convincing parents

[tttaylorrr]

In my experience it's a lot harder to convince your parents you're responsible enough to get the first animal

i agree.
but like others said: research! know the facts, print out care sheets and other resources and go in level-headed and knowledge ready! maybe show them some videos so they can see how sweet they are. i moved back in with my parents after i got my first BP: my mother wasn't thrilled, but i explained to her she will practically never see them. years later i let her know i was planning to get another one and she was actually kind of excited! of course i am 25 lol, but the fact remains that it is their house and you must abide by their wishes.
