Hi ladies, I’ve been looking to get a BA for real for a while now and I will be booking a consultation. I told my sister and she said do what makes me happy and with funds I should ask my dad for money as part of my birthday present. But how have people told their dad they wanted one? My mum passed away when I was young so talking about anything female related and boys to my dad is always so awkward ???? How did you girls break the news to the family? What were their reactions? Xx
I told my family straight and told them they wouldn’t change my mind either way I found being blunt and open about it was better I just told them straight up and they were supportive don’t keep putting it off or you may never tell them xx
My dad laughed when i told him and said do what ever makes me feel happy. Just say its something you’ve always wanted and it will make you more confident etc xxxx
In all honestly I found it hard telling my family. Everyone’s different but I didn’t get any support at all at first. I told My mum in November last year and she was adamant that it was a waste of money and I could invest it in better things. My surgery is in 3 days and I told my dad at the start of this week. We literally had the biggest argument about debt and this and that and in the end I had to be super blunt for him to realise I wasn’t going to change my mind. Make sure you stick your ground honey and do your research before telling family I found that was a bonus for me. My partners mum has always wanted a BA so she really has supported me throughout! Good luck xx
It was easy telling my family because my mum and Aunty have both had a boob job (small boobs run in the family haha), but it is a bit awkward when it comes to telling men because they will never understand, but my advice is to just sit him down and tell him how you feel and it is something you have considered for a while but you was scared to tell anyone in case you didn’t get the support you needed xxx
I told my dad well in advanced like when I began to research it … my grandad is the strictest most old fashioned person I know and I was so scared to tell him… before the op I wasn’t scared of the op I was scared to tell him- so I told him when I woke up and everything was fine and he’s been to see me everyday since and he doesn’t have a problem at all! If you give them the reasons why you want one then he should understand xxx
I booked my surgery in December and didn’t tell my mum till the beginning of Feb (had my op on the 21st) who was really understanding. She told my dad for me and apparently he was really angry about it, it’s only since having the op and my mum explaining and showing my dad that all I own is those 2 cups bigger bras that he actually understands why I have had it done because he thought I had decent sized boobs already and wanted them huge. I think you just have to be straight with him and explain how it affects you because ultimately he would want you to be happy in yourself xxxx
I would maybe not set your heart on him giving you the money though and see if you could fund it any other way xxx
Same as Lauren my dad laughed aswell lol. Then I just spoke about it like it was normal and kept saying how excited I was to my mum and dad and they are 100% fine about it. My dad is on the army and has always been against like smoking and stuff so I was worried but he was amazing about it! I’m sure your dad will understand as he will just want what’s best for you. Xxx
