Your Parents and Cubing

[blakedacuber]

haha my parents are the same they don't trust the internet. so buying cubes can be a bit of an ordeal

 

[Muesli]

My Parents and Cubing = Bad

They like it when I go to comps
But the main thing the don't like is that you have to order cubes off the internet.

They went mad at me the other day for spending £2 on a Rubik's clock off ebay

God knows what will happen when my $23 cubesmith order arrives

Hide the cubes, then slowly introduce them to the house through a couple of weeks. They barely notice.

 

[blakedacuber]

good idea!

 

[Andreaillest]

Eh, neutral. Meaning they could care less. I don't cube around them anyway.

 

[MichaelP.]

Me and my mom have an ongoing contest to see who gets more packages. She likes clothing.

 

[TheMachanga]

My mom doesn't really care. She orders for me but I pay back in cash. My dad hates it!

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Mom's like "Rubik's Cube, Rubik's Cube...ugh"
Dad doesn't mind too much.

 

[nlCuber22]

Both my mom and dad are pretty supportive of it.
My friends like it too, especially Citric because he's a cuber. Haha.
Yeah, and I agree with him below. My parents don't like it when I spend a copious amount of money on the internet, whether I'm buying cubes or games or clothes or anything.

 

[CitricAcid]

My parents actually don't mind cubing, they actually think it's cool.

They DON'T however, like me spending money on cubes all the time.

My Dad is actually very jealous. He says he got it by himself once in college.

My Mom just thinks it's neat.

I also think it's funny, because my Uncle can finish one consistently around 2 minutes.

He solves it really strange, he made up a method on his own. He solves the corners of the first layer, and the edges of the last layer, then finishes everything else in the M Slice. Anyone heard of a method like this before?

 

[gibsonguitarist55]

well my parents are like didnt you just buy 2 new ones
and im like yeah 3 months ago
they hate me spending money on cubes especially now that i got a car

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

It seems in general that they hate spending money on it.
Makes sense, but not that big of a deal. Cubes are like what, 20-50 dollars. Not too much. I guess.
Oh yeah, my baby brother always screams when I flip around with my magic.

 

[RubiksMathMaster]

My parents go crazy when ever I ask them for new cubes. I try to explain the difference between eastsheen and type As and all that and they say I'm crazy!

 

[ElderKingpin]

see. for my parents. i either cube, or sit on my butt and watch tv and play video games for unhealthy amounts of time. So.... they would rather have me cube then get stupid i guess? :/

 

[sub_zero1983]

They support it....but my dad likes to always ask me " did ya solve it yet every 5 seconds"

 

[eastamazonantidote]

They hate it. Period.

 

[Razarsharp]

My parents used to hate my cubes, but when I got into college as a sophomore they have become a little more lax about it. I had to earn every single one of my cubes through studying. I found it stupid because whenever I got a new cube it would be gone the next day because my parents wanted me to study again. So... I get very little time with my cubes I never have enough time to learn new algs.

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Sorry for bumping. But I sort of have an interesting story to tell.
Idk if this is because I'm Asian.
It seems that my mom HATES it when I disassemble my puzzles. She thinks I'm breaking them deliberately. Yeah, I bought a V Cube 6 just to break it...
I try to tell her there's a difference between disassembling/assembling and breaking.
Even my Arcalan 2x2 is a huge deal. Cause it has internal pieces.
Now my 3x3 is no problem.
Pretty much V Cubes are a no-no dis assembly in front of my mom.

I think that which country you live in has a great impact on how your parents will react towards cubes

For Example, Here in the UK I have heard many stories about how parents are unsupportive of cubing

And for people who live in the US it seems that their parents don't seem to be bothered about cubing
