I discovered today that I am a complete failure as a parent….

………I discovered that my adult
ds is a……historical re enactor!!!

Where did I go wrong?😢

Oh dear. I’m sorry to hear this! Is he also a vegan?!

So, he has a hobby which he enjoys and which is very sociable?

I would be fine with that. I live in fear of one of my DC announcing they are joining Reform. I think I'd have to disinherit them.......

It takes some balls to be that geeky you should be proud 😁😁

Is he single?

Asking for a friend.

Nothing wrong with it, if that's his thing

No-not a vegan and not single. And, thank all that’s wonderful, not a member of Reform either. So, could be worse!

It probably started with your hatred of harmless activities.

Passion is amazing. Whatever weird nerdy nonsense it’s attached to!

I can't tell if you are being serious or ironic...

Nothing wrong with being vegan either, but perhaps that's more irony.

Agreed! I used to work in a pub and a local LARP group used to come in every Sunday, they were a great bunch!

Ahhh so wholesome and nerdy. Love it.

Hahah whaaaat?? Nothing wrong with that!! I'd love to get involved with stuff like that! And I'm considered normal(!)

Aw does he make his own costume? Awesome!

What period, though?

I’m proudly raising a LARPer. They’re awesome. 😁

How many swords does he have mounted on the wall?

Take a wild guess!🤣

Sorry, hope I haven't caused offence. Presumably ironic, and you are in fact actually proud of him and not in doubt about your parenting.

I have friends and relatives who do this. It’s absolutely fascinating, although not for me.

It also becomes a way of life and in one case led to a permanent and happy (I think) relationship.

Which period in history? It’s astonishing what people re-create now: pretty much anything short of the Neanderthals.

Amazing 😍 what a great hobby.

It very much depends what period he re-enacts.
Prepared to tell us OP?

@CurlewKate How could you take such a risk of outing yourself? At least put “think acting”instead 🤣
also curious what period?

Really?

I wouldnt be happy if my kids were vegan imho
