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.

3 RisposteLol read your title and then saw "sorry I have bad grammar" laughed moved on

2 Risposteplease say that was satire.please.

I'm not allowed to play on school days except for Friday's. I don't really care that much. I get good grades. [spoiler]Sounds like your grandma's a real asshole[/spoiler]
-
1 RispondiYour parents let you go on your phone... Solution to this: set up remote play on any android phone and when they ask what you are doing, you're "on your phone"

6 RisposteGrandma: "You've been playing those games to long!" *Unplugs console* OP: "You've been living to long!" *Unplugs life support*

5 RispostePush her down the stairs.

I'm being completely honest here, I have THE EXACT SAME situation
-
5 RisposteToo long didn't read and I don't care
-
I think you should talk to someone at school, not the butt holes on these forums. How old are you anyway?
-
2 RisposteBruh...my parents used to be the same way....so I would go to bed real early then wake up at midnight and play till like 5:00 then go to bed again. Did that all senior year and it worked pretty well for me...I caught up on sleep in my easy classes at school....just have to make sure you set an alarm so they don't find you asleep in the basement instead of your room....a spare aux and power chord is also a good idea. Now I'm working they don't really care, plus I'm too tired to try to stay up late. With TTK I might be tempted tho.

My parents torn off the wifi I cri erytim

2 RisposteSo basically you are a kid that doesn't listen to their parents/g-parents and you are complaining that they are being parents. Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

Tell her to get near her TV cuz' the next part is really good, then push the TV on her. Boom. Splat like a fly.

Modificato da NaCl: 9/13/2015 5:56:51 PMHonestly, since you live with your grandmother, she's gonna have old values and ideas about how children should behave. Not playing on week days is reasonable to be honest. Maybe discuss a time restriction of like 2-4 hours that you can play?

Put her to sleep

4 RisposteWhilst it seems annoying, she is doing what's best for you.

1 RispondiThis can't be real

Where is your console? Is it in your room or somewhere else? What I suggest, even though it goes against your grandma's words, would be to play after she has gone to sleep with minimal to no sound and brightness to the lowest setting. You might lose out on some sleep but if you really want to play, that is my suggestion. The above statement, however, is only if you absolutely need to play no matter what. I would not advise you to go against your grandmothers wishes in fear of punishment and I am not liable for the outcome of the stated suggestion. Regards.

18 RisposteModificato da Akatosh: 9/11/2015 7:08:23 AMYou are addicted boy face the truth. You are searching for excuses and you keep on lying to yourself. Be thankful to have a grandmother who cares. If you go on this way it could lead to that you are drug/alcohol addicted with 18 (21 for America) and this will cause your early death. If you are around 12 years old I could be your father. I'm a gamer and I would play Destiny for example with you but one thing is for sure [b]not every day[/b]! Maybe I would allow you to play on school days If you've done your homework and no exam is near. But as I said before not every day. Man up and try to understand your grandmother/parents want only the best for you. Best,

1 RispondiLol welcome to the club bud. My parents haven't let me play video games on week days since the beginning of time. Too bad, so sad...
-

I had the same damn problem... But hey... Watching tv, being on computer, tablet, iPhone whatever the case is... Is the same exact addiction everyone possesses. You drop it when you want and whenever you can you do. Just because someone says so doesn't mean shit. It's no difference than watching tv for 8 hours. Video games were proven to increase memory, hand eye coordination, and other problem solving skills. Grandma is a grandma. Let her do her hover round bullshit while she still can. I love my elders but they don't tell me much. I love them but hey... If my grandma was an ass that like... She'd be wearing a hat. I think she needs to -blam!-ing check herself. Your argument is its your entertainment. It's fun, that's what video games are is they are fun. Tell you are going to play it In the future regardless
-
Finish your homework and then play? School is important though. I'm in my senior year and have a shitty GPA. It's easy as hell, I just didn't do what I had to do.. hobbies, work, games have been my priorities. If gma does give in, don't let this happen. I'm doing military so who cares about gpa anyway lol..

What did yor therapist say about all of this?
