Uh Oh

[pbhippie ben]

My parents think i think about paintball to much. This might be pretty bad for me. We had a big argument about it last night.

[Spinach]

:rolleyes:

[amzng_spyderman]

nobody likes a whiner. especially a whiner with a dm4.

[pbhippie ben]

I dont mean to whine. I just want to see if anyone else is having problems with their parents like this. If im going to get flamed might as well close the thread. I dont want to start any problems.

[Spinach]

My parents have no problem with it because I only go about 6/7 times a year and I pay for it everytime.

[Infiltrator]

Oh no! Change the subject.

[pbhippie ben]

Ya, maybe we should just change the subject, :D.

My thread is a bust:|

[GranDream]

It's a shame that your parents think that, you should take them with you some day, then they'll understand!!!

[pbhippie ben]

They've both been to the field. My dad has even played.

[thunderpig]

That sucksors the big one, one, one, one...

[Spinach]

Maybe its because so much money is going down the drain, think about it thats a lot of money one of the reasons I pursued another hobbie thats not so expensive and equally fun.

[Downfall08]

yea i'd say spinach is right. They probably think that your spending too much money on paintball and that your wasting it. Afterall, you do have a dm4 :)

[LAMANTEthePBguy]

Just give them the ol' "at least I'm not thinking about crack" line.

[Golster]

Who the hell thinks about crack?

Hmm, who payed for the DM4?

If your parents had any involvement in the funds for your paintball experiences, then they should be able to have an opinion.

Which is what it really seems like, an opinion. Do they not want you to play or did they just give their opinion?


My parents don't have a problem with it, maybe because I'm 20? Still, I realized that with college and a job, paintball isn't really something I can do. I don't have a job now, but really need one. Most jobs that are not full time need people on the weekends. So basically, no paintball till' about the 26th.:|

Ezpecially a 12 year old with a dm4, a phantom, and several other guns including an a-5 and spyders.

[pbhippie ben]

I dont have any spyders,im sellin the a-5's, paid for the phantom, dm4 came ot of bar mitzvah money.

[Golster]

So what did you pay for? That $3 nitro fill?

[OWNAGE]

he has/had an a-bomb timmy also

[quietkiller88]

Does he really have all those guns? Thats frickin crazy.

[KDD2008]

a5'S??? as in plural in more than one a-5??why would u need more than one a-5?? i think your parents are probably correct.

Eh...

Shot them. They're fast and all, but unless it's Tadao'd, it's not really worth it in my eyes. I'd rather drop 720 on a brandy new vision shocker and then Tadao that. Lighter and just as fast. And small....perfect for a frontman.

DM4's are nice and all, and my teammate's DM4 rips to no end, but just not my style.

heres how it works;

Parents: God your too much involved in that paintball sport, you put too much money and care intoi that sport.

You: How about them Yankees? The play a pretty mean baseball game.

Worst part is i had a bar mitvzah and the money i was given was used to pay for my party. I left with $200 :(

[can'tthink of1]

You guys are harsh. You guys just rant at him because you are unhappy that you can't have a dm4...

Hell, I'm giving up paintball to fund a car, and I'm saving for a Cyborg setup...

I am athiest, and to me, I believe I only have one life on this earth, so I might as well live life having fun and not screwign myself or others, also not screwing myself in the long run.

Just go out and have fun, and come back with a smile saying you had a ton of fun, and they will think nothing of it in time.

[slushii]

My parents think the same thing. And I have even payed for all my stuff with working money. Not money handed to me. (Not saying getting handed money is bad...I wish I was handed money :) ) Good luck with your dm4 and ball it up.

[nos911]

Meh, I'm not going to rant on him. The kid took advantage of an oppurtunity that presented itself. What would you do if you were in his position?

[pb wing.]

whatever
if you have a Dm4 and your parents bout it for you, and think this is just too much money to spend, then lay off for awhile.
i don't go paint balling every week.
i paintballed only once this last summer. i ended up spending $39 for that one day.
i say thats allot.
if you don't think that paintballs allot of money, then you really need to know something.

give your parents a break. i wont to go paint balling.
but i have only gone 3 times.
i have a full set up, and im just getting to know all the bells and wisels for this sport.
you have too many guns. i have a spyder imagine. all those guns, and your still asking for more.

so my advice, LAY OFF.

[phlanax13]

Tell your parent to STFU espcally since you pay for it not them... It's what I would have done anwyay. :laugh:

Just go out and have fun, and come back with a smile saying you had a ton of fun, and they will think nothing of it in time. That sort of irresponsibility is the direct result of the fact that you were born in 1988. In the real world, wasting a lot of fat cash on "fun" is absolutely retarded. Paintball is expensive and if you don't have a consistant means to pay for it, it's very much a luxury and needs to be one of the first things you drop when you need to conserve money.

When you grow up and learn about things like, "Bills," and "Jobs," and "Opportunity Costs," you'll understand. You have one life to live, and there are a lot more reasons to save your money for other things (such as, say, living...) than there are to blow it all on paintball.

College= very little paintball:(

[Cliche]

I actually play more in college than I did in high school, but it's a funny situation (not paying for a car any more.)

[GranDream]

High school was a glorious time for paintball for me, I had a job and no car, so I had about $3500 in the bank, then college happened.

Notice how I said not screwing myself over in the long run.. I am very aware with my money, I never blow my money on stuff mk?

Hell, I'm dropping paintball to pay for a car, so how is that showing irresponsibility?

[STO Balla 22]

He's not asking for more, he just wants to be able to do something that he decided to spend his Bar Mitzvah money on, etc. If you had that much money to spend on a gift for Bar Mitzvah, I bet you would have done it too.
Jealous much?

Plus you are the first boy i have ever heard that was bar mitzvahed at 12 which makes believe it was a reform temple.

He has made all his money/markers in legitamate ways. He is not making his parents pay for his paint and stuff. You stfu and go back into your hole. The thread started with him saying his parents think he thinks about paintball. The thing is that soooo many pballers are obsessed with the sport too.

Also passing the swear filter is a bannable offence, if you want to be here much longer stop.

[I.A.O.A.B]

well, hippie gets a dm4 with bar mitzvah money. thats it, im converting to Judaism.

[BMFer]

As long as your grades are holding up, and you're not breaking your parents bank account, this really should not be an issue.
Make a deal with your parents about grades and spending limits. Tell them that if your grades drop then you will stop paintball until next mid-quarter, or next grades come out. Also, continue to save your money to use for pb. Or, work out a chores/allowance agreement with your parents to help fund pb.
And above all, FOLLOW THROUGH WITH YOUR SIDE OF THE DEAL. Don't whine to mommy when your grades slip and you have to quit pb for a while.
This will show your parents you care about the game and are responsible enough to accept the consequences.

[pbhippie ben]

This is definatley not about grades. School is easy. I realize why everyone is up tight. There is a lot of pressure on me and my family, now that my bar mitzvah is coming up.

My parent could give me 400 dollars a week and then I would then save it for 2 weeks and go buy some super gun and that would classify as "paying for it myself"

[can'tthink of1]

I think he is got the money early from relatives and such.

You guys get all pissy cause he has a nice marker. He is def not a noob, shown by the quality of his posts. Also if he is a noob he doesn't go around like a know-it-all noob.

He has a nice marker,

you don't,

that's life, suck it up.

Also he has never said his parents complained about the money, just that he obsesses with paintball, as many of us do.
