Your Parents and Cubing

for me its a pain to convince my parents into allowing me to order cubes, I pay for the cubes but I dont have a paypal account or a valid credit card.
my parents are ok with the fact that I love cubing, but they often think that I do it "too much"
I guess theyre right sometimes, but cubing is a good hobby
my parents dont consider cubing as a "hobby" but more like as something im into, and I dont like that..
 
my parents think that cubes are just for young childen,they dont encorage me to being a speedcuber,they want me to spend more time on studies,they are trying to stop me,but I still playing
 
My mom is supportive but doesn't understand how to solve one and has no interest in learning.

My dad actually sparked my interest in cubing to some degree because he learned from an online tutorial before I did. He's pretty good at solving puzzles intuitively and has solved my Rubik's Clock, pyraminx, etc without assistance, as well as the centers of my 7x7 before he got bored. :D
 
My parents are pretty supportive :)
My dad could solve it in the 80s, and i wouldn't have gotten into speedcubing if he didn't have a cube laying around when i found Dan Brown's tutorial. Nowadays he can solve the F2L, but isn't interested in relearning LL. I also taught him how to solve a pyraminx using face-by-face.
Once, he managed to solve the first layer of a 5x5 without any help.

My mom is also supportive.
 
My parents are very supportive of my speedcubing endeavors... as long as I don't spend all my time speedcubing.

They're usually reluctant to buy cube because, well... bills. I guess that's just life...
 
I dont know if this is the right thread but my parents are supportive but they dont understand the concept of collecting and speedcubing. I want to go to more competitions but they say "its to far" or "you have already been to one, why do you have to go to another?" They just dont get it.
 
My mother hates cubing, just when my little brother got into it, she became supportive, now that he stopped practicing, she hates it again; my father kinda likes it, he only has to learn pll to solve the cube..
 
My dad is supportive; when I tell him how I just got a new PB time, he will say, " Wow, you're only X seconds off the WR now." And he doesn't mind me buying cubes as long as I pay for them. My mom is neutral. She gets annoyed when I cube "too much" (No such thing in my world :)). My sister? She thinks it's "weird" and that I should do something cooler, like playing guitar. (I already play guitar at least a half hour a day.)
 
my dad flat out hates it wenever i buy a cube and it is over 20 dollars he smacks me wit his belt, but my mom thinks that it is a good hobby
 
They're both kinda neutral. My mom was amazed for the first week or two and so was my dad, after a while they got sick of it. Sometimes they'll spark an interest. I taught my dad just to do the first layer. My friends are amazed. Before class starts I would just stand there and do a solve and like 50 people would crowd around me :cool:. My weird friend called me wizard every time I passed him between periods. Friends don't mind and they beg me to do it. I don't know if they'll get bored of it. I just showed them last friday.
 
I know I posted in here already, but I just have to say again: parents should be supportive of their child's hobby, no matter what it may be. If their child is good at something and likes it, and the parents don't like it, then they need to learn how to accept it.

Now, if it's cooking meth, that's another thing.
