Interesting day
Our whole family (including my "new" daughter) got together this weekend to celebrate our parent's 25th anniversary as well as our step-dad's 75th birthday. It was the first time my older brothers had seen me kilted. Aside from the initial kidding around it went over rather well. The first comment was about cross-dressing. I used one of the lines I read here on them..."if I wanted to look like a woman I'd wear pants". That shut them up in a hurry! My oldest brother's wife was initially sceptical of the whole idea, until she saw how I looked. She loved it!
All in all it was a pretty good day.
The only downside was my brother-in-law. He lives in the same city as me and has seen me kilted numerous times. Each time he always made some smart-assed comment about it. I usually ignore him, but today I finally put him in his place. This afternoon he referred to my kilt as a "man dress" in front of everyone. I waited till he and my sister were alone, then I explained once again that it was called a kilt, and was a male garment. If he couldn't accept that, then I would no longer accept him as a member of the family. I left it at that. Later this evening at dinner he handed me a written apology. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.

Well done Al, it's not easy facing family members. They are often the most unwilling to accept change.
The freedom and independance you express in wearing a kilt may well be threatening to them.
I'm glad to hear of the positive feedback to got.

Al,
If the occasion arises, I hope that I handle it as well.
Hopefully, that will be the end of the issue with your family.

Hi!
My family - that is the rest of my family, my wife and children have seen me in kilt already - got its first impression of my kilt last weekend when I visited my sister. She did not mention it at all until sunday and then she sorts it into the category "my strange brother does strange things".
The real test will come next weekend when my pßarents will be visiting. They will already know it, since my sister is sure to tll them of her strange brother!
But then I have to live with the reactions of my wife and children not those of my parents. Since they do not like my whole lifestyle (too christian, not enough ambition, wrong wife,etc.) I have learnt to live with their disapproval.
