I was feeling nervous to show my mom the tail I wanted to buy. It was a little over $100, but maybe she would consider...

... she called me a sick person and thought I was being a child. I know there are teens and women in pretty tails like Mermaid Kariel and Mermaid Melissa, and they are some of my role models. My mom just told me what kind of crazy person would go out there in a fish tail?? She said only little kids pretend to live their imaginary worlds, but then again... she would never understand. I do understand our culture and all, but I thought my family would be a bit different...

I'm not mad at her, even though I'm disappointed. This was the tail I was planning to buy, and my size came out recently! Without the tankini~



She could've said that we couldn't spend more money, but she had to go ahead and call me a mentally-twisted child. I even told her my size, and she responded that they were probably fat or tall children.

This was just a small rant. Well, there's a mermaid book that I can look forward to ordering, but I really wanted a tail instead of making one which would be easier...

How do you deal with parental rejection like this when you've always wanted to accomplish a dream? Sometimes my parents are right when my dreams are foolish and a waste of time, I hate to admit that. This is not the first time that's happened to me.
