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

...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.

for all you people saying he should have raised his son right, grow the hell up. OMG, KIDS ALWAYS DO WHAT THEIR PARENTS SAY AND NONE OF THEM EVER REBEL OR DO THINGS THAT PARENTS DON'T TEACH THEM. >_> seriously? my parents raised me well, and i still sometimes skipped doing homework or chores to play video games... because i was a kid. in no way does this mean that they did not raise their child right. also, we have no idea how old this kid is. if the kid is a teenager, seriously... i'd say YDI to the kid for freaking JUMPING OUT A WINDOW for a damn controller. regardless, throwing the controller out the window is no big deal, considering the parent more than likely bought the damn thing for him. extreme would have been smashing the system. kids these days need to learn to go outside for awhile instead of being glued to their games. (which, i admit, i do from time to time, but i don't do it 24/7)

Stop generalizing. Don't act like you know everything about people you've never met. AND DONT TYPE LEIK DIS IT MAKES YOU :LOOK LEIK A DUMBASS >_>

in case you didn't notice, that was typing in voice of people who say that...it was meant to sound like a dumbass. and i wasn't generalizing. everyone here who is calling the OP a bad parent for their kid being addicted to CoD is. i was pointing out the fact that this is just how most children act. it's not generalizing, it's a fact. they are going to whine, and complain, and go against what their parents say, and skip out on homework or be glued to a game/tv/book/etc. this is NORMAL. of course it's going to be different in other countries, and of COURSE it's not going to be the same for every single child. but it's still not the parent's fault if their kid is addicted to the game, so long as they didn't encourage it. nor is it a crime against nature for him to throw a piece of plastic that he most likely bought out the window. if his son bought it, or if another family member bought it, sure, it was a bit too far.

He probably did it to illustrate how big of an ass you are for throwing his things out a window. Just because it's your kid doesn't mean you can be a dick by attempting to destroy his controller just because you've failed to motivate him. I graduated with straight A's while sitting around playing PC games. It isn't the game, it's your inability to help him balance his time out.
