Can't play Destiny on the school days because of my grandmother
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.

2 RepliesAll these people saying respect your elders. They really don't know honestly how much -blam!-ing hate is created when you are trying to express yourself and your parents/elders barely give a crap and they say you're wrong. I have actually taught my parents that they should respect and understand my opinions if there is a point. And no not anything violent or stupid I'm not a freak, but by actually not backing down and letting them do all they want to me. They have taken my phone, Playstation, and anything else that could entertain me. And I never gave a crap until they realized that I stay true to my opinion and they can't always win. That's when they tried to understand me and got my point. And that's how I taught them.

12 RepliesEdited by The Argent King: 9/12/2015 5:29:43 AMBy my grandparents' graciousness they have allowed me to live with them while I attend college. They give me a room, bed, food, and roof over my head. I love games don't get me wrong, but if my grandma or grandpa ask me to get off to help them, or go somewhere, or just keep them company, I make for damn sure that I get off and help them out. I don't think you appreciate your elders all that much and it's sad. One of my grandparents died right in front of me when I was only 9 and since then I have cherished every second I get with them. You can play games and live your life, but your grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, they won't be around forever. EDIT: Study!

8 RepliesSounds like you really shouldn't be playing the game at your age anyway. And hate to break it to you, but until you get your own place and start paying some bills, you DON'T get a say in how things go in the home.
-
Do what you like and -blam!- the haters. Unless you're a minor. Then you have to follow the house rules.
-
I know how you feel. There will be times when the only thing that I can do is watch TV during the weekday, and my parents still get mad if I play on the Xbox.
-
Your grammar is so bad and need a lot of paragraph breaks. Listen to your grandma and do what she says your just a kid

its how they were raise when they were little. people act like its nothing but if you notice some parents or grandparents take the same customs theyre use to and treat everyone how they were probably treated. My parents are soft of the same. My mom especially, shes from mexico and was raise a lot differently than i was over here and she usually complains at my stuff but its because it doesnt seem normal or thats not what she did when she was little. Its all about how they were raised. Once youre reach and old age its hard for those people to change their ways because they are supposely more 'experienced or its just how they got use to living' just sucks when they dont want to atleast look at your point of view. Just try not to make a huge deal out of it.

Same here my mom won't let me play on the weekdays

2 RepliesYou seem reasonable. Just hire a hit man for Grams and your mom. Make sure he's a good one though, he could probably frame your dad for it.

Some advice for you pal. Play destiny on Tuesdays during the week and take the Monday, Wednesday and Thursday off. That means you can get the basic weekly activities done straight away. When you don't play during the week, take some time to catch up on TV shows such as Game of thrones and Breaking bad or watch a new series that's on atm eg Fear the Walking Dead. It's a great way to pass the time during the evenings when you've got nothing to do, plus you're up to date with all these shows, so if you've got friends that talk about them, you can join in the conversation.

2 RepliesHow old are you? Also, just get fuxking strait A's at everything you do and after that do whatever you want. Just tell grandma to shut her old twat because she's out of date and noone gives a -blam!-. If they don't have shit to complain about and they still do it just slit there throat in there sleep. My father hit my mother once when I was 9, I told him if he ever hit my mother again I would kill him. Also get a job and save up to get the -blam!- away from them as soon a possible. Ohhhh I got a good one, or do lots of drugs and blame it on the fact that they won't let you play video games.

5 RepliesTie a pillow around her head and tie her up. Next through her in the closet and lock her inside. Than say "if you don't let me play my game I will keep you in there until you do". Wait till she cracks. Perfect plan.

9 RepliesThat really sucks dude. Unfortunately, some of the older generations don't "get" video games. When I was a kid, my dad was ALWAYS using any excuse to take away the NES that my aunt got me for Christmas one year. I had been wanting one for YEARS and finally got one when I was about 12 or 13. He was a scary abusive a-hole too. One day I mouthed off to a teacher, and she called home and got my dad. I was sitting on my bed playing mega man 3 and out of nowhere he walked in and punched me in the face, then smashed my NES to pieces. I didn't get another gaming system until years later when I was on my own, and got a PS1. My point is that, as much as it sucks and isn't fair for you, your at the mercy of your guardians until your old enough to do what you want on your own terms. You sound like a good kid, and maybe eventually you'll get gran gran to hook you up. Try doing something with her that she likes or helping her with a chore she has trouble with. If you can compromise for her, maybe she'll return the favor. Good luck little guardian.

Danng! That is a shit situation. I never had that problem growing up. As long as I made good grades my parents generally let me play when I wanted. Within reason. Some family time was required lol. What I do with my kids now is limit their time. 2 hours of games at night after homework. Weekends I let them play as long as they don't have school projects. My kids like video games just like I did when I was a kid and I understand the enjoyment from it. I myself use gaming as a way of winding down from work. Some People watch TV or read. Maybe go to the bar for a drink. For me and for my gaming wife its always been video games. Its how we relax and spend time together. We even play Wii with the kids sometimes. As far as your situation, it sounds pretty tough to handle when no one wants to listen or compromise with you. Suggest 2 hours a night maybe setting a time frame each day after school and homework. Tell them its how you relax after being at school all day and stimulating your brain. If that doesn't work Idk what ya can do. But sounds like grandma might have a TV addiction! Lol. If she does watch a lot of TV try to explain it in her own terms. She enjoys watching TV and relaxes by watching her shows. You do the same but with a different form of media. I don't see gaming as an addiction unless you let it interfere with your life or family job school ect. Don't let it run you life. I hope you can get things figured out. If not you may just be stuck until you get older. I know when I was a kid I wished for nothing more than to be older and on my own. Now id give anything to go back to being a kid. Working and paying bills is no fun. Responsibility is tough but that's life. We can't always have what we want or do what we want at, any age. Just work hard at school and make good grades. Get a good college education and work hard at your job and you can do whatever you want in your free time. Take care and good luck!

Ah I feel ya. I can only play on weekends and that's only in mornings and afternoons..

3 RepliesI don't understand the part where they don't care if you watch TV or go on your phone, but act like a videogame is the work of satan himself. It's just a way of relaxing and spending your time like the things mentioned above and things like reading books. On top of that, it has been scientifically proven that videogames have many positive effects

That's where you gotta start being a asshole to them and make them compromise if they want you to do things say no and state your reason

If you bought it with your own money and they purposely break it you can call the police on them
