I don't have much to add more than a comment from my own experience. In the
case of my parents, they viewed anything that got me away from video games and
TV as a good thing. However, in recent years, especially now that I am
graduated from college and am looking for employment (and thus once again
living at home), my mother views my lego hobby as a mixed blessing, as in her
eyes my love for building and tinkering turns into obscession. Of course, as I
see it, if it needs building, it gets built! :) Save the photon torpdoes,
build at warp 10!
