My dad has no interest in pinball but respects my love for it. Everybody has a hobby, and to disrespect or belittle a loved one's hobby is not cool. Hopefully this is not the case with your father. My dad recently told me and my siblings "Your mother and I made the decision to have children and so we owe you kids everything, but you kids made no such decision to have parents and so you owe us nothing. But when it comes to your children, just remember, you made the decision to have them and therefore owe that child everything.
