There is the school of thought that says as long as you are living under the same roof as your parents, you have to subscribe to their whims, even if you are staying there under your own finances. That was the reason why I moved out in the end but my father was still pro-fursuits. Indeed, he still washes mine for me. When are you getting your suit by the way?

Also, I agree, sometimes to prevent arguments, lying is the best way...
