Parents threw away cubes

[NevEr_QeyX]

I guess cuz he thinks that I'm not managing time?

But why do YOU think he says that?

 

[cfopboy]

My school gets out the last week of May. Also, has he specified anything aside from time management reasons that got cubing banned?

nope
at first it was that I said yes without thinking, then it was cuz I couldn't manage time

But why do YOU think he says that?

hmmmm I guess cuz I used to be cubing a lot like the moment I finished my homework I would start cubing

I think that is too nebulous of an answer to form an opinion of the fairness of the situation.

Edit: what you said earlier

what does nebulous mean

Nebulous: (from dictionary)
(of a concept or idea) unclear, vague, or ill-defined.

but what if it is deserved? I mean If I was grounded I would want to make myself look like the victim (which would be easy with such a long lasting punishment)

I'm pretty sure getting punished because he "can't manage time" when his homework is practically always on time is already uncalled for. But getting up in the middle of the night to hide your son's cubes away (or potential trash them all together) and giving dumb and insulting answers to questions that should be answered because they're totally normal, that's a different level. And ontop of that, practically mentally torture someone by destroying probably one of the biggest joys in there life to only prevent him from trying to start a new hobby. And to do all this for months, there is no way he deserved it. Also, add to the list ignoring your own child because they apparently didn't do as good as they should of in something like time.

Why do you think he will say that?

I'm pretty sure if you have a good think you'll find the reason. (even if you don't like the answer at least you'll know)

You can see from OP's previous posts that his dad doesn't need a good reason for strong actions.

I kinda agree tho

I remember I did that once, and in do found accidently was rude to our lunch ladies. I got in trouble at school, and when my mom found out, she just talked it over with me and that was that.

Is it just me who thinks that his dad is just making up reasons to punish him?

Also where is your mom in all of this?

 

[NevEr_QeyX]

I think I'm going to leave this thread because all I'm getting is incredulity at the fact that a younger person could be exaggerating his situation to get sympathy from the internet.

@cfopboy Please don't take offence, their are people who are terrible to their children and I have no doubt that you could be one such unlucky kid.

I can see a parent grounding people from cubes (when I was younger, my parents confiscated all my cubes for two weeks because my grades fell.), but I could never see a parent throwing away cubes. I'm pretty sure your parents took a last-minute stand to "force you to quit", not necessarily ground you.

As I understand from your relatively cryptic post above, you said "yes" to a question without thinking? If so, your parents may think you told a huge lie, or went outside of their morals (very common with religious parents, if you are in a religious household this may explain it) and decided to throw them away in a rage. I would take a few days to cool off and talk to your parents about it in a few days, and try to meet the common ground, and apologize. I'd avoid talking about buying new cubes for a while, as they would probably be super unhappy. As well, I'd try to contribute more around the house. Get off the phone and clean your room and the house, try cooking dinner or doing the family laundry. This will get you on the good side of your parents.

Overall, This may be a good time to back away from cubing for a bit and participate more in life. Even though losing your favorite hobby for a bit sucks, a break can be a really good thing.

My parents often ground me from cubes, and it's usually because of my grades...
(I try to keep them up, but they'll only accept straight 'A's, and a B+ means all my cubes are taken away...)
To be honest with you, I haven't seen my whole cube collection since January 2018, just most of them.

In any case, they don't throw them away, which is nice. The worst they ever did was give my Megaminx to my sister.

My parents don't even allow cubing, I have to wake up at 3 am every day to practice, I am not even kidding.... But sacrifices are worth it...

ask her for "tips" on how to manage time. If you do those, she will see you have good management, and bam, cubing time (hopefully)

Why though?

 

[Cube Tribe]

wow man

Non cubers hardly understand how we feel, I remember when my dad told me that cubing is trash and ur never gonna make a career out of it... and this is the reason I started my yt channel about cubing. And I'll make it and one day I'll remind him of what he told me but I'll walk away knowing that I achieved my dream....

Do they have anything they want you to do in your free time?

This is why I have been stuck, I dont have time to practice man, all I do is edit videos... and when my parents wake up I can only talk with other cubers but I cant cube...

Why though?

Its hard to explain.., they're not exactly my parents but...
