I get grounded for a month cuz i tried playing destiny at 3 am

Was it worth it, no...., will i do it again, probably; the reason it was for a month was cuz i did it another time which was the day the taken king came out, so it sucked when she barged in my room and immediately grounded me for a month but knowing she was mad, i knew she would make it 2 weeks. So idk what I was thinking still but i played again the day after & the day after that which pissed off my mom to the point where she gave me 3 days with grounding, i accepted that. After about a week i start setting my alarm at 2:30 am & 3:00 am to wake me up and play before I go to school, I cant play during the weekdays so this was my only way to play unless I wanted to wait until Friday each week....so anyways, up until now i haven't been caught. Funny thing that happened was that I woke up at 3 again (today) & as I was turning on my console & starting a mission, I had to take a piss so i sneak out of the room like a ninja (cuz im so good at that, *cough* *cough*; no i ain't) then i start hearing movement coming from my parents' room. I finish taking a piss and so i stand by my room & i realize i can hear the hum of the console from the room & i immediately thought (*dam, this is so easy to hear, ima have to move my console next time, i dont feel like moving it cuz then I'd have to turn the console on and wait for destiny to load*) so I went in my room & locked it, turned on the tv (cuz i turned it off when I went to take a piss) and then the knocks of doom and the screams of grounding came to my door and as I turned the console off & pretended to act as I've been sleeping, i opened the door & wham she just said, "ur grounded for a month, i heard it", immediately thought (*i shouldve fkin listened to my gut feeling about moving the console*) now if u read this whole story congratulate you, now the whole reason i posted this was ask the destiny community, do u think it was worth it? I'm a senior with decent grades, I was brought up playing video games starting with the Nintendo 64, my mom knows i love to play video games, yet whenever I want to play she's always restricting me to an hour (normally i ignore the fact that she just gave me an hour & play till she says no more; since I consider it inhuman, sometimes I get lucky with 2-3 hours. & this is on weekends only) cuz as I said previously i cant ever play on the weekdays. I heard of all ppl playing for longer & for each day, do u think i should leave the house & become like squidward & ask for "spare change" & move out of the house. Nah jk thats a "full retard"ed idea just like never going full titan, maybe I should kill my parents & play destiny to my hearts content until police find out like i heard on the news one time. One things for sure, if my mom restricts me after i graduate, I swear to god im movin my ass to another city & renting an apartment. P.S. I commend u if u read this whole shit of a story, so ima ask it again, Do u think it was worth it? What should i do when trials comes out....Should I continue abiding by my moms rule of balancing thing when i go to school for 7 hours, do work for more than half that time, get home, do hw for another 3 hours, eat, sleep, then repeat for 4 days, then on Friday-Sunday play about 1-3 hours each day. Edit: i made paragraphs, r u English teachers happy? Edit: I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS IN ENGLISH CLASS AGAIN, LET ME CLARIFY, I'LL TRY HARDER TO WRITE LIKE A PROPER PERSON SHOULD WHEN I'M TYPING A STORY Edit: to answer some of the same questions, I had gotten the console as a present from my aunt but it recently broke and so my mother bought it again for a cheap price, so it's not like i can just take it away Edit: almost 500 posts, i gotta admit, these types of topics gets more attention than topics about the game....

  • Haha. I mean, she is your mom. When I was in high school, my dad didn't let us play games at all. My mom did. So me and my brothers did a lot of sneaking and playing. But nothing you can do about it lol

    • Sometimes i stay up late playing destiny. I lock the door and cover the parts of the door that reveal light. I use a mic to listen to the game. I think recently they found out. I've been laying low. Btw my ps4 is hidden, you can still hear if you're in the room. When I hear someone I turn it off, go to the playstation app, go to rest mode, and wait till they leave to turn it off and sleep.

      • Waking up at 3 am is bizarre. It does sound like your mom needs something important to worry about; unless she had a direct complaint about your grades. What would she rather you do during the week? If you get your work done, what is the problem?

        Dayum a senior and they still ground you? Well when you are finally free don't go too crazy with all your new found freedom, that's how you -blam!- things up man. Do things in moderation, you can stay up for days playing video games of you want but as long as it doesn't mess with work,class or whatever you wanna do after you graduate.

            Good story, I enjoyed reading it. Don't listen to everyone who's commenting on your paragraphs. There are two types of people in this world, creative and analytical. This is why authors use editors to fix their grammer. I understand where you're coming from, I got in trouble for the same stuff when I was in High School, except instead of Destiny I was waking up to play Ocarina Of Time. I would recommend talking with your parents. They might give you more freedom of you agree to getting up on your own for school and on time, not letting it effect your grades and not taking afternoon naps. If you could do that in exchange for playing Destiny you at 3 am they might work with you.

              • I used to do this lmao. Never was grounded for a month though. My parents just took the controller from me and hid it until the weekend, where I could play as much as I want.

                    • Lol you shouldn't be getting grounded at that age, I really don't recommend waking up that early for sleep and practical purposes. Don't devote your life to this game, study hard for 1 more year and then do whatever you want...

                      I would try to explain this dilemma to your parents and reason with them. If you're doing well in school, perhaps this isn't a problem for you. If they don't understand, don't do it until you either move out or graduate. I know that sucks :( but destiny is not worth family problems.

                    • To muffle the console hum put a towel or blanket by the crack under your door. That may help. Also yes I think its worth it to wake up to play a little before school.

                          Go out, get arrested, do drugs, get a tattoo on your neck, run away for a few days, join a gang, break into a few cars, steal some stuff from the store...... Then say, "I guess you wanted me to be out on the streets instead of sitting safely at home playing Xbox." Edit: just thought about when I used to get caught in the middle of the night...but it was usually because I snuck a girl in my room. Lol

                          • Well. I think it's a bit overkill. But she is your mom. Gotta abide by mom law. Especially. ESPECIALLY. When you live and eat in her home. And. When you still go to High School. [spoiler]but all in all you should probably try showing her that you are an adult. Adults treat other adults like adults because we adult. Git it? [/spoiler] [spoiler]just start taking care of your responsibilities and shoe her that you can balance as much Vidya games and school and family as you want[/spoiler]
