Hey peeps, I've been a Goth chick since my teens, (I'm now 25yrs) and I have two little girls a three year old and a 6 month old, do you think it will embarrass them when they go to school that their mum's a Goth? I'm not mega wild, just chains on my combats and black eyeline and stuff, metal music......blah blah blah

If you are happy the way you are, and you give a good example to your kids as to how people should be treated, then stay as you are. What's more important is the person on the inside, not how they look on the outside.
However, if you are feeling uncomfortable with the Goth style, now that you're a mom, then you might consider a change. But please, only do what makes you happy. Keep in mind that kids will always be embarrassed by their parents no matter how different the are or how much they blend in. It's the nature of the parent-child relationship.

Nah, it's just your style. It's really up to you whether you want to change how you look. I seriously doubt your little girls see you as a goth, they see you as their mum!
By the time they reach the pre-teens, they'll be embarassed of you whether you're a goth or not. All kids that age are embarrased of their parents. Just don't take it personally!

No matter how you dress or how you behave, your kids will be embarassed.
You're setting a good example to your children by showing them that conforming is not how you have chosen to live your life. Although in a way, being a goth IS conforming...anywho, it ISN'T time to stop being yourself.
Being you is the best thing you can be.
Go you!

hi, i just wanted to let you know that you should not stop being a goth just because you are a mum. i am involved in a similar situation where it is my stepmother who is goth, and she and my mates are who influenced me to this way of life! i love it we get to share so much and she is 40 years old, i am 21years, and we have both been a goth many years. i hope this has helped you in some way. could you please let me know either way i would appreciate it, thanks vikki x

I reckon you should remain the way you are. For you to have matained being a mild Goth in your 20's, it's obviously apart of who you are.

As long as you are there for your kids and love and support them in everything,it should not matter what you look like!!!
Don't change the way you are to fit in with society's expectation of what a mum should look like!!!

If you were going to school would you want a mum who is so unsecure that she has to dress in a childish, pecuiliar and ridiculous way in order to feel accepted?

do what makes you happiest. maybe just wear jeans and a shirt to drop them off at school if you're worried they'll be embarassed but your kids will love you no matter how you look so you might as well look how you feel most comfortable!
