When you have to sell all your guns quit playing that's when you can start blaming paintball for the bad things in your life....

My wife used to complain about me playing paintball... I solved that problem
Of course... I hear she's getting remarried this year, wonder if I should care

I can't really remember having any real problems with my Dad, hes cool with it. When he shows his buddies at work some pics of me playing, and they ask about my gear or why I would do that, he just replies "Hey, he may have spent a small fortune on his stuff, and playing, but he's not into drugs, or anything illegal, so for him its his fun." He has come out to watch from time to time as well.
My mom on the otherhand... well.. She never gave me a hard time, but she does have a thing against guns, and thinks that "if you want to go shoot people I should enlist in the ARMY" I just tell her, "Mom, I am Canadian... we have no army" She doesn't like that comment
In all serious though, speaking from experience, she is just looking out for you. Try this, sit her down and tell her that it's something you love to do, that its not a fad(it isn't, is it?
) and that you would appreciate her support. Go on to tell her exactly how the sport is played, in everyday terms, and even suggest that she come and watch. Eventually she will see that it is something you enjoy, and makes you happy. In the end parents are suckers for anything(legal) that makes their kids happy.

. ive got midterms next week though, so i think ill be taking a break.
as for her not letting you play paintball, first of all dont talk about paintball to her, and dont clean your gun or shoot it near her. secondly, tell her its your anti-drug . that should get your gun returned soon 
. if that doesnt work, get someone to hook you up with a dimebag and leave it in your pocket, on your dresser, etc.

He is the only one here that has the right idea. Your mom is mad because she doesn't understand. If you sit down and talk to her, you can help her see your point of view. I think she's a little...uh, jealous, maybe. I think she secretly wishes you'd spend some more time with her. I'd highly suggest taking her to a paintball game also, which would be, spending time together. Your mom loves you and does not want to ruin your life...just talk to her man....and come back and tell us all about it.

I had the same problem at first too. But then I got some friends into it and started playing with a friend of my parent's and his son. I bought my dad a gun for Christmas, and he's played before and liked it, so I think that problem's solved, and as for my mom, well...I told her that she never *****ed at me for wanting to golf or ski. Really though, the best solution is to get your parents or siblings into paintball. Strength in numbers and all that.

well i forgot to tell you about the time when me and a bunch of friends came to our paintball park. my mom was driving all of us and she had her book and decided to stay. she loves to watch it, "it's like all theese little army men running around" yea so she read all day. and my father says the same thing, at least it's not drugs. but i would never do that."Ah yes, I have one of the 32*rebels that I always take to big scenario games. It keeps the truck from rolling if I have to park on a hill." - automikeyComment

Okay...so you only have one option left.....get her to play Bwahhahha!!!

When I first got into the sport, my Grandparents were pretty cool about it. They asked a lot of questions and then my Grandfather got into it a little more and would always play with my Paintball guns when I'd let him. They took me all over to play at places (including Hole in the Wall which is 2.5 hours away) just to try out for a team, which I made, but got kicked off of because I beat the team captain. Anyways...yeah. They're awesome about it and are as stoked as I am for the team I'm starting up. I'm excited too!
Yo dude. (Started of the thread and kid above) You're addicted, face it. It's awesome and I'm glad you've resorted to paintball over anything else (ie: drugs) and maybe that'd help your mom understand it. Some parents don't understand, but just tell her how it makes you feel when you play (MOM! I FEEL HIGH WHEN I PLAY!) and junk like that...maybe she'll let you play with your toys again. Later brah! Congrats on that...
