convincing parents

[ladywhipple02]

My husband was easier to convince with some time... with him I just didn't stop talking about it for several months He didn't have a fear of them or anything, it was more from a cost/upkeep standpoint but... all is good. Aside from the initial investment and the delicate process of getting the set up done, the maintenance/mess is less than when we had our cats. Or at least more contained rather than all over the house

Haha husbands are way easier than parents - you have room to negotiate! "Oh, you want to build that AR-15? That's fine, but I'm buying a new snake for every new gun you purchase... and at the same price!" lol

Wives in general have far more "negotiating power" than their husbands.

LOL! That was actually my exact negotiation, as my H does have a little bit of a gun hobby

Like... "Well...you have guns and didn't really wait for me to give you 'permission', so why do I need permission to get a snake?"

Ha

I dunno, my husband can be pretty damn stubborn

But SOMEHOW I usually get him to come around ....OR, he's just sick of me talking about it and wants to shut me up lol

You just buy one and then say, 'Hey Mom, come and look at my new snake!'

My kid tried that ONCE......... I pawned his PS3 and TV to pay for food, bedding and electricity for the boa. The boa didn't stay long either.

OMG that is too cute. I 'aww'd out loud before I could stop myself. My coworkers thought I was looking at a puppy.

The 'bring a pet home and SURPRISE' does work with my mom, its actually how I got my first alpaca....now I have 5.

My mom is a religious person so a snake.... But at the same time she is very open minded. So a simple 'you shouldn't judge an animal just because of a book' worked. Plus the fact that Karma rarely ever makes noise was in my favor.
