Brony Parents

[Proctra Music 335]

That's great news! Odd to find bronies in this world. Unfortunately in my area bronies are little to none.

[~Chaos~ 3,966]

That's actually really sweet!

[Crystal Sparkle 344]

I dunno if I want my mom to join...it'll just be too weird.

 

But congrats anyway!

My mom didn't join the herd, but she likes to tease me about it! Yesterday (Sunday) I was over watching "American Pickers" with her. Mike and Frank found a taxidermist mounted (very small) pony. My mom started asking me if it was one of the ponies I like! I didn't know whether to laugh or freak out! LOL! It was so creepy! We both freaked out over the taxidermy monkey with no teeth!

[Bohtty 1,775]

Lol my parents wouldn't even have time to watch MLP, but congrats to you anyways xD

And so it begins...

[Yellow Diamond 7,564]

These are the success stories worth hearing about.

[murkyx 904]

If any of my parents were to join the herd, it would be my mother. But either way she's been fully supportive of this fandom because it's been a positive influence, so if she wants to watch an episode, I'll show her, but on her time.

 

My father is indifferent and could not care less.

[Sepia-chan 495]

I'd find it really akward if my parents joined the herd.

 

This, four billion times over. It would just be weird and awkward, to me, anyway.

[Pinkamena Diane Pi 3]

My parents are neutral. They don't care if I watch the show, but they aren't obsessed with it, either.

[DiscordxChaos 34]

Awesome! I managed to bring both of my parents into the herd.

[DashPony 359]

When my Mom first found out that I watched it she made fun of me constantly Then a few weeks ago she came over to my apartment and started talking about random things relating to the show. Turns out she has seen most of season 1. She's a fan, but she'll never actually admit it

 

My Dad thinks i'm insane, and doesn't understand why i'm a brony. He just keeps his opinions to himself since i'm an adult.

[darkfeather_gryphon 1]

congrats on showing your mom the ways of the brony, I did the same with two of my friends and now the brony population in my home town has increased, as there are not very many where I am that I know of.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Well my mom decided to research these "bronies" on the internet.

She is now scared of the internet and thinks that I should hang out with my real friends instead of anyone on the internet

[Inky Milk 78]

Whenever my dad sees me watching FiM, he starts singing the old theme song from the G1 MLP I used to watch when I was little. It's awesome

 

When we babysit my 2 year old cousin, if it happens to be on I'll switch the the tv to MLP for her to watch. My mom rolls her eyes and likely thinks Pinkie is too weird, but she'll keep watching even after my cousin is down for her nap I know she'll never go out of her way to watch it or anything, but she humors me and buys me ponies on occasion, so still awesome.

My parents could not care any less about this. My mom never really brings it up. And my dad, well my dad apparently to him everyone who watches the show is either gay or a Pedophile. I can't stand his way of thinking.

That really sucks. If anything, being athletic should be an excuse to be able to do anything you want to do regardless of gender stereotypes.

 

what... is your left eye?

that bucks

my mother understands that when I like it, a lot of my age people would like it too. I love my mom

I hope your parents will understand it one day too

[My little pwny 1,390]

I've got something to say to the OP.

 

[Aphelion 253]

My grandpa likes the show, but my grandma could careless about it, proof that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made for men.

I think I helped him understand it more. Still he believes I should "Lay Low" not tell anyone anyone about it. I don't think he'll understand it or like it. And I've accepted that sorta.

[BladeSpinnerPony 16]

What is this sorcery???? My mum gets hesitant whenever I mention ponies and I would never bother with my dad. He would probably explode in rage >_<

[Ezynell 2,036]

Umm, I don't understand.

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

My mom and dad want to know what all the fuss is about now that I attended Bronycon.

 

My dad asked me "what would you do if I became a brony".

 

I responded "that would be cool".

 

I'd like my dad to have some interest in the show. I was quite enjoying being able to talk to him about the show. He liked the crowd at Bronycon. Thought it was nice that people were able to express themselves free of judgement and ridicule.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

after the con my dad calls himself a "brony sympathizer"

 

and then preceded to watch the first 11 episodes
