It eased up somewhat when I compared it to the effort, time, and money she's invested in amateur figure skating.
This is something I like to point out, too. That everyone spends obscene amounts of time and (usually) money on things that everyone else doesn't. It's tiresome when some hobbys (for lack of a better word) are considered acceptable, while others are not.
It's somehow worse than drugs. It does have that kind of a stigma. I am quite fortunate that, while I'm going to do my darnedest not have my parents wise up to the fanfic and slash, should they find out it wouldn't really be all that bad. Embarrassing, yes, because they're my parents, but not too bad. I think, anyway.
