my parents were knowledgeable about the general dynamic of my relationship, but i left out all the gory details. my mother was a pretty understanding person, though, and my dad didn't have enough say-so to say any different, so i didn't run into too much trouble over my relationship. honestly, issues like this are one of the biggest reasons that i personally do not advocate entering into an m/s or d/s relationship until one is financially independent. i realize this isn't always realistic for some (and how i miss those days of NOT being financially independent), but like i said, i try to encourage people to move out and learn to support themselves before they give themselves up to someone else. i'm not trying to invalidate your relationship, or anything close to that, but i can see how messy this could get. maybe there are ways you could compromise - like toning down the outward protocols of your relationship around your parents and having your master over to spend time with them as your partner. also, maybe it would be a small battle worth losing to wear a collar that you can remove if it's causing a huge amount of trouble with your mother. my advice would be to sit down and discuss it with her and find out what her concerns are and what you can do, within reason, to compromise. to be honest, as much as i would like to advise you to tell her that you're grown and you'll do what you want, it's just not realistic when you are living with her, and there'll be plenty of time for that once you move out on your own. i've seen negative situations like that play out with friends, and it is pretty ugly. sometimes it's just better to compromise where you can.
