Parents usually have very definite ideas of what they'd like to see their offspring do in life, and a 400 pound wife or girlfriend they probably didn't expect.
In my case, my dad unfortunately died before I ever had a chance to discuss my preference with him as an adult.
My mom is about 5 foot tall and weighs 100 pounds or so. I really didn't know how she'd react to a wife four times her size. I remember that I wrote her a letter in which I explained things, but I can't recall how, or what exactly I said. My mom came over to visit and, much to her credit, never blinked an eye or made a comment. In fact, my preference simply never came up.
Over the years I heard all sorts of stories on experiences my fellow FAs had with their parents regarding their preference, ranging from very cool to most unfortunate.
What was, and is, your experience?
