically, you could call it that...'.

 

Thank you Lauren Faust and Craig McCracken for making the Anime-inspired genre mainstream!

My parents don't really care. Once i explained that me and a few of my buddies enjoy it and it's something to do, they were ok with it. My mom teases me in public about it though...

[ASpark 49]

That's what happened to me. I don't think my mother quite got the point, though, because she immediately said "It's always great to be finding out about nature!" even after I told her grown men watch it. She probably thinks I'm watching a documentary rather than an animated cartoon.

[Akemi Homura 7,680]

My mom finds the show highly interesting. She even said that "the purple pony with the horn looks really cute". Oh, man. Future brony in the works?

[WhiteLightning 339]

Wish my parents would accept something like this that easy......

 

They hate cartoons because they 'are for small children' and 'do not teach you anything' and, well you get what I mean.

 

So I'm not even gonna try to tell them I watch MLP.....

[KakeiTheWolf 652]

I assume that if my parents found out, I'd be mocked for the rest of my nature lifetime.

[EWAN 31]

My mom know of my brony-ness (I got a Pinkie Pie toy from mcdonalds. . .)

I think my family is understanding.

[Mare in the Moon 173]

My advice: Be careful o-o. Once people starting figuring out I was a Brony, word just spread so fast that now My Little Pony is my defining characteristic. Its not really BAD, but it can get annoying sometimes; the things people say o-o. Just be prepared. I never expected it to happen, but it did. Not that I really care too much though.

[Twi Rubix 726]

I'll bet that was surprising to you when she said that. I think most parents wouldn't react that way.

Start a brony family
