+jacob501 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 It goes both ways......my daughters don't care for it either. Yeah, but obviously that hasn't stopped you from finding over 7000 caches! I have only found 56...and those were on rare occasions! Quote Link to comment

+jacob501 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 I think I'm just going to walk out of the house while my parents aren't looking and go find a few geocaches! Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I think I'm just going to walk out of the house while my parents aren't looking and go find a few geocaches! Personally, I don't think you should 'sneak' out while your parents aren't paying attention. 1) It certainly will not build trust... 2) That type action will ONLY alienate them to geocaching all the more... How 'bout DEALING with the problem? Dialog solves most problems -- at least it gives opportunity for compromise. Quote Link to comment

+webscouter. Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Jacob, Show your parents how much you can learn from geocaching. You have already done some history in the Fuquay series. You have done chemistry with the Ivy League dolphin. You are building your communication skills and interpersonal skills on the forums. This will help you out in life with job skills. You are learning critical thinking skills in your searches and learning problem solving skills not only in the search for caches but in the ways to earn money for a new gps. It is a great way to keep yourself occupied and keeping young teens occupied helps keep you out of trouble. It can be great exercise (I saw that you ride your bike to caches with your mom) so it will help keep you healthy and strong. Try to show your parents that it is teaching you life skills that will serve you in life, not just the fun parts of the game. Just having a well thought out discussion about the sport is going to show them that caching is helping your growth towards being a asset to society and a well rounded young man. No parent can argue against helping you become a good man. Quote Link to comment
Night_Hiker Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 they should be happy you've found something constructive to do with ur time instead of vandalizing things and what not. Dont give up the game Quote Link to comment
+A & J Tooling Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Whatever you do, don't sneak out. You'll never regain their full trust. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I would love to have your parents come online so we can remind them of how important it is to spend quality time with their children while the children still want to do things with their parents. Quote Link to comment
