Your Parents and Cubing

My parents don't know I stopped having quit. I doubt they'd like it though, they hated it before.
 
My dad doesn't care very much. My mom, however, thinks it's a waste of my time, discourages me from solving, and says I could do more productive things: reading a book, which I already do; completely reorganizing my already organized room, which is pointless; writing stories, which I did, liked, and stopped doing since I lost time; or making videos, which is just :fp-worthy, since I already make them, and the majority of the time, they're about cubing, and the like. However, my parents go in rage against me whenever I bring up a competition--they say, "Let's see your grades" when they know the teachers haven't updated them; they say "Is your room clean?" when they know it already is; they say "We'll see," and in due time they make plans, not even considering my propostition.
UGH. I hate parental interferences.

The thing is, I only do 3x3.
Broken 2x2, broken magic, R4 with missing edge piece, loose R5 that I can't sell, QJ minx. Not much to work with outside 3x3.
And THAT'S why I just bought from Popbuying!

Nope. I can't now. Parents said no. Life's great, eh?
 
Mom: Was completely indifferent until my World Record, now thinks it is the only reason I'll get into college.

Dad: Indifferent. Still is.

Damn it, indifference sucks balls.

Don't really care. They don't like me buying cubes that much, but just cubing by itself, I guess they're even supportive (they drove me to Canberra for a competition I didn't think I'd even place in).

PS: I came third :D

My parents don't even know I can solve a cube in less than 30 seconds... They want me to stop cubing as they think that it distracts me too much from my studies... They also want me to stop as they think that I may get arthritis(spell check) from cubing too much!! LOL!!

My mother does the second thing you described too. Or they just tell me I need to do something else.
 
My parents dont really care about the cubes, they kinda hate it. It really hard for me to buy another cubes. Iam sure they want me to give up. Wat should i do?

play only a little while when you're free.
try not to get your parents' attention while you are playing.

Who cares if they're interested in it or not? It's your life and you should do whatever you find fun or interesting. They should be happy that you've found a hobby that you can dedicate yourself to.


My parents aren't super interested in the cube itself but they're quite supportive of my cubing habits. My mom doesn't know how to solve one and as a result it's hard for her to appreciate a lot of the fine details of cubing. My dad knows how to solve one but isn't interested in getting faster. He's helped out at one of the recent Toronto competitions.
