Don't have an other half to
bore sensless drag ermmmm, gently encourage to skate.
My brother sometimes goes to a public sessions though. (He started learning when he was 3ish as he was there with my mum anyway watching me!) He quit skating when I did (played Rugby instead). He can still remember the basics (better than I could!) but doesn't skate very often. He occasionally threatens to do the drop in SkateUK lessons but hasn't got round to it yet!
I think my Mum had her fill of standing around cold ice rinks when I was wee so hasn't been to the rink yet. I think she thinks I'm nuts to be skating again and finds it all rather odd!
My Dad has never really been all that keen on being at the rink (though sat through assorted shows and comps when I was wee!) If I ever take part in the rink exhibition (no shows here!) they possibly may turn up as they live very close to the rink. Tests are "closed" so they can't turn up and there's no filming allowed anyway.
Haven't competed yet but I guess it depends on where it at to whether my Parents would go or not. Most of my family turned up to my 1st comp when I was 7... I think there were 10 of them - grandparents, great aunts & uncles etc as well as my brother and parents!
I'm actually a bit nervous of my Mum seeing me skate again... I think she'd be disappointed with my (lack of) skating ability now.
She also
really didn't get on with the head coach and still seems annoyed if I ever mention her (even ~26 yrs on since she last saw her!) I don't want any trouble!
