Hey all,
I wanted to start a post where teens can shear there experiences on how they got there parents on board or what didn't work.
Perrsonally I found that sitting down with my parents and having a talk with them about it wouldn't be the best way to start so I started to drop tiny hints to see how they would react. After about a month I then had the perfect chance to talk to my father about it. The following week my mother. I knew that I needed patience to talk to them because they have lots if questions. Get ready to answer alot of simple questions multiple times. Thankfully for me my father was kinda a prepper (camping, military and whatnot) so it was easy to get them more or less on board. Are they fully on board? Probably not. I told them a while ago and I'm still answer questions. Only last week did I show my mother my preps. To my surprise she actually made a suggestion What would not have worked for me was to go straight up and ask them if I could. Odd as that sounds I knew that if I asked then I would not be allowed to. Not that is a massive deal currently but I iknew that wouldn't work. I also knew that if I got mad or lost my cool at any stage then prepping for me would be over.
So what are your experiences so that others may learn? Feel free to ask questions we are all here to help
