WARNING:I have bad grammar so just reply DAT GRAMMAR THO if you have a problem with it.
So I play Destiny of course and enjoy my time on Destiny especially this week with patch 2.0 up!Sadly my grandmother has been bugging me about me being addicted for many years and not giving me a break and allowing me to play Destiny because she believes im addicted.I was addicted to Halo when I was 6 I must admit and she took my Xbox 360 away from me a few years later.I got a PlayStation 3 at 2014 and enjoyed playing Destiny but my grandmother jumped in shortly after me getting one and got scared that I was gonna get addicted again.She told me I couldn't play it on the weekend's but never cared to talk to me about it or give some good explanation why.I started going to therapy for my addiction on Xbox and continue to go there because my grandma continues to think I'm addicted to Destiny.She made some points saying how I don't get off when I'm told to because I'm doing an activity when she tells me too and I expect her to respect what im doing and say something like 30 more minutes then turn it off but she just comes in my room and tells me to lock it off and when I say "I'm almost done grandma."she begins to yell at me just for saying those words.Her only real excuses that I can try my best to point out really are-
·School
·What she says go's
·You don't get off when I tell you too!
I try to talk to her about it but she doesn't care and is too ignorant to talk about games all she really is interested in are grades and I'm already doing good in school and she tells me to go pick up a book even though I'm not interested in reading books at home.So today I sat next to her and talked to her and she ignored me but I carried in talking for about 30 minutes until she actually cracked but all she said was the exact same thing she always says when I manage to get her to crack."Whatever I say go's."I talk to her saying that's unfair and not a very good decision.I'll just show you our conversation
Me:Grandma can we talk about the game and why I feel as its a good idea for me to play it throughout the week?Becau-
Grandma:(Cuts me off)NO!NO!NO!
Me:Why is you buggin?
Mom:You don't talk like that to your elders
Grandma:Exactly
Me:I was kidding but seriously grandma can we talk about it?
Grandma:No!We've spoken about this and I've said many time whatever I say go's!
Me:That's not good decision not to.give much reason on why you act like this to me Grandma.I just want to play my game throughout the weekend and I enjoy it but when I want to talk about it you just ignore me.
Grandma:You understand but I don't.
Me:That made no sense at all,you're basically telling me that you don't understand why I like it but I understand why I like it but because you don't understand I can't play it?
Grandma:(Ignores)
Me:Grandma I just want to enjoy my time and play my game and you think it wouldn't work because of school but I actually have a reason explaining why it would be a good idea!If you let me play my game I might just not be obseesed with playing it on the weekend's.You leave me without my game and I can't chill out and enjoy my time the way I would want to enjoy my time because I enjoy playing it.But I'm becoming obseesed with the game because of this and your just thinking about the bad things not the good ones so why don't you allow me to play it throughout the week so I won't be obsessed with it.You know since I know I can play it another day..
Grandma:I don't want you on that game at all because I said so.If you touch that game I will rip the cords out and throw it out the window.
Me:You're being too ignorant about this grandma.You should be a better guardian/parent and just compromise with me.
Mom:My head's hurting me because of you.All you keep talking about is the game
Me:Well since you're my mother you should be backing me up on this and understanding what im talking about!
Grandma:Just get out my face,I'm trying to watch TV
Me:You never let me have my own opinion!Why can't you just be reasonable and actually compromise with me?!
Grandma:Isn't this compromising?
Me:*Facepalm* No...
Grandma:Well this is the best you're gonna get
Me:I have a family of unreasonable assholes...*Runs into room*
My grandma called my father and I never really wanted to talk to my father cause he'll just kick my ass and the guy f*cking scares me sometimes.Saying that I'm worthless like my mother when I mess up something when he's angry.I talked to him and all he said was "No game on school days.Go on your phone or watch television end of discussion."So he didn't help at all and I just felt as if nothing that I say can change anything in the house.I remember when my aunt was the age I am now she gave her own opinion but I can't.I cried in frustration wishing I had a better guardian who can just compromise with me other then school but even with the game and can just respect me and respect the game even if you don't like it in a conversation
Well there it is,I had to let everything out and not let it out to my therapist since she isn't helping.By the way I live with my grandmother instead of living with my parents due to my parents domestic violence.

Although i understand the fact that you can't play on weekdays, i do not agree with her reasoning. I absolutely hate it when my parets say 'because i said so' even if its something im arguing against or not, if they give me an actual reason, i will respect it and try to find a solution for it and actualy try to find something that will make us both happy. This isn't possible with 'because i said so'

When u become a bum and can't pay for Xbox/psn u will wish u didn't play Xbox so much

12 AntwortenListen to your grandma. You're just a kid and you don't know anything. Sorry but it's true. Show some respect and stop giving her a hard time. I'm sure she didn't anticipate having to raise kids again at her age. You should be kissing her ass that she took on that responsibility and actually cares that you don't turn into an asshole. Do her a solid. Video games do not matter. Getting what you want does not matter. She probably wishes she could be doing the grandma-equivalent of playing Destiny all day, but she's got to deal with you. Man up, succeed, make her proud. She's earned that. By doing so, you'll earn the right to be a grown-up and get to play games all the time like the rest of us.

1 AntwortenYou need to stop being such a chicken sh!t and stand up to your grandmother, you need to slap her in the face and say "that's enough of your sh!t you -blam!-!n b!tch" WELLLLLLLLLLLL....

Sorry, but you clearly are addicted. Destiny is an addictive game by design, in the same way as many MMOs, a genre know for creating dangerously strong addictions. Letting you play throughout the week is not going to stop you from obsessing about the game. Feeding a habit has never been a successful way to break an addiction. You need to talk to your therapist about this. You may not feel they are helping, but they will most likely have experience with helping people cope with obsession. What your grandma is doing is not unreasonable - it's called tough love. As for your mother being sick of you talking about Destiny, that's probably another good sign that you're addicted.

5 AntwortenFrom what I see, your grandma has a severe mental condition, many refer to this as being a grade a bitch. Solution: pay for your gaming stuff and Internet yourself, you can then pull a, "it's my stuff and none of your fûking business" card

2 AntwortenWow u manage to have a light level of 299 and that grimore and medal score

wow...really? you live with you mom AND grandma? sucks for you bro! my parents are pretty chill. my advice is to come up with a plan, like how many days/hours are you going to play a week, also make sure when your not playing you ask if you can help out with anything around the house (I always get extra time for that!). P.S. elders will never understand gaming because its so new. GOOD LUCK!

1 AntwortenSoooooo it better to watch tv like a zombie and wait for braincells to die of inactivity then being interactive with online gaming?

11 AntwortenShe's your elder/ guardian. Whatever she says, goes. I had the same issue with my dad, and I learned talking back only got it smashed with a hammer. I would focus on school now, and just deal with playing the weekends only.

7 AntwortenLooks like you're screwed until you're on your own. Not much you can do about that. With luck you'll have Destiny 2 to get started on, later in life. If you keep pushing their buttons with this, you're in for more misery. Apparently mom/dad/grandma all could give a damn about anything. - Get older - Excel in school and get smart - Don't knock anyone up/stay out of jail - Don't drink/smoke/do drugs - Get part time jobs, save as much money as you can - Get your license/a car - Graduate school. Start applying for full time jobs in a realistic field. - Move into your apartment that you just saved up for - Don't get any pets, they will limit your freedom and apartment searches - College is optional. You'll go broke throughout and probably major in something totally useless, thinking it's cool. - Save more money/pay bills - Start buying stuff, like a couch/new gaming system/etc - Check: if you are not starving due to lack of funds, you are officially living - Tell mom/dad/grandma to eff off and disown them - Stay up late playing games and watching movies 6 nights a week - Continue to show up on time and don't get fired (yes, they frown on you being late) - Get raises, save more money - Upgrade to a better apartment or house - Buy some more swag and furniture to show people that you're normal - Remember to clean up once in a while - Ignore phone calls from mom/dad/grandma - Check: people like you, you're employed and have money left over - you officially have a life - Get a giant AK-47 tattooed across your abdomen

Bearbeitet von BTak: 9/14/2015 4:40:52 PMwell my father to this day still jabs at me and tries to call me a stubborn piece of shit and video games wont get me anywhere. I graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering, I work for a fortune 500 company, and I met a girl through a friend because of our interest in LoL and became a couple in February. At the end of the day, yes respect your elders. when you go off to college and do your own thing you can just tell em to -blam!- off and that youre more successful than they were at youre age (assuming you are and you worked hard to get there like me) and they cant tell you how to spend your weekends or your money. until then my friend sucks to suck, just deal with it and work on and you'll be a better person for it
