My parents like my playing DDR and are wowed when I show them a 7-8 footer so they're like "Oh, wow, Cyndi you're good!" and I just stop and look at them like this

and my brother comes on and tries to freestyle but can't and ends up laying down on the mat and rolling around

it's fun. I'm sorry to hear about your parents, though. Give 'em time

My mother thinks its great that I have something I'm interested in, however, my dad thinks that I should be doing "real sports" instead..though deep down I don't think he really cares either way. : )

My dad doesn't mind when I play DDR. My mom was okay with me playing DDR at first, but that seems to have changed over the past few months. I think DDR in her perspective has changed from a form of exercise to just another mind-rotting video game.

The reason I say that is that she yells at me when I play for more than an hour, but doesn't tell me why it's a bad thing. She always says something along the lines of "you don't need to be playing DDR". Sometimes she says I need to be working or something, but I generally put my schoolwork first and don't play until it's mostly or completely done. If anything, DDR has helped me with my time management because I have an incentive to do my work more efficiently so I can play DDR.

After trying a song once on beginner, she came to the conclusion that she would never be able to be good at DDR, and that all the steps are just random and are unrelated to the music.

And she hates it when I spend time on this site. I think she imagines all of you guys as a bunch of shut-in nerds with no lives and no interests other than the stupid arrow game.

So anyway, my mom doesn't like DDR a whole lot, but I don't know why. I don't know if she knows why. All I can do is wonder. And then play DDR after she goes to bed.

So um, is it bad that awhile ago I was watching Family Guy, and when Quagmire came on, I thought something to the effect of "Whoa, It's AA Bob!" (I don't remember if the exact thought was "It's AA Bob" or "It's AA Bob's avatar", but I don't think it matters in this case)?

My mom totally minds when I play cause it annoys her so I barely play at all.

A lot of you guys have awfully judgmental parents.

I live in a separate home from my parent's home, so they don't seem to be affected too much

They don't understand how I sweat so much after such a short period of time. Then they see what I'm actually doing, and seem to understand a bit better

i think my mom thinks my obsession with DDR is very strange. Then i tried to teach her how to play, and she wasnt bad, but when i got Stepmania it was a whole different story. she gets all mad when i play stepmania for like an hour straight, or when i go to the mall to go play ddr and spend like $20. and i have no clue what my dad thinks of ddr. he probably feels the same way.

I would say that if you like Naruto, I would monitor your behavior too.

My parents really don't care. It's something I like to do, so they don't care. They do think I play it a little too much when I'm at the arcade

but at least they arn't restricting.
