The family's reaction (you'll get a kick out of this!)

poledanceromance started this discussion ยท

I went home for my long weekend fall break. This would be the first time I've seen my parents since I started poling. I know my parents wouldn't be 100% approving of it...I'm just waiting until I can do some really awesome stuff, then I'm just going to randomly bust it out. That way they'll see it for the athleticism and not be hung up on me hanging on a pole ๐Ÿ˜‚ I walked in the door, said hello, got my stuff inside, and sat down at the kitchen table to hang out with them. As I did, my mom goes "Anna...I just got off the phone with your aunt Mary....she's taking POLE DANCING classes!" I ๐Ÿ˜‚ed inside for a minute that she'd just brought it up totally unprovoked that way. Both my parents genuinely thought it amusing that she would take classes....then they saw me work out. I obviously didn't bring my pole with me, but I got into my push ups and sit ups...when I started doing tricep dips and talking about my weight lifting they were looking at me like their daughter had vanished and been replaced by wonder woman! ๐Ÿคธ I'm in the best shape of my life, and I get fitter every day. I think if they saw that I usually do my situps from a cross knee release they wouldn't even be able to believe I'm that strong. So I finally got some reassurance that when I do tell them, they will be so happy for the state of my health that will be at the front of their mind now how I'm getting that way! I just wanted to post this for any other girls out there that have unsupportive families...if they really love us and care about our health and welfare as much as they say they do...well, at some point, the total-body makeover can't lie, right? *FLEX!* ๐Ÿ˜‚
