Hmm... I disagree with parents being unable to understand.
It`s not really a parent issue.

It`s an issue of people not being able to understand something they aren`t interested in, period. It`s life. There are hundreds upon thousands of interests and hobbies out there... Not all of them are going to interest everyone. Your parents don`t "get it" simply because it isn`t something that interests them. I`m sure they have interests or hobbies which make no sense to you - but you probably can`t think of many off the top of your head because, well, they simply don`t interest you.

I have quite a few interests which most people couldn`t care less about. And tons of people around me have interests which I find downright laughable. It`s just part of living and coming into contact with other human beings. No matter how much effort is put into "convincing" someone, if they don`t care it`s going to be an effort in futility.
