• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Do your parents know you're on here?

No, they don't. My mom just doesn't get the whole idea of having friends online ("but what's the point, really, if you don't know they're who they say they are?"), so I pretty much don't tell her or my dad.

My mum knows I come here, I even tell her about the forums I visit sometimes when we run out of topics of conversation.

Though if she read some of the posts I made I'd be in pretty deep shit :V

My situation's nearly the same as this. My dad probably doesn't even know what a forum is, though...
 
Naw, not yet. Since I just joined. My dad will probably find out sooner or later, since he has a habit of walking behind me whenever I am on the computer. I never actually tell them but my Dad figures it out on his own. My Mom only knows that I talk to one of the people that goes here on AIM. 0-o
 
My parents say that I'm the only kid on the Internet at everyone else is pretending to be my age and is really an evil rapist.
 
*amused by above post*

Yeah, both my parents know, but they don't care because they hear the word "Pokemon" and before you can move on to the "forum" part, they've dismissed whatever you're saying as utter crap. Which is sort of insulting, but hey, at least I don't get bothered about it. I think for my dad in particular forum = chatroom = rape, so maybe it's best that he doesn't properly realise that I'm here. My younger sister knows all about tCoD, though, because I mention threads and people here a lot to her. Mainly because I don't talk to anyone else about it, so I think she finds it vaguely irritating. x3 She's interested sometimes.

They probably wouldn't mind about the swearing, but swearing in my famiily is just stupid. XD For example, my sister will swear in front of me but not my parents, my mum will swear in front of me but not in front of my sister or dad, dad swears at work and with mates or whatever but never in front of us, and I'll swear in front of anyone (usually because I've dropped something heavy on my foot or something equally intelligent). It's laaaame.

Er, on topic: yes, they know but don't care. They didn't know for the few couple of years I was here, though. And the PC is in my bedroom so I'm free~ ish.
 
Both my parents know and some of my best friends know, but they don't really care. I even talk about my friends here :3

My mom does that, too! She thinks everyone one the internet is evil, and all the sites contain some sort virus or another. And she doesn't like giving out addresses, phone numbers, photos and such to other anonymous people. Even though she does that all the time. She'd kill me if she finds out that I actually have a life and friends on the internet.

My little brother knows about it though. He's kinda obsessed with Dannichu and Butterfree (caught me looking at art threads too many times). Although he's too young to care.
 
My mom knows I'm on here.. she really doesn't care as long as I don't do anything stupid. I've mentioned it and quoted people a few times, too.

"Hey, look, there's a person on the Pokemon forum whose name is 'Involuntary Twitch'..."

You have no idea how much that sounds like my mother. She doesn't know what a forum is, but if she knew, she wouldn't like it. Her reasoning for saying "no" to almost everything I ask to do (hang out with friends, go to a corner store by myself, etc.) is almost always because "you'll get raped".
 
Yes, my mom thinks that too. That everyone on the internet is an evil rapist/axemurderer. (And she freaks out when I try to go out past 7:00 PM. Quite overprotective.) The media influences her TOO much. And I'd probably be dead if she saw some of the posts I make on here. SO glad she can't use a computer. Technology is like bane to her, she stays away from my computer and does not touch it unless she's cleaning.
 
My mom thinks that way too. Everyone is after me trying to kill or rape me. But I say I'm doing something else. So I don't get in trouble. And I flip the screen.
 
No, but my Dad probably wouldn't care about it at all. Although my Mom would probably give me that "shouldn't you grow up sometime and stop playing Pokaymahn?" talk.
 
I got in trouble when I was ten for being on a pokemon forum because there was too much swearing, but after that... they don't really care. They look through my browsing history occasionally (mostly because they're paranoid and think I watch porn) and know I like pokemon so if I say it's a pokemon site they ignore it, basically.
 
Both of my parents know I'm on here, they don't really care either. They also know that I talk to people online and they kinda encourage it in a way. They think it's pretty awesome that I get talk to people from different places. x3;

In fact, my sister and I almost met someone from TCoDf and my parents were okay with it. o:
 
Yeah. It'd be a little hard for them not to figure it out even if I didn't tell them. My comp. is at the far corner of the den (Or at least as far as this tiny den goes), and the couch by the two computers my parents are usually on are in the back. They can easily glance over and see what I'm doing... >>;

Dad sometimes listens, but the 'Poke-EE-mon' part gets in the way, like with Kinova's parents. Mom listens, however, because she wants to know the kind of people I hang out with. And I'm fine with that.

At the moment, they probably don't know I'm online. It's 6am over here and they're still asleep! I got up early (For my standards) just to go on TCoD... X3
 
Hm, I doubt my parent's know I'm on here specifically. My Mum has occasionally come down and read the main page of Butterfree's site, because I just happened to be looking at it when she came down to ask what I wanted from the fish and chip shop that evening.

She knows I probably do interact with other people on the internet, but I think we keep it secret from each other, despite the fact I know that she knows I'm interacting with people online. She just doesn't know how.

My dad is just oblivious to what goes on in my life whenever it doesn't concern him. I try to keep him out as much as possible anyway, for many reasons.

So yeah, they know I use the internet for Pokémon, they just don't know about TCoDf.
