Your Parents and Cubing

My Dad really supports me. My mom doesn't really care but she doesn't find it annoying. And my non-cubing friends really like cubing, they always want me to take a cube to school and my teachers enjoy it too:D Sounds like a paradise doesn't it? Well it is:D
 
My dad thinks that I could be using my time cubing to study, which I wouldn't study, even if I did have that time. My mom doesn't care, except when she is sleeping or when I leave my cubes lying out and about.
 
Haha, my parents sort of think it's dumb but they're not really against it.

some of my friends think it's great, others always make jokes about how often i have one on me.

i think the response is generally very positive.
 
My parents roll their eyes like, "For this we sent you to college?" But then again, I'm 42 on Sunday, so they're not much they can say about it. :-)

Luckily my wife doesn't mind it at all, even when I sit in bed and do PLL algs with the lights off for an hour. She rocks.

My mom back when the cube was first released had one and she would always rush her homework just to play with her cube. Its not amazing but she managed to get sub one minute with her own method (or maybe some current method popularized by people now).

My mom says i do the cube too often and i should do my homework. Funny thing is, i cube when i do math homework.

"Do your math homework"
*Grabs cube*
 
****, only one of my friends doesn't know how to solve a cube, and one of my friends are as serious as I am (that obviously doesn't say alot to you, but at this moment I can't find a reason I'll ever quit cubing.)
 
My family supports me but doesn't keep up with me. Like when I told people I got a lucky sub-10 solve, my dad thought I had still been using the beginners method.

They're fine with it unless they're watching TV or if they're trying to concentrate.
 
They really like and encourage it, so long as it doesn't get in the way of school. My mom even worked at the Decatur Open, imputing data. My dad thinks it is really cool, and likes that i have so much fun doing it.

My brother thinks it lame.
 
My parents are kinda neutral on the matter. Although, my dad didsit and watch me for half an hour when I did my 4x4x4 BLD attempt, and even cheered at the end! :p My brother, cousin and auntie all got a cube because of me, and more than 10 of my friends (including my girlfriend, luckily :D) at school have now learned to do it! So, I guess the reception here was pretty awesome :p
 
My friends(most of them) cube, or solve it every once in a while, but that is not the main thing that I do when I see them. My parents are fine with it, as long as I don't play with any cube at meals. My brother will sometimes watch me, but he doesn't like it that much.
 
Im 23 so it doesnt really matter what my parents think as I dont live with them.

My wife gets annoyed with it at times. None of my friends are interested in it.. so at first they were impressed but now they think Im obsessed with this 'stupid cube'.
 
my mom doesent care AT all i dont live with my dad my sister is annoying my little sister hates when i do the magic because i have to do it in my kitchen because of the flat surface and my older brother is obsessed with making patterns on my 5x5
