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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

The dad sucks if the awards ceremony was the Grammys. The dad is OK if he skipped one of those gay Eagle Scout things. You can't trust an organization that sends men and boys out in the woods together and has a rank called the Webolos (you what?!?!) Plus, the fact that they are virulently anti-gay just proves it! ;)

I was thinking the same thing. "award ceremony" is vague. My middle school once wanted me to invite my parents to an award ceremony for my great achievement in penmanship. Boo.

The "gay" Eagle Scout ceremony the son would have spent hundreds or thousands or hours attaining over a course of many, many years? The same Eagle Scout rank that will be on his resume when he's fifty and will greatly improve the chance he has of getting a good job? The ceremony that will be one of the high points of his life that far? Yeah, WoW's definitely more important.

ok, most award ceremonies from school are stupid, and litterally everyone gets one. if it was graduation or another important milestone, then the lich king can wait to get pwnd another day.

Actually, I'm a girl. I just know quite a few young men who are working towards or have just received their Eagle Scout rankings and I know that it's a huge freaking deal in their lives. Their fathers usually have to play some role in that, too, so the father would know how important it was to his son. No matter if you think Eagle Scouts are lame or not (and that might not even be what OP was referring to), being a good-for-nothing dad like that is lamer.

At first I thought it was the dad posting, but I realised the OP is a female... But yeah, FYL OP... I've played WoW just once and although I think it's somewhat of a good game, I still don't see what causes people to get addicted to such an extent. In my opinion, it's perfectly fine to have a family and play MMOs at the same time, but the person needs to learn about boundaries. Who the **** cares if you're in some sort of dungeon/raid...if something important IN REAL LIFE pops up, then get the **** off your chair.
