page 1 of 16

i have this big feeling mine don't, but they pretend to support me for my happiness. well i ask this because i want to know if other are in the same boat as me.

NO. my parents hate the fact that i watch anime and read manga. they think that its for little kids and plus i am to young to let all of that "evil stuff" get to me. my parents don't even pretend to suppor it. they yell at me and my mom sneaks around trying to see what im watching. >.<
and i always wave at her.

umm...how do i create a new thread? *noobality*

no way my parents support my love to anime and manga???they dun they take the hobby as a childish hobby, even my friends also had the same experience, oh how un fortunate we are....they also thought that i became a addicted and spent their money on these worthless things... OX OX >=( >=( ohh how will i wish that they will be able to share this hobby with me!!!!!!

my parents dont know the extent of my obsession but it dosent matter i've been out of my house since i was 17 and im 24 now so i really dont care what they would think :)

well my mum and siblings know i watch it, dad doesnt well cause he dont live wit us but yeah, sis thinks its boring >__> meh, mum knows i watch it but i dont think she really cares

Yes, they do- they respect any form of dedication or effort.

Plus my mom watches some of them if their exceptionally good. Besides, my family has a lot of quirks, having lived in so many countries.

well, my parents don't really even care about me...so, they don't really care about my love of anime...so long that I'm not asking for money to buy anime or anything anime related

That is sad that you feel your parents don't care about you Takobo san. However, I believe there will be a way they give you attention. Unless they won't even fed you.... (sorry if I sounded rude)

However, my parents support me enough. My mom even watched Naruto with me. She also ask why luffy is so ugly,, he got big heart! ^_^'

My mum is a big fan of manga and anime (she badgered my dad to spare a corner to put shelves filled with manga), so no problem for me. My dad is the only one in the family that is slightly disapproved of manga and anime, but since it is 4 (me, my 2 bros and mum) against 1, he is also quite fine/adjusted wif it...:P

Well, my mom and dad supports me cause they know its
one of the big assets that makes me happy without spending
too much like in shopping. *i dont shop for clothes, i shop for manga*
so yeah. ^^

Totally. They know it and they don't care about it ^_^' . Besides, I also read lots of books and novels

Not really. When I show them a new picture I've drawn of an anime character they don't do anything. :( they want me to be into school activites.

They say it makes me stupid.

no..never...i remeber when i come home..and all my mangas(and anime movies..) were in the garbage..and i wasnt allowed to get them back..i was so sad..and i spend for them so much money... she says that they make mwe stupid2... and i should concentrate more into school and not into childish shows....


but now i have a bf..and i´m living with him..and he also likes manga+anime..and that is very good^^ coz now i have my books and no one will throw them away again!

Nope, they say its a waste. My mom says it is an "expensive" hobby (well it is). Plus, my parents dont even reconize the difference between each anime. They can probally only tell the difference of Pokemon XD

my parents dont but they try to be supportive but their hate for it still shines through i try very hard not to let it bother me and once in awhile i have to remind them that this is what i like and you dont have to like it because its just like their likes i dont like what they like and they know but i try hard now to descourage them like they try not to discourage me

@straw lool almost same as my mother_._ think everything is the same.. and when i watched jon roh with her she only says "oh how unrealistic"

well..my mom...dose;t care...my father..i really donno..some times he even watch anime whit me {anime like ghost in the shell , macross 0 }, but some times he makes fun of me...more like a frendly joke...he has no prob whit anime!
ja!

My parents don't really know about it, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind one bit :)

Mine don't really know either. To them, all anime is "Sailor Moon". Every. Single. Anime. So they just think I'm super obessed with sailor moon or something.

My parents supported it. In fact my pop paid for subscription of Shonen Magazine and Shonen Sunday weekly comic books until I got my own job to pay.

my parents don't care. they have what they like and i have what i like. they have things that makes them happy and i have things that makes me happy. and the circle continues...

well i dont know,

its my money so i can spend it whatever i want..

When I was in America with my dad he spent $200 on manga books for me (yep, he's rich, but I'm not :) ) he said if it makes me happy then it's ok.
But my step-dad.... he makes fun of me listening to japanese music... he calls it rubbish. so I call his stuff rubbish. then he gets mad ^_^'
