PandaTeddy Good luck.
I don't know which convention you're going to, but remind her that most cons have lots of security. Warn her before the convention that everybody is taking pictures. She may not feel comfortable with people taking your picture so this is something the two of you should discuss. You know your mom better than any of us, so you may or may not want to warn her as well about some of the other things commonly found at cons that may make her feel uncomfortable:
hugs and glomping - let your mom know that con-goers are very huggy people (for some reason, my mom thought hugging strangers was very unusual) crossplaying - some parents are very disturbed by seeing girls dressed as guys and guys dressed as girls people dressed in very revealing outfits sexual behaviour (yaoi paddles, people being led on leashes, etc) signs - some signs can say some pretty weird things that might make some moms feel like going to the police yaoi/yuri - many parents may be made uncomfortable by the sight of guys or girls making out in public swearing - people at cons swear; many parents are still convinced that even at the age of 13, they still need to shelter their child from words they probably hear at school every day
This is definitely some good advice to follow, I would make note of it for sure!
I have never brought my mother into a convention per-say, but she has seen parts of one when she picked me up from it one time. Anime is not my mom's cup of tea, so she's not big on backing me when I go to conventions. However I am lucky that she stays out of it for the most part. I don't think my mother would be too keen on some of the things that can happen at a convention. Such as the yaoi and the people who think it's okay to take sexually suggestive photos. Those two things right there go strictly against her beliefs since she is Christian and all. Since I am an adult now though, she mostly stays out of my affairs, and luckily doesn't make as many comments as she used to about my choices to attend and dress up for such events.
