Do you dis your parents for their mistakes on MLP?

[ScarfaceOne 263]

Oh Celestia. My Mum thought that there was a key every episode this season. Which there is not. Do you dis your parents for their absent-minded stuff. Like ''MLP is a girls programme i don't like you watching it''? My mum is slightly confusing.

[ukxRainbowdash 165]

I haven't told her but she always wants me to be cool, I don't want to be cool though, she'll say "you shouldn't watch this show, it's not cool!" Honestly I don't care what people think of me as long as I have a least 3 close friends with similar interests and I'm having fun.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,738]

No I do not, they are cool with it and don't talk about MLP.

[Scootalove 10,684]

Not really. I've only told my mom about the show, and she doesn't care for it.

[Avatar tag: shipping 299]

I lucked out and got a dad that accepts me being a brony and a mom who not only accepts it, but truly wants to know more about us. She's watched a few episodes and likes it, not as much as me but sees why I like it. Sometimes I'll come home from the station and find random pony merch sitting on the table for me from them going shopping that day. Sometimes they get characters' names wrong and make other mistakes about the show but I got the long end of the stick on this one. It's not worth screwing that up by being assy to them. Polite corrections? Yes? Ball busting? Hell no!

My parents know I watch it and it mildly amuses them. I do rib them for all manner of stupid things they do, but MLP is in no way involved.

[The Mane-iac 1,632]

No. No one in my family really talks about me watching it. I figured my father would be the one to rag on me about it now and then but he doesn't say anything. My nerdy mom who is always spouting hippy stuff and equal rights and all that is actually the one who says stuff that irks me a bit whenever she does say something, but that's not very often. I just let it slide.

 

I'm 27 though so I don't care what other's opinions about me are. I can do my own things and it shouldn't matter to others since I don't try to shove it down their throats.

Wow, that's awesome   I wish my mom did that. Well she bought me a random blind bag figure once, it was Celestia, but I seemed to have misplaced it.

[DaReaper 1,943]

Mine really doesnt say anything about it...kinda turns a blind eye i guess

[Moonlight 7,279]

My parents could care less that I enjoy MLP and they even actively search for merchandise of it. They could really care less about what I'm into, and my mother will sometimes watch the show with me but she doesn't care for it. She really liked Weird Al as Cheese Sandwich though. 

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

That time my mom said hoof bump.... what I wanted to say: ITS BROHOOF NOOOOOOOB

What I really said: uh ok. Thnx.

[NotInUse 64]

None of my parents know I watch the show, but I think if they knew I did, they probably wouldn't bring it up to a conversation because I don't think they'd care.

[Shanks 10,811]

No, my Dad passed away two years ago so I never really got to see what his reaction would have been to me being into ponies though I am sure he would trolled me about it a bit. As for my Mom she is okay with me liking the show but my brother poisoned her perspective on the fandom and is a bit worried about me being too open about it (it is not like I go shouting it in the streets but I do have some pony shirts). I am not going to "diss" her about it but will make it clear that I like it and nothing anyone says or does is going to change my mind about it. If anyone is getting dissed it is my brother who really should have known better than to tell her what he did with her being a total worry wort and all.

No, I do not, they don't seem to mind it all that much.

[DiamondTreasure 15]

My parents think I'm strange for watching MLP. They blame me for getting my sisters into it.

[TwilightDreamer 69]

My parents thought I was weird and I respect them for that since it's their opinion but my dad, despite getting the idea of my love for the show, does have some reservations on the topicand for that, I secretly hate him for not seeing past the girly imagery and what actually made the show such a huge hit.

 

My mom, she is tolerable but she wanted me to have restrictions so that I don't go overboard; I don't blame her since she never saw the show fully even if she saw bits of it.

[Ardhacandra 133]

No, I don't. I think I'm a little too old to dis my parents for things they don't know.

 

I do sometimes feel the urge, though. My mom is cool about it, but I don't like it when she keeps on asking me why I like it. The answer is always the same, "Good writing, nice art and lessons meant to teach children things adults tend to forget".

 

Maybe I should let them watch the brony documentary..

[Spagem 505]

My mom thinks it's weird that I like MLP, but she doesn't bring up it up too much, so not much dissing can be done.

 

As for my dad, he doesn't seem to care, and I think he might actually like it too. He once sat down and watched 3 whole episodes with my brother, sooo... 

[Side Bird 565]

No I do not, they are cool with it and don't talk about MLP.

My mom is  exactly the same way. So; no.

Its impossible to talk with them, without them making a mistake. And they don´t tell me anything If i watch the show. Its my decision not theirs.

[OptimisticNeighsayer 471]

Well, I'd grudge them a little for not being as enthusiastic about the show as I.

 

But I would hardly dis them.
