Question: why do parents always see your hobby as “wasting time”?

Mothers out there, the truth is; not all your son’s will be great at sports, so we won’t always be out ‘with the gang’ doing something
..but we still have to find ways to occupy ourselves.

I find it so annoying that every time I get into something my mom always tells me to slow down. first she used to bag on my drawing,

now, I’m experimenting with model building

for reference as to what this is >http://www.robot-japan.com/Gundam-Robot/gundam/w/XXXG-00W0.html

now she tells me, “you bound to be building toys then”

geez

I’m still young 17, and I’m not some fat slob, i got a gym downstairs and use it 3 times a week.

You know it amazes me how mothers get fearful so quickly the moment you mention some girl’s name, yet when you start working on something like a larger drawing , or a model, they start complaining that you’re “wasting time”

Answer: My son (13) and husband (56) are BOTH avid model makers, and make scale model tanks, aircraft, Warhammer people (mostly the 13 YO!), and other stuff… We even kitted out our new conservatory a couple of years back with hobby space for them to make models and store all the modeling kits, tools, and paraphanalia, as well as cutting space for me to cut garments.

They also walk the hills. My son swims and plays rugby. He’s not really interested in any particular girls yet.

Nowt wrong with model making, lad. You go for it! If you want some justification, other than the usual guff about it keeping you out of trouble (it doesn’t, believe me! You probably know EXACTLY how to get glue and/or paint in the wrong place and get into trouble in one small, neatly executed move!), then start burbling about how it helps with fine motor control, concentration, research and design skills, materials specification (gotta have the right stuff for the job!), and project planning and costing…

My hobby? Rebuilding old sewing machines, My work involves using them. Maybe I’m sympathetic because I come from an engineering family on my mother’s side, and married an engineer!

Question: What should the characters in The Great Gatsby have as their favorite books?

I have an assignment in my American Lit class where we have to make yearbook pages for Nick, Jordan, Tom, Daisy, Gatsby, Myrtle, George, and Wolfsheim. One of the sections is favorite book. I just can’t think of appropriate books. Other section ideas would be cool too. The other sections are senior quote, fav. song, clubs/organizations, hobbies, scholarships and awards, most likely to…, and senior awards (class clown, cutest couple, etc.). Any help would be appreciated.

Answer: im doing the same thing. but i dunno. maybe daisy would read like jerry spring books.

Question: For me, fashion design is a hobby, how do I make it more?

I love designing clothes…as a hobby along with acting. Right now acting is just a “side job” and I’d really like to focus on design. Are there any websites, e-mail addresses or helpful tips you can give me on making my line real?

What I DON’T need:
1. Don’t say fashion is a potential catfight career, I REALLy do NOT care in the slightest.
2. Don’t give me stupid answers…I want something real, something that can be backed up.
3. Cut to the chase. Please. You guys are helping make my dreams a reality!

Thanks to ALL soooooooo much!

Answer: hey sweeti. thats so awsome try going to like walmart or soemthing and buying a sketch book or something and take all your designs and put them in a portfolio try taking some pices of fabric and putting them on there so when you present your things they can see what type of fabric you are looking for.

is there any local modeling places around. around here there is john casablanca’s modeling and they have desing things there you can maybe take you portfolio with you and they can set up an interview with you and work something out

im sure you’ll find a way to make your dreams cometrue your a very determined girl and people will notice that.

good luck :D

Question: What’s a good solo hobby to keep me in shape?

What can i obsess over that’ll get me in shape? I need something that I can practice on my own. When I was younger I loved to skateboard but it’d be a bit odd if i did that now. I’d prefer something that I could do in private but still be able to “show off” (like breakdancing I guess.)

Answer: I know this may sound a bit too girly and shallow but shopping helped me loose weight without me even realizing it. You wont even notice you’ve walked about 5 km in an hour. That’s if you love shopping. This might not be applicable to most men.

Question: I want my little girl to be GOOD at something – what can I start her on?

OK I always regret that my parents never pushed me to get a talent or hobby or skill or something. I am a jack of all trades but not really GOOD at anything. Now my little girl is 3. She is just a regular toddler – she does talk very well for her age apparently and tells good stories etc. Well I wanted her to learn something. Like piano or something. I do not have much money though. What would you suggest?

A lot of these famous people like tiger woods, the williams sisters etc started training when they were like 3 or 4 years old. I do not want her to be a superstar but I want her to be able to be proud that she has a talent.

I know talent is sometimes just a natural gift but I think in many cases talent can DEVELOP from putting time and effort into something. Not forcing but just encouraging her.
Thanks for all the answers. I will not choose a best answer because there were many thoughtful responses.

Answer: Ask her about what she’s interested in. If she’s a good story-teller, nurture it and help her get better at it. Don’t force her into things she’s not interested in. There would be no point in learning if she doesn’t enjoy it. Just help her get her way through school so that when she gets older, she’ll know how to do her job when she gets older. As she gets older, ask her things about how was school. You might learn something about her that she likes.
