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.

Music is music. No matter how it got to be. If they need auto tune to make their music sound the way they want it to sound, then so be it. Technology is just another instrument. Lyrics and rhythm is what makes up the song, vocals are the support. let's say you heard a song that you completely fell in love with, then later found out that the voice had been digitally altered. Does that change your views of the song or the singer? will you stop liking the song? Because imo that's immature. I can see in other situations with something similar can be wrong, but with music it's a different situation. Music should be about what it is and not how they got there. So stop hating on beibers songs. Their good, probably not your taste as it isn't with mine. Beiber has talent.

When I was 14, I did something to piss my Mom off. She calmly walked up to my bedroom and started packing my shit. Once she had all my clothes in a trash bag, she handed me the bag of clothes and told me to get the f*ck out. She made it clear that if I was going to disrespect her, she didn't want me in her house. What kids fail to realize is that their parents are the ones who feed them, put a roof over their head, and clothes on their back. Without his parents, this boy wouldn't have a television to play his xbox on, or electricity to make it work. To all the people who clicked the "Deserved it" button, let me ask you this..If you had a kid who was constantly falling asleep in class because he stays up all night playing xbox, what would you do? I mean, the smart thing to do I would think would be to take the xbox away, which is what OP did. Does that give the kid the right to withhold his Father's medicine until he gets his controllers back? No. As long as you live under your parent's roof, you abide by their rules, end of story. Also, what ever happened to kids going outside and doing things with their friends? When I was a kid, we hardly ever spent time inside. My friends and I were out riding our bikes or skating in the summertime and snowboarding in the winter. Kids these days have a mental breakdown if someone takes away their video games or computer..It's actually kind of sad.

While I don't think it's healthy for kids to just sit and play video games all the time, I also think we need to accept that not every kid likes to play outside. Aside from possible allergies, the outside is irritatingly bright, hot in the summer, too damn cold in the winter,full of insects and dirt. These are not things every person likes to subject themselves to and it seems to me that should be fine. Kids can read, play board games, exercise, and use their imaginations to make up games just as easily indoors as out.
