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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a call from my son's friend's dad, demanding I pick him up immediately. When I arrived, he marched me into the house and pointed at an Xbox controller lodged in the wall, informing me I'd be receiving the bill for drywall repair. FML
Today, I refused to play with my brother because he always breaks my stuff. Mom brought him into my room to force us to play together. He tripped and spilled coke on my Xbox, which smoked then died. Mom just backed out of the room with him slowly, like, "I see what you mean, we'll leave you alone now." I hate him so much. FML
Today, my 12-year-old son played QWOP on my laptop. Half an hour later, he virtually destroyed it in a fit of rage. FML
Today, after my 14 year-old son brought home six Fs on his report card, we decided to take away all his video games and sell them. He screamed for hours, then went into the kitchen and started smashing glasses against his head, "until we brought back his games." FML
Today, in an effort to try and be closer to my girlfriend's son, I bought him an expensive Xbox game I know he desperately wanted so we could play it together. He was excited, until he realised that I that paid for it. He snapped the disc and threw the pieces in the bin. At least I tried. FML
Today, I finally got my son to go for a run. He broke his neck 4 months ago and has been playing video games the entire time. I was a competitive runner once and run everyday. He kicked my ass, 21 minutes for the first 5k and he sped up. He was back playing video games when I finally got home. I think I lost a lung on the trails. FML
Today, I'm sitting in the ER with my eight-year-old son. He broke his arm after jumping out through the second story window. He was too impatient to walk to the ice cream van pulling up outside. FML
Today, in an attempt to keep my valuables safe, I snatched my PlayStation 4 controller from the hands of my 4-year-old nephew. Not knowing that it was connected, I ultimately yanked the PlayStation and the HD Flatscreen flat on their faces. FML
Today, I caught my boyfriend cheating so I broke up with him. As revenge he threw my PS3 and XBox out of the window when I wasn't in our house. I got those consoles out of the spare money my three jobs had brought in - the same three jobs I had to get because he refused to get a job of his own. FML
Today, my girlfriend threw my X-box out the window, because I asked her how much she weighs. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

...WOW. That's some serious addiction right there. That boy needs therapy. Seriously though OP, you don't need to go that far. You can RROD an XBox 360 just by looking at it the wrong way. I should know -- I own one. -_-

My dad doesn't know I have an xbox. He'd do the same thing hahaha. So I only play when he goes away on business trips which is regular enough anyway.

I think both of you overreacted. I'm a technophile so throwing a controller or any sort of tech is a crime against nature in my eyes, but id never follow said controller out a window more than 1 floor up. FYL for having an idiot son FHL for being addicted enough to jump out a windo YDI for overreacting & throwing controller out a window

Agreed. Instead of throwing the controller out of the window he could have kept it somewhere his son couldn't find it. (sorry bad grammar)

Those things were 50 bucks when the 360 was new, so they should be even less now.

the deductible on the broken ribs is probably a bit more than sixty bucks.

If I were your father I would say get the **** out of the house with the damn controller, if you're gonna live under your parents roof, you're gonna follow their rules.

my neighbor's son was climbing a tree and nearly at the top when she noticed and hollered for him to come down, cause their medical deductible was $10,000.

OMG! God help my boys if either one of them raise a hand at me, I'd beat them then my husband would kill them! Everything you have is a gift not a right for as long as you are under their roof, you don't like it get the f*** out! I commend the parent for throwing it out, I would've unplugged the whole thing and possibly put it on craigslist!

You're so ****** up. At least your son isn't on the streets doing drugs, drinking or trying to have as much sex as possible. You were an extreme asshole and now your child is injured what a great parent you turned out to be... That's sarcasm in case you couldn't comprehend that!

Your son doesn't have tiger blood!

So as long as he's addicted to the point of bodily injury to anything other than sex, drugs, or alcohol, or criminal activity anything else is okay? No! Moderation is what's important and OP is right to be concerned his son is so obsessed with his hobby that it supersedes his own safety. Unless COD puts food on the table (which is only the case for maybe 100 people in the entire world), OP's son should be banned from the Xbox for awhile. I'd encourage you OP to spend more time with your son, get him books to read or have him invite his friends over. Get more involved in his life, and I'm sure he'll turn out to be a more well balances adult.

Actually I know 2 people that make a comfortable living off CoD and other games. YouTube is good to you if you get lots of views. Plus I think being addicted to videogames is better than being addicted to cocaine. I'm just saying I'd rather have my kid's addition in his room where I at least know where he is.
