Okay, so - I'm a 48 year old dad of four, and my kids are all over 21. I'm not going to lecture you or give you grief about being pissed off, because even the guys bagging on you know exactly what it feels like (hint - they also know how full of crap they were at the time, no offense intended) I'm just going to lay out for you where I was coming from as a parent: you see, most of the time we actually "get" what it was like being a kid. We also know how our kids operate (if we're paying attention), so we tend to notice how 'what's going on today' is going to impact 'what's tomorrow going to be like.' Sometimes the kids get a pass. School nights require a much higher level of criteria to gain rule-bending status, and your perception is that Golgoroth should meet that criteria. Clearly your mother thought otherwise. But here's how you play to win, where your parents are concerned: (pay attention - this stuff is important) First - understand that in a best-case scenario, you are a subject in a benevolent monarchy (you're clearly talented enough to stare down Golgoroth, so if you don't understand that, I trust you have the smarts to look it up). The best way to maintain the favor of King or Queen of the house is to maintain an open line of communication and respect on your end. It doesn't mean you'll get your way - because, you know, that ain't how it works - but it means that you've included your parental forces in your life, and what they really want is to understand and to be understood. It's a two-way street, sure; but just like your parents can't control you, you can't control their actions either (another big lesson you'll get plenty of chances to master). Everyone should at least try to become a more evolved version of their parents, so - work on it. Long post short: your mom knows that the only reason it was "just a few exra minutes" is because she shut it down. Calling her an idiot after already losing your Xbox is like hitting rock bottom, and choosing to start digging. Don't be that guy. No respect given, none earned. Pray for no nerfs until probation!

Maybe you shouldn't be committing that much time when you know you only have an hour to play. So because you took advantage of that, now you are paying for that
-
She probably didn't want you to finish the raid lol
-
Imagine that, you are a minor, she probably paid for the system, and the game, and the dlc. You try to not listen and you get punished. Huh. Weird.

Respect your mom homie or move out.

Yeah it does suck as a kid. But one day she wont be there for you. Gotta respect her man, coming from someone who has realized the hard way

1 ReplyMaybe calling your mom an idiot has something to do with the problem.
-
13 RepliesFirst you don't disrespect your mother. second she feeds you. third you have a roof over your head. Now understand this when she tells you to get off it's teaching you self control and discipline, in life if you say 10 more minutes every time, it creates a form of procrastination! It's a bad habit!
-
Look kid, don't call your parents or anybody for that matter an idiot.

1 ReplyUnderstand what your mom's motivations are... she only wants what is best for you. It may not come across that way some times, and what she does to discipline you may not make any sense in the world - but that doesn't change her intent. As far as your situation goes (and I'm speaking as a father and a gamer here) keep in mind that a person has a limited amount of energy to expend in any given day. Energy you spend gaming is energy you're not spending on your studies or anything else that is productive. Sleep is equally important and totally underrated, and you need more of it then you might think. Yes, parents aren't perfect, but none of that lessens your responsibility to handle your business and take care of yourself. Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. That is a loser mentality for people that would rather make excuses than make progress. What you are lacking right now is a sense of ownership and control over your time. Totally natural. The way to earn that control back is to show that you can balance your responsibilities (including sleep) with time you spend having fun. I'd like to tell you that it gets easier, but I don't want to lie. Growing up and becoming a man is hard work, and the responsibility you must bear only grows over time. For me, I like to say that sometimes I get to do what I want to do; the rest of the time I do what I have to. Better for you to learn that now than later, or else you might find yourself years from now losing your job because you stayed up late raiding and didn't wake up on time. It's tough. Believe me, I know it. I've been in the exact place you are now, and back then I thought the situation sucked ass and my mom was being a total bitch. Looking back on it though, I'm glad she was there to set limits I couldn't set myself.

1 ReplyEdited by ch4inw4x: 9/30/2015 4:38:13 AMYeah I love when my kid doesn't listen to me. It's like you know...I could've smothered you at any time while you were growing up, but decided I loved you instead. The least you could do is respect your parent's wishes

1 ReplyYou never know what you have until it's gone.

You're the idiot for calling your mom and idiot. She should now take your xbox and toss it out the -blam!-ing window. All she is trying to do make sure you get enough sleep so you are fresh at you school for special needs students.

My Mom wants everything off at 10:00, however she said she's not telling me (unless im loud) to get off. Because if im not up the following day that's on me, those are my consequences.

Edited by SalutexMO: 9/30/2015 4:41:11 AMSpoiled...don't ever put shit like that over your mother
-
Sounds like you're an arrogant entitled little shit who doesn't deserve anything more than food and shelter from your parents. Good luck in life
-
Your mom should trade in the Xbox to GameStop and use the money to buy you more diapers and formula.
-
Your mother is the best thing that has ever happened to you. -blam!- off with this shit. Never disrespect your mother. Without her you wouldn't even be here.
