What did your parents think of cubing when you were kids?

My parents say they wasted too much money in cubes and that I don’t appreciate what they do cause I wanna buy a cube with a gift card my grandma gave me, they say I will never go to competitions cause I’m not good enough to even take part in the competitions, they said “I don’t want you to be a cubist” I was about to reply to my dad that cubism was an artistic current of the early 1900s but I kept my mouth shut. I asked if I could get what I liked for Christmas and they said “no don’t buy these fucking useless toys, buy something useful, stupid” in an angry tone. I’d say they’re the happiest cuber parents there is out there. Yes this is a post made by a kid who was yelled at by his parents a few seconds ago so yes this is like doing the silent scream behind the door after you got sent to your room but calmer.
