Your parents and DDR...

[KyahRyorin]

[Jimizzle]

My parents don't mind it. They like the fact that its exercise. My dad laughs his buttocks off whenever he sees my little brother playing it because my little bro gets this really serious face on and gets really into it.

Both of them laughed their asses off first time they saw us playing it. Now I think I just kinda shock them.

I only play at the arcade, so my parents don't even know I play DDR, and probably have no idea what it even is! Which is a good thing.

I have all of the PS2 versions of DDR, and I play them whenever I feel like it. Anyway, my parents actually bought me some of the games and mats for playing! My parents completly support it. Yeah. Well. There ya go.

hahahaha well my parents are very accepting of DDR. My mom like's it cause it's excercising and my Dad has found some of the better aspects and when we first got it(he bought an Xbox, Ultramix 2, and a Ignition Pad) he ranted about how it helps rhythm and coordination. He made a serious sacrifice getting an Xbox because my brother sneaks in games all the time(were only allowed DDR on the console)

my parents are pretty cool with it. i've already proved to them that it's an excellent way to work out, cardio-wise. especially now that the weather is getting colder i prefer to stay indoors and get my heart pumping while enjoying a good dancing game. the only real thing they don't like is having to spend a lot of money on just this dancing game. that's why i'm trying to be very careful about which metal pad i would like to get. i've had bad experiences with soft/foam pads and i always had to return them to the store. i'm trying to look for a good metal pad that is durable, but at the same time won't break the bank. that's the only thing my parents are concerned about.

Well my parents were the ones that saw "some dance thing" in the store and they asked my brother and i if i wanted it and i said no. Then sometime later i went to my friend's house and he had UM2 so i played on beginner and i liked it so i told my dad and sometime later he got it for me (extreme ps2) So my parents and my friend is why im typing this right now.

Then at the end of the third school marking period i got good grades (all 90s and above as usual) so my dad bought me a redoctane ignition!

[wschmrdr]

my mother's alright with me playing. Heck she even got me some of the stuff for X-mas!

[GNOME_300]

Mom plays every once in a while when she comes with me to the arcade, thus, she likes DDR and has no problem with it

A piece of advice, you can be a little more secretive than you think. Learn how to get around your PCs restrictions, get a secondhand games console and play everything while your parents are out. Either that or ask them what they aim to achieve by limiting you like this.

But as it goes, you are a kid, theres not much you can do apart from stick it out and spend alot of time at your friends houses =)

my parents dont mind at all, in fact my mom thinks of taking it up later on to maintain her weight..lol.

My brother started playing recently. He's getting really good. He's progressing through the levels faster than I did at his age.

[Flazh]

At least theres not been some 13 year old little craptard that has claimed to save money by going from beginner to AAing MAX300 heavy in 2 weeks here yet (Damn I hate those lying little...)

Keep at it guys =D

My parents think its good excersise but dont really care. My mom never understood video games so she barely knows anything about it and my dad is just too busy to care (most of the time) I seriously could AAA LoM and he all he would say is "yeah thats great" Otherwise, my parents are all for it
