I'm having a dilemma here. I got my boobs done (small A to small C) about a month ago and now have my dad's birthday coming up, with my mom's following shortly afterward. They both live 1-2 hours away from me and I have no good excuse for failing to see them.
My mom: would be horrified that I got implants. She knows about my past sex work and it makes her feel like she's failed as a mother, etc. I don't have an overabundance of sympathy, because I've helped support her on that dirty money in the past with her knowledge, and she wisely chose to start complaining only after she got another source of income and no longer needed mine. Still, I'd rather not have a blowout involving Jesus and public crying.
My dad: much harder to read. I think he might be upset in this case because my half-sister is at a delicate age (14) and is destined to be flat-chested, given the genes from his family and my stepmom's family. My implants might not send a great message to her. FWIW, I also don't wish to give her any ideas about augmenting her chest.
Speaking pragmatically, I'd also like to keep either parent open to loaning me money in next few years. I'm about to head off to school, and while I'll get government loans, their willingness to loan me $10K could make an important difference at various times and could be necessary right after graduation. Of course, it's unrealistic to think that I won't see them again for years, and maybe it's best to get the dreadful reveal over with now so that they come to accept it sooner.
Right now, I do need them to fill out financial aid forms (even though I'm old and haven't been supported by them in forever), so I need to not have a conflict with either of them until they have put in all their info. I can see online that they're both far from being complete.
Did anyone successfully get conservative parents on board with this? I'm sure that some people have had to explain their augmentation to kids as well - what's the best way to put it, especially to girls? (Not that I'm probably going to have a talk with my half-sister about it, but maybe I could give my dad a few suggestions if he asks.)
Should I tell them ahead of time over the phone, or just show up?
Should I bother trying to hide them, and if so what's the best outfit? So far I've found that they sort of disappear in a black t-shirt with black jacket, though never taking the jacket off would be weird.
Should I make excuses and totally skip their birthdays, since it might be particularly thoughtless to ruin a birthday this way? Of course, the next occasions will be Mother's and Father's Day, and those aren't great either.
Thanks for your advice, everyone!

Boobs certainly have their own ideas about when to get bigger and smaller. Mine grew when I went on the pill, too. They went from a tiny A to a small A. At least my boyfriend noticed!
