This is going to be harder than I thought...

Family dynamics are indeed strange. As an individual, I say go Kilted, and be yourself.

It's the Be Yourself I'm trying to grasp. It was largely the squashing of that that led to my marriage falling apart. I was getting very confused because I couldn't quite Be Myself and also be what she thought I should be. Now I'm understanding Me a little better (thanks to my counsellor) and I want to Live a little as a result.

Kilt on, and soon enough your family will come around.

You've got some good advice, most important being, KILT ON! Wear your kilt proudly and don't get discouraged by family. My mom and sister both think it's odd that I wear kilts everyday, but after hearing the compliments I get, they are getting more used to the idea--my sister is a tougher nut to crack though.

Remember, anyone can wear a pair of pants. It takes a man to wear a kilt!

I think 'odd' is a tame word. Mum said I'd be considered quite strange for wearing a kilt as everyday wear.

Kilt on with your chest out.

I agree with the comment from Canadian Kilted. I wore my black watch with all the formal stuff to a Christmas party. EVERYONE loved it. Next party (a family gathering) I wore one of my family tartans (Scott Hunting Green - Modern). Got a lot of praise, then to another family do (this time in a Scott Hunting Brown - Modern). I liked it so much that I started wearing them on the weekends but when I mentioned that I was going to become a full-timer on the weekends, that was too much. "What about church?"; "No, I think it's inappropriate to wear a kilt to the funeral"; "Isn't this all about drawing attention to yourself?" This from my male partner.


I really believe if he could loosen up long enough to wear one of my kilts for a few hours, I think he might realize how wonderful they are. Still trying to find a way to be me (I've always loved the kilt and have been collecting them but not wearing them for a few years) without having a big fight.

Time to come out of the closet (again) except this time in the kilt. Wish me luck.
