And my mum is crying, her and dad are giving me the cold shoulder, it’s incredible!!! I’m 30!!
Thing is I’m stuck at their house til tomorrow night and have to endure this uncomfortable atmosphere. 🙁 xx
Sorry to be harsh but tell them to get over themselves, you’re a grown woman for gods sake!
:O Omg that’s not nice! And your 30!! see if it were me i’d just play them at their own game, Ride it out Hun, ride it out 🙂 xx
Oh dear, hope you’re ok hun! I am going to tell my parents tomorrow.. hope I don’t get the same reaction! x
Haven’t told mine either thry would have talked me out of it! Don’t worry not the end of the world x
babe ur a big girl ur life ur decision, they should be happy there girls happy with herself now hay xx
I told my mum but not my dad as he is middle eastern and would not agree. But like u misfion I’m nearly 30, work full time, pay my own mortgage and look after my little girl alone. If he finds out I’m ready to explain my side of things. It’s just how parents of that generation think… I hope I will b different with my daughter as its the way of the world these days. I think once your parents see u chose a reputable company and surgeon, you’re healing nicely and you are happy with your results then they will b more understanding. They are probably just a little shocked at the mo x
Thanks girls! I’ve just been very matter of fact about it and am not entertaining my mums tantrums. My dad was just like, I don’t understand it but its done now.
It’s tough as I’m so close to them but knew they wouldn’t understand, however I think I went about it the right way. I have just carefully explained to my mum the reasons for my decision, explained i was sad i couldn’t have involved her because of how she would react (case and point ha ha) . I also pointed out the difference in us in that if it were her of course I would worry until it was done but would support her, and then be pleased for her. Finally told her it wasn’t her drama so enough is enough. She seems to be cool now, we’ve just popped to the shops and she had a poke at my boob haha. I guess no matter how old I get, she’s still my mum, and I’m still her girl.
Dramas, dramas!
…. However she was like well this is the start of an obsession – next it will be Botox (tick, already done), fillers (tick), more surgery (tick eyes and scar revision done) and lipo (seriously considering) ha ha. Poor mum, I don’t think I’ll tell her 🙂
xxxxx
You’re right we will always b their little girls I think my poor mother was sick of me in floods of tears everytime I was getting ready to go out it was easier to agree in the end! Lol x
I was in the same position. Told mum as knew she wouldn’t over react. She’s all for it because like me she’s small chested too and so understands but when I finally picked the courage up to tell my dad he flipped and said its not safe blah blah blah! I’ve left him a few days to dwell on it and he’s finally come round asking me ‘so when are you getting your new tits?’ Haha He’s even lending me the money for it now so I don’t have to take mine out of savings!! Haha 🙂 xx
Ha ha Charlotte, bless him! Glad they’re being supportive and good luck 🙂 xxx
Lol glad I’m not the only one keeping secrets from my folks. I’m 36, been married and have 3 kids I bring up on my own., moved out of home years ago and this was my 3rd BA, thing is I never told my parents about any of them!! I’m sure they must of noticed my ever growing boobs but they’ve never once even mentioned them! X
My sisters just found out last week! I was a bit devastated tbh I know they are ashamed but they’re still supportive 🙂 I thought to myself this has changed my life I’m happy!x
Don’t worry about what they think. I know it’s hard because they’re your parents but honestly just remember this is something for yourself and just think of the benefits! Luckily, my family are all really supportive but you always have the boob army on here! This is always where I turn to when I’m feeling a bit down or worried about my op which is a week this Saturday. You have all the girlies on here for support xxxxx
I know, I love this place and I love that everyone is so supportive. No judgement, no dramas, just support and lots of love 🙂 Thanks girls xxx
Love you all!!! X
I have never told my parents too , I can’t they would never to speak to me again , i just have to wear loose clothes around them lol xx
i also have this problem with my parents ,i told them i was thinking of having a gastric wrap after years of dieting and getting know where well they didnt like it at all and was going on saying i just need stop eating! and no dont be doing that its such a big thing ,
well i got the cold shoulder and in the end didnt go through with it ,and i still now am having trouble losing weight which is also stopping me from getting my uplift/implants 🙁
i also am 30 but they make me feel like a child and scared of there reactions !theres no way id mention a boob job that would be it ,iv got a 13 year old and when shes older id support her no matter what she wants to do ,
even if i had another child they wouldnt be happy ,i really need to get some balls and think of my self and not give a dam what they think !its just hard 🙁 xx
Princess that is kind of what i said to my mum. I said I had to do things for me before I was too old and it was too late. She was being all dramatic and saying when I’m dead and gone (jeez!!!!) you can do what you like but I don’t want to see it in my lifetime. I explained that that was emotional blackmail and holding my life to ransom and for so many years I have put things off so as not to offend or hurt them but I’m a big girl and have to start doing things for me. I explained that I can’t live my life for other people anymore and she should focus on her life and not try/worry about living mine for me as I was doing okay by myself. She seems cooler about it now and I feel like I have made a positive turning point in my life at 31 ha ha xxx
If its any consolation Misfion my dad has been totally unsupportive. He has said things like ‘you cant tell with clothes on so whats your problem’ and ‘im too young too be ungoing unnecessary operations with large risks’ And ‘£5000 could be far better spent’. Hes being totally unsupportive and has said he cant accept what im doing and if anything goes wrong he cant wait to say ‘I told you so’. Its got quite spiteful actually. Im just very pleased my mum and step dad are supporting me and know and understand exactly why im doing it! xxx
Oh Danielle, try not to let it get to you too much. I have no idea what goes on in some peoples heads sometimes. All I know is that this whole experience has been wonderful and life changing for me and it has made me realise how lovely people can be – you lovely girlies 🙂 I will always support any friend or family member in their choices as I now know how much that means xxx
Considering they are people that are supposed to love us they cant half be spiteful and unsupportive sometimes:(
I know it will be the same for me too Misfion, it will do my confidence the world of good and fix my car crash of a chest :p
Aww that’s lovely, I would also like to add that I haven’t spoke to one horrible person on here, everybody is so understanding.
I agree, one of my friends is considering having her nose done now and she was so scared about telling me, neither of us had told eachother about our surgery and now we’re waiting to have it done at similar times so its worked out lovely! 🙂 Yours are look amazeballs hun! xxx
Thank you 🙂 need to upload more now I’m 7 weeks!! Is it wrong that I am a little bit in love with them ha ha. Have just booked my first sunny holiday in years and am looking forward to bikini shopping, just need to get on board with the no carbs before…. ha ha 🙂
I’m so excited for you and your ba, I know you will be over the moon!! I get a little jealous that everyone is getting to go through it now, as I had a fab time, best sleep ever ha ha. Would totally do it all again! Maybe in a couple years……. xxx
at times i just cant honestly believe how bad they are ,you shouldnt have to be scared of telling your parents things :/ but they can go to hell coz i will defo be getting these titties done up to them if they cant handle it iv wanted since i was 18!!you only live once i need start standing up for myself .xx
oh and by the way i wud be in love with my boobs if they turned out like urs there FAB!xx
Hi ladies, how r u all? I was really worried about telling my mum + dad, but ended up being worried about nothing, as they are both fine with it + are being really supportive. I think all the years of me moaning about certain clothes not looking right etc etc, they understand why I am doing it. My hubby has been fab, as when I get panicky + say I can’t do this, he keeps telling me u have done the hard bit (telling yr parents) + u have come too far now. Is it okay to add u misfion? X x
Hee hee thank you xxx Yours will be super fabulous too 🙂 xx
No way i can pluck up the courage to tell my Dad! and telling my mum means pretty much telling my Dad anyway so its a no brainer for me. If they find out, they find out…. I am 25 I will probably have a similar reaction to when I got a tattoo!
My main concern is if the surgery went wrong or something happened…. but so many people have BA’s noweverdays im just going to go for it. They will talk me out of it otherwise! x
I told my dad last night and he said ‘if I had boobs like yours I would too!’ haha loving the honesty- I thought he would go mad! the usual questions and concerns followed but I was relieved with the response! 🙂 x
