Not all parents are like that, my family relies on me when it has to deal with computers. My parents are proud on me for what I do, however they don't know I'm busy with security, but they do know I'm capable of programming/designing websites/network and system configuration. But maybe that's because my dad has been the head of IT for a while where he works, so he knows more of it then the average person. He even took me with him to work once(wich is not allowed) and introduced me to all the IT guys.
