I went to grad school first. Now, time for a startup. ;-)
Actually, my parents have been very supportive of whatever I want to do. I think yours will be too -- just speak from your heart. Try to convince them how you feel about things. Most parents only want what's good for their child. However, often this leads to making/forcing decisions on the child -- but only if they feel the child may be directionless. State your goals succinctly. Back your reasoning vigorously. You may be pleasantly surprised.
You are right. I am an international student in US. So, to work in a startup, it is actually harder(visa, etc). I still remembered that (few days back) when I told my dad that I am putting my school on hold for my startup, he supported what I am going to do without any hesitation at all. So, now, I have nothing to worry at all anymore. Try to speak out and convince them.
