Nate I was pretty "normal" kid growing up and into adulthood ,my mom gave me a whole range of inspiration to be something ? But no pressure to be anything in particular ,i became a public servant both in my career and my life , Mom came along for every gradutation, every medal ceremony ,every promotion she was there to let me know she was proud of me .
In 2003 everything in my life came to a full stop ,i got sick very sick , my mom was there for my retirement & My first wheelchair,still proud of me ,she never wavered in how she treated me or how proud she was of me from able bodied to crippled .
I can safely say it matters very little to your mom & dad if you wear diapers or underwear ,it certainly didn't to mine ,and matter of fact, I teased my mom that she thought she was smart adopting me after I was potty trained ,it became a personal joke between us .
The only thing your parents care about is that you have a good life ,and you do your best to be a good person ,nothing else is important it's all transient and circumstantial superficial life nonsense.
Be honest, do your best whatever that may be ,it can be different and change at different times ,but being honest about your needs ,wants, hopes and dreams is a continum thru your whole life ,of course your parents won't be around for all of it ,but you as there living legacy having the best life you can, will be a continuing source of pride for them .
