>>20656286I always fail to understand how there can be parents out there who give two shits about what their kids are into and criticize them when they fail to understand those interests.
I consider my relationship with my parents to be pretty good. It's not great, since I voluntarily try to keep my distance as I dislike the idea of feeling like I depend on them too much, but we still get along very well. I like so many things that aren't really common, but they just don't care. They leave me be with the things I like and so do I with their interests.
I bet if I told them I like Pokemon, they'd be surprised at first since they probably don't even know that, at least not for sure. And I'm fine with it being that way.
