Today, I had to explain to my son that his dad was too busy in a raid on World of Warcraft to be at his award ceremony. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick our son up from daycare. His excuse? Fighting in a battle in World of Warcraft was far more important and he had to stay absolutely focused. Our son had to wait for two hours. FML
Today, I realized that I'll have to explain to my child that mommy and daddy met on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, I asked my dad to pick me up from school, he said he couldn't. Why? he was busy playing world of warcraft for the night. I got to walk the 3 hours home while my 49 year old dad played computer games. FML
Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML
Today, I had to delay the Father's Day dinner that I had to cook, so it wouldn't conflict with my wife and kids' gaming schedules. FML
Today, I went into labor with my first child, and as much as I pleaded, I had to wait for my husband to finish his raid in World of Warcraft before he'd take me to the hospital. FML
Today, my fiancé nervously sat me down for a "serious chat". The chat wound up with him asking if we could postpone our wedding, because his World of Warcraft guild had a raid scheduled for the same day. FML
Today, I was feeling proud of myself because I finally quit World Of Warcraft. I later found out about the gift my dad's family gave me. It was a 12-month subscription to World Of Warcraft. FML
Today, I walked in on my son teabagging his sister over a video game. FML
Today, my boyfriend taught my son to do his chores. Not real chores, but "Runescape chores" on my boyfriend's account. My son won't pick up his toys or put his shoes away, but he'll jump on the computer to grow plants or cut trees or some other stupid shit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

a man who loves WoW more than family shouldn't have one to begin with.

Indeed. He pretty much left my Aunt to do everything. Then they got divorced.

Eh... award ceremony of his son is important, but also rather boring. Raids are important and fun. I guess FYL.

I don't know what to say here. On the one hand I'm incredibly turned on that you sympathize with a guy that would put video games first in his life. on the other, I still can't get over the fact you are okay with a guy putting video games ahead of his children.

If I were you, I'd make him quit WOW and start saving his monthly membership fee for your son's therapy.

If that were my husband, I'd shove the computer keyboard up his ass. Then I'd make him go to the ceremony. Then I'd divorce him. My husband plays World Of Warcraft but would never, ever put it before our family.

1. Wow OP = Over Powered 2. FML OP = Original Poster 3. i'd like to say **** all you haters out there. WoW is an awesome game that promotes a good, clean, fun environment to game in. It's a great way to meet other people an can be an amazing social tool. Yes the idiot father should have went to the awards ceremony but that in no way changes the fact that the game is straight up amazing. Seriously in what other way could you get 12 million people to unite and do something together. So once again **** off all you socially inept pieces of shit.

"so **** off all you socially inept pieces of shit." Someone who plays WoW (and views it as an "amazing social tool"? really?) calling other people socially inept for failing to recognize an MMORPG as valid social interaction? I smell irony. :)

Through WoW I've met and interacted with a huge variety of lifestyles and ethnicites. In person and over voice chat. Maybe, just maybe you should broaden your mind and not just imagine the stereotypical WoW player when you type.

... you actually go out in person and meet the anonymous people on WoW? That's a bit dangerous, isn't it?
