Do your parents know that you are a member of the forums?

[Paleopony 699]

My parents don't know that I have an account on here. I don't think they even know that the forums exist. How about yours?

This thread was moved to General Discussion (Sugarcube Corner is about pony talk).

 

 

 

My family knows about this forum. Since it has become a big part of my life (spending my time here many hours per day), they eventually did notice.

Oh. I wasn't paying attention.

I have met a lot of people on this forum who haven't really shown much interest in MLP, which I find very interesting to begin with. It has sort of become their home. Of course there are a huge amount of MLP fans, but then people just stay for friendship and it becomes their home.

 

Back to topic:
When you spend so much time here, eventually it will get noticed by your parents. At least, for me (like, so many hours, you cannot just hide on the phone, without it getting noticed). Since my social skills improve a lot by interacting with so many people, it is so much easier to talk about it with my parents. It is an interesting thing to talk about, especially when they can see you develop into a better person.

Yes. They know. They found out a couple months ago.

Did it go well? (How did they find out?) Just curious.

[Twilight Sparkle97 402]

It went well. My brother told my mom that I'm a member on this site, and then she'd most likely told my dad as well. Thats how they found out. 

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

All these years, my parents don't know I'm a member on this site. I'm happy they don't because my mom would go crazy and tell me to get away from those *insert insulting thing about bronies here*.

[Magpie 623]

I don't think so? It just never came up with my mom and my dad won't talk to me, so idk how they would. They know I like the show, but nothing about the forum. 

[Clawdeen 12,182]

They don’t care what I do and not only that but I’m 26 lol I don’t need to tell them anything.

[ExplosionMare 18,060]

Nope they don’t know but they’ve come close to or at least my sibling has

[Yakamaru 3,125]

No, they do not know. I am an adult, as well as this is part my private life. They do not need to know. 

[Tom Gallagher 33,581]

They did as soon as I joined. I tell them everything. 

[The Kaeya Simp 13,988]

My family know, yes,

they don't know i still use the forum cause i hide it and never mention it

[Midnight Danny 9,025]

One word: scared.... 

[Envy 6,127]

They don't know I'm a member here, but my mom does know I'm a member of a MLP toy collecting site.

My family knows that I’m on the MLP Forums and they’re fine with it.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Nope, they don't know about anything MLP related.

[Cash In 22,152]

Yeah, but they don't really care. I'm old enough to make my own decisions, so it wouldn't really matter that much anyways.

[Pearly Marshmallow 399]

No, they don't. They'll find it out eventually... 

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

They know i am a Brony but they dont really need to know that i on a mlp side. Usually whenever the question comes up on which side i talk to people, i always just say a cartoon forum. 

[Astralshy 26,250]

My parents are not aware of these forums or what internet forums are in general. I've been living in my own apartments now for many years. Not much sense in telling them because they have never been really interested in what I do. Besides I'm an adult and this is my life

[Bad Dream 9,513]

Of course, everyone I know is aware I'm a Pony fan. Nothing to hide there.

@Dreambiscuit

I'm so glad that me and you met on the forums. 

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

Well they do and I'm sure if they remember it they might read some on here.
