Today, I actually heard my 14 year-old son muse to himself, "If I can drive drunk in Grand Theft Auto, how hard could it be in real life?" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I let my 19-year-old son drive my Lexus to his date. At 11:00 p.m., I watched him pull into the driveway with a broken taillight, marks and scratches all over the car, the front bumper missing, and him being nearly passed out because he's so drunk. FML
Today, I came home to find my 14-year-old son attempting to get drunk off aftershave. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son was waiting in the car for me after driving around to build up hours for his permit. He then decided it was a good idea to quickly drive over to catch a Pokemon nearby. He didn't count on getting pulled over for texting and driving while underage without an adult though. FML
Today, I let my son take my car out for a spin, since he just got his licence. He didn't make it out of our street before totaling it. FML
Today, I caught my 14-year-old daughter stealing alcohol from me. After berating her for half-an-hour I finally said, "At least you're not doing drugs." She gave me a guilty smile and sheepishly said, "At least I'm not a prostitute?" FML
Today, thanks to Grand Theft Auto, I found myself seriously thinking about holding up an armored bank truck when I saw it in traffic. FML
Today, I picked up my idiot 20 year-old son from a party. He was shit-faced drunk and managed to drop his vape out the window as I was driving. He tried to open the door of the moving car to get out and look for it, and I had to grab him and pull him back in. Legally, this moron is an adult. FML
Today, I had to bail my son out of jail, because he's a wimp and wouldn't last a night in there. His crime: pissing through the open windows of passing cars after losing a bet with his friends. I feel like if he gave me grandkids, they'd be born with half a brain. FML
Today, my 14-year-old daughter told me she's pregnant and plans on dropping out of school to live a life on the road with her boyfriend. FML
Today, I found out that my 16-year-old son bought a huge amount of grape juice, because he thought he could store it under his bed and wait for it to turn to wine. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you're going to pretend to be a grammar Nazi, at least capitalise correctly, and learn how to spell 'oh'. That is all

319- If you're going to correct someone else's corrections, at least correct yourself first. That is all.

Thank you 348. Also, 319, if you read the sentence, you will see where I corrected from mid-sentence, meaning no capitalizaton is necessary. **** you, eat a dick, I win.

Here comes the inevitable torrent of comments blaming videogames for our youth's fallacies, even though videogames only make you more likely to do something that you were already predispositioned to do.

oooor just maybe your a dipshit and games desensitize kids into thinking things like drunk driving and shooting people isn't so bad because their kids and don't fully realize the difference between a video game and reality

I'm 15 and neither I nor my friends think that way when we play video games. studies have shown that most cases where video games cause people to do illegal crap, those people already had mental/emotional problems.

21 oooooor you're wrong?

I think the issue here is that adults who think video games desensitize kids are under the impression that the kids are as dumb the adults. Don't worry, 21, it would appear that many 15-year-olds have more sense than you :)

I'm quite sure that you have the ability to beat hookers with dildoes on there... if it's that easy on grand theft auto than how hard could it be in real life?

O.o.... perhaps you shouldn't let him play GTA anymore.

The parent really cant be blamed, I mean being 14 and not being able to tell that being drunk in the game does not affect the player who actually controls the game. The kid is just dumb.

The parent had 14 years to instill some semblance of reason in his head, and failed.

Yeah to me the YDI stems not from the fact that the kid is playing GTA (although that is still kinda bad) but the fact that the parent has raised a kid that can't make the distinction between video games and reality. I think if you're gonna let your kid play games that were made for adults that you make it clear that what they're playing is a game.

Ydi for lack of parenting. Don't blame the game. Blame yourself for not teaching your idiot kid the difference between reality and fantasy. In fact just stop breeding. Please.
