Your Parents and Cubing

[Yuxuibbs]

Why would they do that? Then the wall would be damaged.

i can't stand a cube that isn't solved.... they got mad cuz i was taking too long (only needed 3 more secs) and threw it at the wall.... didn't really do much damage to the wall though, mostly the cube

my parents are pretty supportive. my dad always takes me to competitions with no issues. he enjoys watching me solve officially lol.

my mom on the other hand doesnt get the point. she gives me a hard time whenever i wanna order cubes, and hates when i cube in the living room and yells at me to stop. but she is still very excited when i tell her i did really good at a competition lol

My parents don't support it. My mom asks me questions about it but really isn't interested or just doesn't care. My dad, on the other hand, thinks it's retarded and calls me a retard for doing it. He can solve it though in around 2 minutes. I average 20 seconds with pure Fridrich, never been to a competition, and probably will never get to go.

Your DAD calls you RETARDED? Do I need to call the authorities?

They hate the clicking, I like the clicking noise. I think it's because it's annoying when you can't see it maybe.

 

[Winston Yang]

Nah no one does.

What? I am 13 years old (going to be 14 in a few months) and even I know that parents just can't call their kids retarded, or insult them at all for that matter.

Sorry for bump.

My Dad is learning, but is quite unsupportive, my Mom knows f2l but no LL. 2 little brothers can solve. The girl whom I fancy has no interest, but thinks it's cool.

My parents don't like my cubing. (If I didn't hide all my cubes really well, they would be smashed.) They don't mind my ordering cubes, though.

So your parents are learning to solve but they don't support it.. Strange.

My parents don't care much but my mom thinks I could have better things to do. Whi h admittedly I usually do. But I don't actually cube that often. Everyone else in my family hates the noise by now XP.

Yup. Weird.

I don't cube that much either. 1 hour a day, tops.

My parents don't mind it. They said that it's a way to keep track of where I am at all times, like a cowbell XD

Neither of my parents were impressed when I learned to solve the cube and still aren't (well I dont blame them). They dont really care either. They dont get why I am buying so many cubes though, but I can't blame them there either.

Some of my friends didnt like me cubing because they thought I couldnt concentrate on anything whilst solving, but then they got over it.

 

[ludosandco]

My parents don't mind and are quite supportive but sometimes it annoys them when i cube at night

 

[sneaklyfox]

Mom passed away before I got seriously into speedcubing and didn't say much about it when I was a kid.
Dad was always proud of me being able to solve the cube when I was still a kid back in the 80s. (He was the one who studied the books and taught me beginner's method.) Now he thinks I am wicked fast. When I told him I would probably be too busy to attend the local comp next year he said that I should still go.
Hubby is old school... he likes figuring out the cube entirely on his own and has solved the cube several times with his own method. He's picked up the cube more often since I got into cubing.
Kids just like messing with my cubes.

My parents don't encourage me much but they do thing it's a nice hobby. I don't know if they would take me to a competition if I asked them, unless I insist on it.

My parents say that too because all my hobbies have a distinctive noise :,D. (Cubes, Yoyos make a whirring noise, and shuffling cards makes noise too)

My parents love it.
They want me to get sub 15.
