after seeing Silent Maidens topic about her dad, ive been wondering, are there any members on this site who have a supportive parent, comment if u do have them or one supportive parent

It would depend on what exactly a supportive parent is considered.

a parent who is supportive of their childs hobby

Oh. Then no chance.

Oh. Then no chance.

 

well, mine are, should i be concidered lucky to have that type of parents

I don't need my parent's support, I'm very well supported by the metaphorical awesomeness crutch located beneath my arm.

I always thought parents were supposed to support their children and the decisions they make. I couldn't tell you if that's how it is supposed to be or if you're lucky.

nope not a chance.

 

nope not a chance.

 

but for some of my hoobies they are supportive so yes.

Yeah

I wouldn't say unsupportive, they just don't understand some of the things I like and do because it was never in their generation so it's hard for them to accept things that they never accepted themselves as kids/teenagers or things they were told weren't acceptable or allowed during their times.

Rob does not have supportive parents anymore.......Rob is a supportive parent/grandparent/greatgrandparent........

My parents are kinda two sided with this, they really like the fact that I'm working hard on my musical studies and help me with money issues if I have them, but when it comes to something that they consinder useless like video games I won't get support at all with it.

I'd say I have a supportive parent (my dad left when I was 9 and moved to America roughly a year or 2 after, has had no real input, didn't help towards finances or anything since, bar a pair of converse his wife bought me when they visited for st paddys day, my first contact with him in over 5 years)

 

Hearing stories of my friends parents, I think my mom is awesome. She literally tells me to do my best and is happy with whatever I do (eg. If I did an exam and got an E, she would be proud of me for trying in the first place), she gives me the freedom to make my own mistakes and live my life (i've never been grounded, could stay out whereever as long as she had an address/number for it in case anything goes wrong, didn't have a curfew, she actually blocked my posts on fb cause she didn't want to invade my privacy, allowed my boyfriend to stay over, didn't force me into revision, if I came home drunk or drugged she was happy to see me and that I wasn't afraid to come home in a state like some kids are) she's allowing me to move away when I got to university (my friends mother isn't allowing her to move out, even when the only university with her course in my region, is a 3 hour drive away)

My mother loves me and supports me as a parent, but treats me like an adult capable of making my own choices and mistakes. I'm not ashamed to say I love my mother (:

Not so much 'support' my hobbies as much as accept/put up with them. My mom tells me to buy things that are usefull instead of KH merch. and yet she'll turn around and buy me KH shirts that she sees on sale. Oh mom, make up your mind.

yeah they support my drawing

I have been blessed to have supportive parents, even if things are still a bit complicated. Granted, I havent told them Im bisexual but thats more because I dont feel comfortable talking to them about it. But they throw out money for me to get materials to make armor and weapons and, if I help out with some stuff at home, they fund my trips with my hamlet. I would say that if anything I was the nonsupporting son when my mom remarried. But after my sister was born I realized what was important and stopped being an ass to my step dad.

My parents are by my side with all my choices. They're supportive of my dream of becoming an animator, because they know that's what I love.

I love them very much.

Yeah, my parents are supportive of what I do, but I think it helps that I support them too in their interests and goals. It helps us understand one another.

I have a supportive yet unsupportive parents.

They don't have support for some stuff I like to do but they still support and care for me under certain circumstances that THEY like and not what I like only.

 

Which is hard, 89% of the stuff I like they don't so that basically sucks.

My dad is still the same, but after having a few discussions and advice from the thread I made A while back, I learned not to let him get to me when it comes to things I adore the most.

 

I have so many people here I have to thank for, for helping me not to let him get to me.

 

I love my parents with a burning passion and that flame will never go off^^

My Dad supports me in everything. GO BE A MARINE. PLAY FIELD HOCKEY. ECT.

When I was a bit younger, I was going through the rebellious stage and they seemed completely unsupportive, but as I grew a bit older and matured, I have come to respect my parents and try to imagine myself in their shoes and they have always tried to do what was best for me and now that I have this understanding, we are on better grounds. Sure we may get into little fits time and time again, but they are trying to understand me as I am trying to understand them, so it's a mutual thing really. So yes, I am lucky to have supportive parents; I just wish I was more of a supportive daughter.

My parents will always be supportive for what I'm doing. They don't mind me collecting Girls' Generation mechandise, They support me on working in a gaming company or anything that's got to do with multimedia stuffs. Just know your limit that you are still young and still need to follow some general rules. As time goes by, they will slowly let you do your own thing so be lucky that you are still under their care.

 

My parents told me one time when I was about to start my studies in University. "There is no point on forcing you to do things you don't like, so go for something you're interested in." and that's where my road opens up a tadfold and I've decided to be a multimedia student and do Video Editing.

 

Of course they will disagree with some stuffs that we do but you'll soon be a parent too and will bound to be like them soon.

 

Parents can be good or bad, it depends. But like mine, I love them and I care for them. My brother and I will always find a way to make my parents lead a comfortable life when we start working for money, as my parents had quite a hard life before we were born.

My mom kinda supports what I like (KH13, TCGs, etc).

 

My dad doesn't like anything that has to do with what I like.

 

For example, when he's at home, KH13, TCGs, gaming, and all of that is forbidden.

 

I guess he wanted me to become a farmer (Like some of my family), or a lawyer (But I don't have the brains for that.).

Not so much 'support' my hobbies as much as accept/put up with them. My mom tells me to buy things that are usefull instead of KH merch. and yet she'll turn around and buy me KH shirts that she sees on sale. Oh mom, make up your mind.

 

Same here. 'Cept replace KH merch with video game stuff in general.

 

I don't know if my parents are exactly supportive of my hobbies, but they don't do anything against them. Honestly, I think they're fine with my hobbies because I get straight A's, get into no trouble, and am helpful around the house (though reluctantly). I guess they figure if I'm able to do all that, it doesn't matter what my hobbies are.

 

I'm gonna be honest here, it gets me really down we I see people online and in real life complain about their parents. Either I feel bad because I think everyone should have good parents to help them grow up, or because I realize that the kid probably is just overreacting to and misinterpreting their parents actions when they are really just trying to keep the kid from screwing themselves over.

Not really no. My mom wants me to go into the family business while I want to be a singer/writer/ and a bunch of another things.

My father really doesn't give a shit.
