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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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 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, my boyfriend dumped me because he said the relationship was too tough for him. When I asked for an example, he responded, "Like, I don't have enough time to play World of Warcraft." FML
Today, my boyfriend refused to take me out on our three year anniversary because he was busy, "training to become a professional gamer." 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
Today, it became apparent that my boyfriend only showers when he levels up on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick me up from work. We work at the same place. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were arguing about how he was too busy for me. During that conversation, he was texting his best friend and then called by his brother to drive him home. Instead of returning to finish our conversation, he left to prepare for his fishing trip with his mates tomorrow. FML
Today, I realized that I'll have to explain to my child that mommy and daddy met on World of Warcraft. FML

My mom (who I no longer see thank god) forgot my sister and me at elementary school for 3 hours one day and it was one of scariest times of my life. Luckily my dad saw us waiting outside while driving by (my parents are divorced) and picked us up and took us to his house.. Thankfully he was at daycare and not just waiting outside. Sorry to hear about this! So sad. Kids are always #1 priority!

It's not a "battle"... It's a "raid party".

This guy sounds like a schmuck and I'm not sure he should have a place in you and your kids life if he can't get his priorities right.

He may be boyfriend material, but he definitely doesn't sound like father material

Aren't there some daycares that call child services if your child is left there too much longer after they're supposed to have been picked up? I've heard of that somewhere, but it's been a while so I don't remember where. I think Florida though.

I'm seriously tired of all the people on here having sex before marriage what do you think the whole point of marriage is

This is why children should not have children. And why women should not choose to make children with children.

I wouldn't say OP's boyfriend is a child. Just that he seems to be overly addicted to the games he plays and needs help getting unaddicted (Or whatever the word is). It's not like he needs to stop playing them completely, there's nothing wrong with having gaming as a hobby (And in some cases, it can be job) (I can say this because I'm a gamer myself), but when it gets to the point where you're ignoring and neglecting your kids, you need to tone it down.

Dump his ass. That's the best thing for your kids.
TallMist 32
Why dump him? Why not talk to him and get him to get over his addiction?
