I'm 24 years old but still lives with my mother and step father due to being a student and appartments being very expensive here. For a few months now, I've been putting more interest into model railroading, only reading and getting informed so far, as I don't have the money nor the space for a layout yet. What saddens me is that since model railroading is not something that my parents are interested in, they can't help but constantly 'spit' on it and saying that it's only a waste of time for me to get interested in the hobby now, since I can't build a layout just yet. My mother even started to tell me that I will never be any good with power tools and that the day I want to build a layout I'll have to pay someone to do it [:(][V] No matter what I try to say, they always complain that it's all only a waste of money, that I'll just get hurt when using power tools and whatnot. They even told me there were hating model railroading because I like it so much [xx(] I just don't know what to do anymore, they complain I don't talk to them about the things I like, but when I do they say I'm stupid for liking certain things. They criticize me when I spend time on the computer, when I watch TV, when I read, because they say I don't get out enough, but when I do get out, they complain that I'm not there to do house work (which I do when I'm at home anyway).....
