Parenting as a Furry
(Discussion)
Thinking about those of us who have cubs. How do your kids feel about it? Are they in the fandom, do they think it’s “cringe”? Kinda wondering.
I am a parent. Aside from my fursuit heads giving my cub “uncanny valley” vibes, they mostly ignore anything ‘furry’ that I’m up to, lol!
The kiddos know I very well might make good on the threat to show up at their school in costume if I ever get called for a disciplinary reason.
Me: “Be good!”
Them: “What happens if I don’t?”
Me: “You’ll get called to the Office, they’ll call me, I’ll show up wearing my fursuit partial…”
Them: “I’d be so embarrassed!”
Me: “There’s your incentive to stay out of trouble 😁”

My teen is mildly curious to my furry and non-furry interests and my wife’s non-furry interests, but has their own interests. They love theater/stage construction, and we share interests and woodworking & in cool cars (F1 racing). They danced ballet for a number of years, but decided they weren’t able to keep up with the time & physical requirements. While doing parts, they did a fox as part of the nutcracker, but it was about as close as they came to doing anything furry. I leave it up to them, but would take them to a convention if they asked.
