    So a little back story : I told my mum a good 2 or 3 years ago, and she told my dad (by my request) since then (No idea when). I forget that I asked her to tell him, so I poke my head round the door of his office at home and basically explain nervously. Both of them have a "Yeah, fine, whatever." kind of attitude, where mum is a bit more 'motherly' which I suppose is to be expected.

    I'm just puzzled by their lack of questioning/being intrigued. Neither of them seem to 'care'. No questions what so ever. I know they're fine with it, it's not like they're trying to just forget or anything like that. I was just expecting something a bit more....

    I know I'm lucky to have parents that are accepting (and they are accepting), I just feel a little underwhelmed. Any basis for this? Or am I just attention seeking? :dry: :grin:

    Maybe they don't see being gay as a big deal? or they knew all along (A lot of parents are like this) Very lucky to have such understanding parents!

    I know I'm lucky, which is why I feel like a bit of an arse posting, was just trying to find out why I'm feeling like I am about this :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
