Parents threw away cubes

[cfopboy]

OP has your situation improved?

nope I've been begging them for the past four months but now they said they won't give them back cuz I cant manage time. I don't get why
I've almost never had overdue homework in my life (legit) and it seems to me that I can manage time fine.

Man your parents need to relax almost all my homework is late and my parents are fine as long as I end up with good grades.

That's absolutely awful. The worst that happens to me if I have missing assignments is I have to lock the drawer I keep my cubes in or I have to put them in a box and leave them there until I get all of my stuff in. I'm not sure why your parents won't let you have your cubes back after FOUR MONTHS but I guess they are pretty stern. Is there any way to prove to them that you have good time management? What if we all pitched in to make an essay about the benefits of activities like cubing? This makes me feel awful how restrictive your parents are when it comes to cubes. My parents aren't completely supportive but at least they let me organize comps and stuff. I really hope you can return to the hobby someday.

I wish my parents were chill like that. they don't even let me buy things with my own money.
i also recently wanted to start racing drones as a hobby to make up for not getting my cubes back yet but I haven't asked him whether I can buy a drone cuz I'm 99 percent sure that he wont let me buy it and he'll probably scold me and not give me my cubes back for even longer. My birthday isn't an option cuz if I get my cubes back then ill probably want another cube.

They might take that as offensive based on what OP said...

You could set up a at-home suedo school system.

i asked him abt the time management thing and he said he has to remind me that its bedtime at 8 pm (and in my head im thinking about my friends who cube till 1am when there's school the next day) and also he needs to remind me to brush my teeth (even though I remember to do it but he just asks me first)

So they didn't throw your cubes away. they took them because of bad behavior? Also my parents don't let me spend my money either but I know that it's because they want me to save for big ticket items like cars and stuff.

going to bed at 8 PM you are not missing anything and the reminding you about brushing your teeth is just a parental habit.
I'm glad you are on speaking terms with him now. And its improvement to see that he cares enough to enforce rules to make you a better person.

Also what time zone are you in?

@NevEr_QeyX please just edit your first post instead of triple-posting

well idk if they actually threw them away but I'm hoping that they didn't (especially my X). I get what you mean about spending my money, maybe I am just being kinda selfish

hmmm you're right
maybe I could ask him to give it a try and just try and let me have my cubes ( if he didn't throw them away) for a certain period and if he thinks that I don't deserve it he can take them away but if he thinks that I do deserve it then I can have them. do you think that would work?

Sorry for posting 3 times

uh I'm in Singapore so I guess gmt +8

I don't think that buying something that you want to buy is selfish, that's your choice and if its what you want then it's fine. If your parents think that it's selfish than they are being selfish themselves by doing what they want, not what you want.

 

[NevEr_QeyX]

hmmm you're right

All I know is when I'm angry I tend to exaggerate my woes (Not that I think you are).
And it just takes time to reflect and realize that maybe the authorities in your life weren't so cruel.

I hope this gets resolved! Have a great rest of your day! (It's night where I am)

or maybe they are trying to teach me about saving ( I am already 13 so mebbe not)

I just want to applaud you on how great that sentence is.

but ultimately parents have the final say over your monetary decisions.
I know people say it's best to learn from your mistakes. But if all you do is make mistakes it's pretty rough.
And I can't stress enough the importance of children submitting to their parents. Unless of course they are being HIGHLY unreasonable or telling you to break the law.

As to your age, it is not common for 13 year olds to be buying multi hundred dollar drones. So that may be another reason.

Also also, a few years ago when I was 13 I wanted to buy a gaming PC, but my parents refused, and looking back on it that would have been a ROYAL waste of money.

whadda you guys think

Hey, my parents have let me buy almost whatever I want, and I learned when I was 9-10 to value each purchase and not waste money, so I think financial mistakes are inevitable and should be made early on instead of later in life when you have lots to lose.
