Kids, Medication and Health: Don't mess with gamers

Don't mess with gamers

Today, after receiving the third call this week from teachers about my son falling asleep in class, I decided that it would be a good idea to hide his Xbox controllers. He decided it would be a good idea to hide my diabetes medication. FML

Today, in an attempt to get my son to stop playing Call of Duty, I threw his Xbox controller out the window. He was so desperate, he followed it. His bedroom is on the second floor. My son has 3 broken ribs, and no future. FML

Today, I found out my son has been lying about being sick. He kept complaining so I took him to the doctor and got him some medicine. Now he’s actually sick because he took meds he didn’t even need. He did it solely so he could get an expensive get well soon gift. FML

Today, I saw a girl texting at school. I told her she might want to put her phone away before she got a detention. She turned around and I saw she was changing her insulin level on her pump. She has diabetes. FML

Today, I figured out why I have been feeling so drowsy and lethargic for the past week. My daughter had been slipping sleeping pills into my coffee as payback for taking her phone away. FML

Today, I finally realized the reason my son's grades have been dropping so much. Every time I drop him off at his tutor's house, they play Call of Duty until I pick him up. FML

Today, my 13 year-old son had a seizure in the middle of his history class. We were at the hospital for three hours and several expensive tests later he informed me he faked the seizure so he could get out of a group presentation. He was so proud that he was such a good actor. FML

Today, I was called by my 9 year old son's teacher. He had handcuffed himself to his desk with handcuffs he found in my room. I was told to please bring in the key and not to leave my kinky toys out where a child could get them. I'm a cop. FML

Today, I got a call from my son’s teacher, saying that he raised his hand during a test to say he "couldn't focus, because the ‘metroids’ are harassing me.” Apparently, he forgot about the test and took a healthy dose of shrooms right before. FML

Today, I was called by my son's school to pick him up. Apparently, he snorted baking soda, crushed aspirin, and flour because he thought it was coke. Where did I go wrong raising this twerp? FML

That's bad parenting, plain and simple. Any kid raised right would never dream of pulling a stunt like this, especially when it puts his parents' health at risk. You brought this on yourself. Now it's up to you to set him straight before the nasty behaviour gets worse.

This kid doesn't need his xbox controllers taken away, he needs his ass beat... where's the father in this situation?

If children are taught correctly in the first place there is no need for a paddle or any other "beatings". A kid that does something bad enough to deserve a beating with a belt is already a lost cause and btw all I got was the occasional grounding and I have never done anything like OP's son or drugs or got pregnant at 12 or any of the other crap people like to tie to bad parenting. I am now 24. Just because some parents cannot disipline properly doesn't meant that naughty steps and groundings don't work. That is exactly what I will be using when my son starts his terrible twos.

Now, that's what I do to my parents! Give him the controllers and your problem is solved. I took my moms toilet paper while she was preparing for a colonoscopy so. be thankful.

I'd probably use what ever was valuable to you to wipe my ass if you were my child and did that to me.

why is everyone against the son? to a child am xbox is just as important as diabeetus medication. as a previous poster tried to say...give him a bed time. instead of jacking his shit make him turn the controller in at a specific time. I couldn't help but vote that you deserve it.

I doesn't say how old the kid is so he could be in his early teen years for all we know. If such is the case then he would be old enough to know that X-Box is not equal to a medication that keeps a person alive. The other thing though is that if the kid's response to having the controllers taken is to hide medicine his father needs to live, do you really thing he's going to "turn in" the controllers at night without a fight? I somehow doubt it since he seems to feel so strongly on the subject.
