And this ones one of the least serious ones ever..
(gee I think I'm gonna get a lot of flaming for this but what the heck, why else is there an ignore function?!!)
Anyway, I was thinking about buying a CareBears doll from ToysRUs sometime next week, seeing that I've been quite obsessed with this stuff recently (oh boy, this is the part where all the flaming starts :rolleyes2: ), only later to have my parents have a strange reaction. They were critisizing me because they thought CareBears dolls were for under 6 year olds.
And I was really surprised that they would react like this. I had a long history of buying Power Rangers action figures and not got a single critisism, and buying CareBears dolls is really no different to buying Power Rangers (seeing that Power Rangers is a kids show too). They even know I buy Tokusatsu DVDs from Japan (I'd bloody hope they're not thinking Jetman is some dumbass J-Drama series or something).
So, to get to the point, I was wondering if anybody else here get similar critisisms from their parents, about doing stuff they think you're too old for? Do they tell you that Power Rangers and Tokusatsu or other similar shows is for kids and that you should watch some thing (according to them) "more adult"?
(lets hope this thread won't turn into a flame war :sweat: )
