They don't mind. In fact, they pay for me to play most of the time. They just don't agree with me trading guns and stuff.

My parents support me, they give me rides to the Field and local shop.
sometimes if my Dad is nice enough he would either buy me a case of paint or pay for field admission

They get mad sometimes cause paintball is high on my spending list, like over rent and food and stuff.

Well, they kinda do. They gave me a loan so i can get the Speed, but they wont let me play alot until i get it payed off. They say all the money has to go to them, but i still go. I have to pay for it, but once i get it all payed off they should be supporting me alot more.

Yeah my parents support me 100%. They bought me my first gun then i bought all the ones after that including my new a4. They just know that paintball is my life and thats what i want to do with my life. And i am very thankfull for that.

My Dad loves it but, my Mom dont really like it alot but she lets me go when i want too. The only downside is that she doesnt pay for any of my equipment. She said the only way she will buy me stuff is if i work around the house for her which it good i guess.

My mom supports me but not money wise. Both my parents laf at me when i come home with welts. They think im dumb though for spending 99% of my money on paintball

The only way to get out of that is this: get so good your dad starts to hate playing against you. So then you guys start going to fields cuase u will own him with a spyder with a 45 round hopper :) when he has a timmy :)

my dad hates paintball and never approves of me spending money on it. as for my mom, she doesnt really care. still, i receive no financial aide, and i pay for everything, that is why i dont have a high end marker even though i have been playing for 4 years. i am currently saving for a new gun, a timmy or angel, cant decide, any suggestions?
