Parents Started by: Z

I know exactly how u feel! I’m 5 weeks PO and still haven’t told my parents!! Luckily they live 250 miles away so don’t see them often and they were away when I had my op!!

We are adults and it’s up to us what we do with our bodies, but just don’t want them to think bad of me!!

You have to tell her at some point especially as ur living with her, I can imagine it must feel scary and your worried what she might think, or say…but if your hearts set on having a boob job personally I would just spit it out and see what’s her reaction first. xxx

I actually text my mum she had a go at first but then came around as I’m 28 and she knows if I want to do it I will so she’s fine now. My dad still doesn’t know lol! Xx

omg that’s so me. i hoping to have rhinoplasty, i’ve got my appoint with P.C on tuesday. I just dont know how to tell my parents either, and my siblings. dont want to be judged or looked at funny. lol. but couple of weeks ago my sister brought up having her boobs done and at first my mum was like why once you have kids they’ll b big and we were saying no not everyone get big or if they do they deflate etc and then she was like oh ok your right, save up. but i’m freaked out saying i want my nose doing. i literately feel sick when I’m about to bring it up and just back out the room. lol. im bloody 24 years old and mortified at the thought of actually telling em. i might just get the surgery done and come home, they can find out like that. lol. hope it all goes well for you.x

I was so scared to tell my parents too. I was so worried they would be angry and think bad of me and then there would be an awkward atmosphere. I ended up texting my mom as I knew I had to tell her as I live with my parents but couldn’t tell her to her face! I was so surprised, she was so supportive & she told my dad and they both said as long as it makes me happy and the surgeon has said it is safe for me to go ahead then they will support me throughout. I can’t explain how happy I felt once I told them, it was like a massive weight had been lifted off shoulders and I am so excited to get my boobs done now!! So you’ll be fine, maybe just text her xxx

Same situation here! Haha my dad knows hes given me some money towards my op lol.. My mam and sisters dont have a clue! I dearnt tell my mam… “oh laura what do you want that done for” can you afford it?!… End of day its our life our body and our bank xx

Lol @zoe… Wait till embarrassing bodies is on lol

Tell them whilst your in the hospital… ” mam.. Just to let you know im about to get some new boobs.. So will spk after my op 🙂 see u soon” haa xx

I think everyone is the same… I’m 22 and when it came to telling my parents I just wanted to hide!!
The first one I spoke to was my mum as she knew I didnt like that area of my body… I told her I felt like a boy in the chest area and showed her them, she was totally understanding and has stood by me 100%,, my BA is this Friday coming and she has even booked the day of work for me. My dad told me ‘if it makes you happy then do it, I’ll be there all the way’.
After that I found my worry for the surgery went. They’re your parents and even if they don’t understand it at first they will come round 🙂
Sorry for the long reply!! Xx

I was nervous for telling my parents too but they are fine.. And my opp is actually on my dads birthday ha oops! Just go for it they will have to come around to the idea.. I kinda just broke it to them n told them I was thinking of having it n they thought I was joking until I was like erm I’m not joking lol then they were fine making sure I book with a decent company etc. xx

I understand you dont want to disappoint your mum and dad but if something for you that will change your confidence etc I think they should be supportive. My mum is fine about it if thats what I want she says go for it ive had a baby and ive lost confidence in my body. Im young and I want to make the most of it why I still am. 🙂 my husband is also supportive I think hes quite excited actually haha. Im not telling my dad because I dont think he would understand, hes a man to start with and probably not something ypur dad wants to know about anyway but he would worry about me having an op more than anything so id rather him just find he does after.. whereas if I never told my mum she would defo be so upset I just didnt tell her. 🙂 good luck im sure it will be fine x

I’ve been chuckling at these posts … Sadly my mom passed away 5 years ago but I know if she had if been here I’d of been petrified to tell her and I’m a 33 yr old married mom of 5 lol !
With 3 daughters yet to grow up and develop , all who know what I’ve done there’s a chance I’m going to be that ” moaning mom” one day lol xx
