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.

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

2 RisposteI am play Destiny because it the game I've been looking for its like something I play everyday, it's not an addiction, it means your having fun. All the guns and armor you have collected is a achievement show your grandma what you have been collecting this years in games!
-
just kill her, shes a bitch anyways
-
1 RispondiI recommend getting a spork and using it to play with your grandma's eyeballs.
-
1 RispondiThere is a simple fix to this: Do what she says, but when she goes to bed you get back on. Old ladies can't hear for shit.
-
..dat grandma tho
-
Your grandmother is a smart woman.
-
What the -blam!- did I just read...
-
Lmao why is u buggin tho
-
If you were playing Halo at 6 you should be around 15-16 now? Get a part time at McDonald's it's a shitty job but your making some money, maintain your GPA to maintain and keep your job then get the -blam!- out. Your grandmother sounds like a toxic person and you shouldn't deal with that. My gma when I was 16 tried pulling some Shit like that telling me stuff and in all honesty I'm the type of person you just don't want too piss off so I told her some Shit that made her shut up and too not even try that again. They will think that we HAVE to respect them when they should know you treat others how you want too be treated regardless of age. Don't put up with it you sound like a good kid keep your head up bro but you need to stand your ground cause by holding back your giving them that authority and btw a therapist doesn't help cause half the time they are just another -blam!-ing idiot (Take it from me I had one when I was younger and currently read alot of Psychology and Neural Science) So there's my advice don't bite down on your tongue and get Shit done while you enjoy what you do. I'm 22 now with 2 kids, I have a good job, pay all my bills, pay my girls school, have a car and play destiny I believe you can do it brotha
-
Why are you telling us?
-
I feel bad for u sir

1 RispondiAs a foster care counselor who deals with situations like this too much: When she says get off the game, speak these words into your mic: I had something come up, see you tomorrow, then turn it off.. She is literally telling you what will make her stop wigging out. Listen. Profit. You're welcome.
-
Lmao. Stick her crazy ass in a home.

3 RisposteDon't kill or murder, it's not worth it. Killing someone over a video game will ruin the gaming community in none gamers eyes and destroy your life, just deal with it and eventually everything will be better.

3 RisposteModificato da Apolloshot: 9/12/2015 2:13:14 PMWhen she forces you to read a book instead of play Destiny try discussing [b]every single chapter[/b] with her. Make sure to also do so while she's watching TV. Then when she tells you to go away because she's watching TV tell her she's addicted to the television. Edit: You probably shouldn't do this if you like peace, but it would at least be funny.

I'm 100% behind your grandmother. Wait until you move out of the house and you can throw your life away then. School is a hell of a lot more important than gaming kid.
-
Just act out, get in trouble, (not to much though) and blame it on boredom. Stop doing so well in school, dont do your chores, yano the usual shit that piss parents of. Dont get mad, get even.
-
Haha same. Dad said I cant play weekdays, I was mad about it at first, but now it's whatever's actually cx I haven't felt so free since launch day xDD
-
Damn. Put it this way....just work your badside off...and show them all one day... if you cant play destiny....get a part-time job or something.....sports....a club or something...
-
Also fight your gran to the dearh
-
I wasn't allowed to play my Xbox during the week back when I was in school. I used to sneak on when my mum was at work, and my dad would generally let me play it when my mum wasn't in anyway. But now I'm at uni and have a job and play it whenever I like. Just become more independent and they'll ease up on restricting your gaming leisures
-
I'M NOT ALONE This is almost exactly what happens end at my house ;-;

Then bust your ass and work hard whenever you get a job, get rich and if they ask for money, tell them to get outta your face you're trying to play destiny
