Do your parents know you're a brony?

[defaultremix 50]

I tend to leave pony related things lying around in my room such as pictured and pony wallpapers. But never have my parents asked why I have them.

Do my parents know if I'm a brony? No sir, they haven't the slightest clue and I'm not in any rush to tell them. Do you have any idea how incredibly awkward that conversation would be where I have to explain it to them?

 

I could really do with telling them so that I can order some merchandise off of the internet, seeing as there isn't any where I live.

Mine know. When I watched two episodes, I walked up to my mom and said I love "My Little Pony." She stared at me and said okay. So, now everytime my parents are out and see something pony related, they usually buy it. My dad also likes to randomly shout "My Little Pony", just to get my attention. -.- Plus, I have a bunch of merch and wear shirts in public, so yeah, they know and don't care. XD

Sorry nothing.

My parents don't know either. I can Imagine it being fairly awkward trying to explain.. I don't think they would mind.. But they would probably tease me for the next decade of my life (maybe that's a slight exaggeration) xD I'm sure they'll find out sooner or later, but until then I'm happy that they don't know. However... I really want to order some merch :L  

[SwigglySwiggly 358]

yes they do, the dont mind, thankfully my parents are accepting, my sister is a pegasister though :3 its all i could ask for. BBBFF

[Vermillion 613]

NOOOO no no no if i told my parents i was a brony i would get the piss taken out of me every second of everyday i couldnt stand it 

no im not going to tell them...but my best friend knows

[fimdash 1,196]

My parents don't know, but at the same time they don't know what a brony is. My love for the show is conspicuous. I'm sure my mom has seen my pony shirts or has caught me browsing pony pictures on my computer. She probably never really gave it much thought.

[Delirium 208]

My family knows. So do my friends. 

 

Do they care? NOPE. That's just the way I like it. 

 

I told my parents and they were just like ''Alright.'' My friends were just like ''It's all cool, you like what you want.''

[Eureka 1,119]

My mom and dad know I watch the show, and they buy me merchandise, but they dont know I'm part of the fandom. They don't know I'm on the site this very second.

[~StatesTheOblivious~ 1,795]

No one knows. Really.

And my parents would be... at least confused if I told them that in the moment I care more about a cartoon and its fandom than about my study...

[Toa of Ponies 259]

I believe they Know I like My Little Pony, Whether or not they know I'm a brony that's another thing. I've tried to explain to them what a fandom is and about ours, but i think its a lost cause

[Darkshift 85]

I don't tell my parents anything they don't ask.Once I did tell my dad what a brony is and well he laughed and stated "you've got to get in the real world mate"I don't hide the facts but they just don't have a clue.

[Wubsie 1,123]

Yeah, they know. I don't think they could care less. XD

Me: imma brone guiz

Mom: Wuts that...hmmm....oooh, you like my little pony. Ok, you didn't have to rush to me like it was important.

Dad: I guess the show must be ok if older men are watching it. O.o

I think my dad likes the show but idk, I've caught him watching it a few times. .-.

 

NOOOO no no no if i told my parents i was a brony i would get the piss taken out of me every second of everyday i couldnt stand it 

no im not going to tell them...but my best friend knows

Lolwat. You act like they're going to scold you for watching a television show. xD

There's nothing wrong with the show. You don't have to tell them but you don't have to hide it. :3

[Crystallize 279]

They don't, but they wouldn't even care which is lucky for me. Though there isn't even a chance of them finding out anyway.The other people who visit my place might think it's weird. I get a phone call from someone letting me know they're staying or visiting and so all those wallpapers, posters, plushies etc. get taken down and/or shoved into cupboard. But at least my parents would be cool with it.

Nope.

I don't really see the point in telling them. At best, they won't care, at worst, well...

Seriously, it's not like I need them to know. All they do know is that I spend ridiculous amounts of time of my computer.

[DashieLives 20]

I think my parents dosen't knows yet. But my sibling and my cousins are like the only one who knows that I'm a brony, even me friends too.

[TBMF1001 37]

No they don't. My sister and some PSN friends know. I find it better if my parents don't know, otherwise my dad won't be very impressed.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Yes, my parents know that I'm a brony. They don't mind, but they want me to grow up and they tell me that my friends would "leave me behind", which is not true, because some of my friends I know back at University are bronies and staying strong. 

[TeamChaosPrez 10]

EVERYBODY knows I'm a pegasister. I hang out with other bronies, I have posters on my wall, I have a bunch of figures and even a coloring book. My dad complains about me getting my brothers into it and I'm pretty sure my mom thinks I'm nuts but I don't think they particularly care. What they don't know is that I'm part of the fandom. They banned me from the Internet, so be a friend and keep the secret

[LightsCameraAction 100]

No, my parents don't know that I am a Brony, not yet at least. It's a lot more difficult to hide than I thought it would be, I know that you guys are probably wondering why I don't tell them, and that is because my parents tend to blow stuff way out of proportion. This to them would be like hearing about Chernobyl.

[Red Diamond 549]

Yes, my parents are aware that I am a brony. My brother keeps referring me to be homosexual, well, because I like ponies.

How did they know? Well, I was caught, watching MLP on my PC. It was so AWKWARD, so I had to tell him eventually.

 

My sister keeps bringing up my bronyship in PUBLIC. She even told my brother's GF that I like MLP. Then, a mass of spaghetti caused a great tsunami of that, submerging the house in spaghetti.

[RDashFan85 46]

Yes my parents and family and family friends know that I'm a brony. Not all but most of them do. My dad pokes fun of me for liking the show and fandom but they don't mind. I haven't told my cousins and brother yet. I will someday but not now. And my dad knows I'm part of a meetup group as well. He makes fun of them but I just ignore what he said's. I like what I like.

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

Sorta.

 

They know I watch My Little Pony, but I don't think they have any idea how obsessed I am with the show.

 

... and you know what? I'm fine with that.

[mycarhasaMoustache 449]

I have my own house and my mother knows I like Mlp but since its just a tv show she doesn't really care. I dont understand why people make such a big deal over a tv show. People dont hide the fact they watch Sponge bob Square pants or the Simpsons. Its a tv show not a big deal really.
