That really sucks :/ My mum won't have anything other than a cat in her house, so I couldn't get my first BP til I was nearly 20 because I was living at college and then moved in with my grandparents and it took me seven months to persuade them. They got used to mine, but my mum still refuses to have anything that's not a cat.
Unfortunately, as I found, arguing with parents is pointless if they just don't get it. My Mum doesn't so I've stopped bothering asking and so has my brother. Luckily I don't live there any more. I guess if you've given them all the facts and figures and reassured them to the point of screaming it at them there's not a lot you can do. Don't get any more and expand loads, it'll just make them more frustrated. Parents can be so unreasonable. Hope everything goes alright![]()
