Your Parents and Cubing

[flan]

I've done this.

Also, do virtual solving, assuming you have access to computers.

I've just come back from a long train journey which I spent a good portion of playing on the rubiks app on ipod touch. My best time is 40 secs so a bit faster than my OH

I am currently teaching my mom the cube. My goal is to let her do a succesfull solve in a competition.

You've got to be kidding me.

If you don't believe me.. come back to my comment when you're older.

My dad is pretty neutral. My mom often jokes about cubing but not evil way
My friends can't solve it. Sometimes they are amazed and can't figure out how I can do it, sometimes they just get annoyed.

My parents are heavily against cubing and puzzles. I grew up on a farm and if I do anything that's not related to the farm I'm not good for anything in life. They never visited my store either!

My parents complains that if i cube too much ill get RSI which is partly true but they discourage me

My mum is jealous and my dad doesn't care (in a nice way, like he doesn't want to interfere).
My friends give me most of the support.

let's see, if you're not studying to become a doctor anything you are doing is a waste of time...typical Asian mentality, I suppose.

My parents couldn't be more supportive of my cubing. They find it to be one of the coolest hobbies ever (which is true ) and they became even more supportive of it after I went to a competition.

My dad doesn't really mind it, but my mum finds it really impressive.

You, sir, are extremely lucky.

My mom mostly gets annoyed if I do it for a while, especially in the car, although does let me get cubes sometimes, as long as I have a good reason and didn't get one for a while. My dad, who takes me to all the competitions, is pretty supportive, but he's like that for most things.
So yeah.

My Dad cubes and thinks it's cool my Mom is pretty neutral about this but every once in a while she wants me to take a break. (It's not really that bad) My two sisters also cube

They don't care, but my father likes bringing me to competitions, because he can take pictures and write.

 

[Keban]

my dad keeps saying i don't have any friends anymore because I cube too much.

true story.

[jrb]

My parents are fine with me cubing.

 

[RaresB]

Exactly in the smae boat. But my mom is nicer. She even times me if i want her to with me IPOD

My dad is VERY supportive, he's helped ENORMOUSLY in getting NCR-RCN 2011 going (without him, there would be no NCR) and has also developed a hobby of scrambling my and my brother's puzzles when he sees them (which keeps us solving in cubing demos promoting the competition).
He also occasionally drives my family to Toronto for their competitions.

in sum, awesome support
