It doesn't really sound like "my way or the highway" when they've been gracious enough to allow you a chance to make your case and negotiate a compromise.
That sounds pretty f*in cool, all things considered.
2 other things:
Parents always have to balance being hardasses who alienate their kids vs. being pushovers who are either used or ignored. Allow them to feel like they're striking the best balance they can.
Maybe it would help to make an extra effort to show them that you understand their anxieties - which probably go beyond your weight, current sociability, bankroll, and even your grades. They likely have more to do with the long-term of playing poker for a living.
