I just kinda wish that my parents could at least respect the fact that I have a really different interest than the rest of my sports-loving family. I completely understand if they don't like snakes, but I feel like they should at least love me even though I love snakes! My mom told me today she'd be embarrassed to have to tell people I'm busy at a reptile expo
There's nothing that you posted that suggests that your parents don't love you. Just because they don't understand or like snakes doesn't mean that they don't love you.

Remind your mother that she doesn't HAVE to tell people that you're busy at a reptile expo.
