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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

Ugh.. this makes normal WoW players look really bad. :/ There's all these horror stories like this that give us a bad rep, but most of us are pretty normal and perfectly capable of setting aside the game for something going on in real life. (I have 2 80s. Horde, of course!)

Your son should totally understand bro.

When you told your son that, you should have added, "It's understandable though, he was only two emblem of frost badges away from getting his Tier 10 shoulders. He needs his 4-piece bonus. Oh and they got the 'I'm on a Boat!' achievement."

Ima have to say once you start a raid you can't leave the group unless it's a fail group then it's ok

wow please tell me aren't with this pathetic loser...it sounds like his dad has an addiction to that game which means that you and your son are always going to be second and third! from the time I was 8 till now and I'm 18 my mom has been addicted to a game almost exactly like world of warcraft called everquest and it ruined our whole family! my brother is like emotionally damaged so am I and so is my older sister. I dot think you want your son growing up thinking that his "daddy" doesn't love him!

Addiction is addiction, whether it's to something you eat, drink or smoke, or play. I'm sorry that your husband is so addicted that he couldn't let his guild know that he wouldn't be available for the raid. My guild has a calendar that we use to sign up for raids, and if I had a son, I would make sure to not sign up on that day. Definitely look into help for your husband - and on your own as a spouse of an addict - if he worsens. WoW doesn't have to take over one's life. Good luck.
