Claudia Smoles 72 July 4, 2012 Author Share July 4, 2012 = y'know, it's a flashy red thingy, on your avatar. What is it? :0 are you a robot? oohhhh the fun begins immediatly! Good to see not all parents are overprotective to the point that they refuse their kids to watch a completely harmless show. uhmm.. that sounds.. logical enough why would my parents be overprotective? I mean, they let me make my own choices, and I think that's normal, right? I've got something to say to the OP. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb1ShW3NUME you mean my OP or my mom's?

EARDRUMS ARE FOR THE WEAK! uhmm.. that sounds.. logical enough why would my parents be overprotective? I mean, they let me make my own choices, and I think that's normal, right? I've seen around here that some parents won't even let their kids watch the show. I think that's how Strong Hooves left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyGrey 32 July 4, 2012 Share July 4, 2012 My mom loves cartoons, but only if they're animated Disney/Pixar movies. If it's a half-hour show, she loses interest. Yet, she'll see every Disney/Pixar release that comes out. LOL. She has zero interest in My Little Pony. The funny thing is, I suspect that if my dad were still alive, he'd probably like MLP. He used to watch all kinds of fun/silly things. He even watched The Powerpuff Girls! He was the type who loved Star Trek and Star Wars as well as animated movies and shows. Gah, I miss him.

Batbrony 16,056 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 Just recently told my mom, and, well, she's cool with it! I don't think she got at first that I was talking about a new show (I know, scary, she thought I liked G1, LOL ), but I quickly explained that it's a new show, and she totally thinks it's fine. I don't think she's gonna want to watch it, but, hey, she thinks it's cool that I watch it, so... YAY! Actually, this calls for an entire song of YAY!!! TAKE IT AWAY FLUTTERSHY!!!! AWWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHH!!!!! "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen. Because sometimes... cupcakes aren't good enough. Sometimes ponies deserve more.

Isobel 279 July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 My mom knows I watch it, she's seen a bit of it, but she doesn't really care. I'd rather she liked it, but hey, better than her hating it And my dad SAYS he doesn't mind, but he rolls his eyes everytime he sees me watching it, or wearing my Pinkie Pie shirt xD And don't even get me started on when I died my hair pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest July 8, 2012 Share July 8, 2012 (edited) I'd find it really akward if my parents joined the herd. Same here, my parents are good at snapping off the breaks on the awkward train when it comes to stuff like that. I tried playing Dungeons and Dragons with my dad once, NEVER AGAIN! It would be cool in a way, but if they joined this site or something it would just feel...weird. I don't really have to worry about it though since both of them seem slightly afraid of it. -_- Edited July 8, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia Smoles 72 July 19, 2012 Author Share July 19, 2012 My grandpa likes the show, but my grandma could careless about it, proof that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made for men. men AND women!

FlareChaser0096 142 July 19, 2012 Share July 19, 2012 I asked my mom if she wanted to watch it with me, and she rolled her eyes and said "No thanks... not really." Meh =P Love and tolerate, and live by it. No, this is not a Hallmark card. I'm just incredibly sappy. ^o^ The best revenge is happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creamy Arty 6,252 July 20, 2012 Share July 20, 2012 I have yet to watch an episode with my parents. All they've seen are clips a few seconds long from Youtube. If I sat down in the living room with them and wanted to watch and episode they would sit through it though. They know what the show and fanbase are all about and have been very supportive. Kyoshi made this ^^ Come join us on Equestria.tv on Fridays at 6 PM Eastern for our weekly movie nights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanoshii 131 July 20, 2012 Share July 20, 2012 The first time I mentioned the whole fandom to my mother she replied with "What a bunch of weirdos". Somehow I don't think I'll be watching any MLP with her anytime soon. top lel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegoodhen 698 July 27, 2012 Share July 27, 2012 My mum always wants to watch it but she doesn't speak English and I cant stand the dabbed version, so I have to translate it for her on the fly...

Twiliscael 3,960 July 27, 2012 Share July 27, 2012 My dad just saw the Howard Stern clip on Toutube. Fuck. Take back what I saud about my parents not caring about it. I tried to explain that he intentionally uses clips from people who say the most obscene crap but he doesn't care. In your book you're pedos and I will be one one day.

OptimisticNeighsayer 478 July 27, 2012 Share July 27, 2012 I really only introduced it to my mother (as my father was surprisingly apprehensive about my interest in the show). We watched the first episode together, which she found a bit boring. Later I told her about the plot of "Bridle Gossip", and seemed far more interested, so I might be able to fully convert her later. Strangely enough, she only seems to value it for its morals rather than its entertainment value, and wants me to write down all the things I've learned from the show. I'll admit I do watch it for the themes (among other things, of course) but that just seems redundant for me... Anyhow, great job, everypony who's been able to get their parents interested. We'll make it a true family cartoon soon enough! Hablo español--Je parle français--日本語を話す--我说中文--...and sarcasm (yeah right!) I compose music.

WarGrowlmon1990 94 April 12, 2013 Share April 12, 2013 It's thanks to my stepdaughter-to-be that I started watching this show. She was only two at the time but I was watching TV with her and it came on. Since then I've been hooked. When my new baby is born and reaches the age where he/she starts watching tv, I'll definitely introduce him/her to Friendship Is Magic. It truly is an amazing show for all ages.

~Master~ Button Mash 2,307 April 12, 2013 Share April 12, 2013 My dad hasn't even noticed any of my pony stuff. My mom has, is a bit perplexed but accepting, but is overall indifferent. They also live on the other side of Lake Michigan, so eh. Follow me on Tumblr! http://stratosthestallion.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
