My parents were highly supportive of my siblings and me learning to play music. Sent us for piano and guitar lessons. Was in the primary and secondary school band as well. My dad sponsored me half my present drumset.
Pity though, I don't have that much an interest for guitar as I have for drums; It's picking up though!
Got a bass, both a classical and an acoustic guitar, an upright piano, a synthesizer and a drumset at home. Heh.
My mom, especially. She'd go out of her way to ensure we had minimal trouble going for lessons, and she would buy us nice meals after our respective lessons. Too bad she ain't around no more.
And my dad's explanation for all these: They were deprived of all these luxuries when they were younger so they swore not to let us, their children, suffer the same fate. My parents are way cool. Love them to bits. Would trade them for a Portnoy kit any time though. HAHAHA JOKIN'!

I'm pretty sure parents have a lot of expectations.
Parents, as parents, will worry a lot for their children. They want their children to succeed and be successful, live a stable life and not to see them suffer like they did.
They always want the best from us and that's all they really wanna see. Not for us to be miserable.
And at it, they might scold you, smash your guitar and burn it to hell, really hate you doing this guitar music nonsense or whatever they can call it sometimes, ask you to focus on your studies, think about your future, tell you there's no hope in music,.. on and on like there's no tomorrow.
That just means they care.
If you really dream of one day going to the biggest stage, then go for it. Noone's stopping you but make a point that you WILL make it there.
But the journey doesn't end there. That's why, as a band, you've gotta have goals. Always imroving and upgrading yourself and not stay stagnant and hope for the best to come rolling in.
It will never roll in if you don't dream and set goals for yourself. And make sure no matter how hard it maybe, never give up on that dream. You'll go a very long way.

My parents aren't supportive, but neither are they objective.
They just want me to do well in school and they see this whole musician thing as a hobby.
But if you wanna talk relationship wise, my father's a total asshole. He's the typical tyrant in the house that you can't talk sense to.
All in all I think I'm a really lucky guy to have a loving and supportive mom at least.

This thread has been inactive for a while but I just stumbled across it.
I am much older than most of you and when I was younger I was always interested in everything except studies. TOO BORING for a sporty, hotshot good looking guy. Well the sports are gone now and so have the looks
but thats another story.
Now, looking back on my life I cannot thank my stars enough that I had parents who nagged me to study. At least the nagging made me realize, even if it was 1% of the total make up, to give study a fair shot. And I did make something out of myself eventually. I learnt some skills that feed and clothe me and my own Family now. Nothing lavish but comfortable.
Take Tiger Woods for example. The most talented person in his field. BUT he is also very good with his money, image, relationships. I believe a basic education gives a person these simple qualities. The ability to balance a bank account and to plan and achieve things step by step. I am sure you would want to have these skills whether you become Stars or not (and I wish you do realize your dreams and become stars).
My kids are too young now and they are not embarassed to give me HUGE hugs whenever they see me (even if I have only been away 2 hours). I hope they will never stop hugging me and showing how much they love me. Even if it is not so openly when they are older like you
I agree completely that parents do not have to be rude or distant when their kids dont listen to them straight away. But unfortunately older people have our own bugs too. An unreasonable boss, a business gone bad, disappointments, deserved opportunities passing by as we grow older etc etc. The last thing a Normal parent wants is to see all this happen to our own kids 20 years down the road We want you to be so good at whatever you do that life is easier on you all. Not realistic, not idealistic, doesn't stand for improving humanity a bit, but a reasonable Wish wouldn't you agree.
Talk to your parents - you are probably smarter and know how to approach them better than they do! Be young and enjoy life. Worry about future and becoming musicians or professionals or bankers or doctors later. Your talents will take you where you want to go:-D
Good Luck and Cheers.
