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!

There's no excuse for domestic violence.

Exactly. He should get his priorities in order but if someone forces me to stop playing against my own will they're gettin a ddt

Definitely BOYfriend, not "man-friend". anything and everything takes priority over real life responsibilities for these sorts of people. Plenty of gamers can schedule their game time around life (rather than the other way around). And who the F raids in the afternoon??? clearly a bunch of unemployed bums who have nothing better do to during the day. If you need the internet, then just change the settings so Blizzard is not allowed past your firewall. or... find another friend who plays and then report the boyfriend's account for being a gold farmer or fake account and let him try to save his account after that.

lol everyones bashing this dude while im over here going "i know how video games are, especially games the require you to farm enemies, it was probably set up in advance and so its not his fault he had plans" gamers are gamers. always find out if hes got anything plannes before leaving him a responsibility

Please don't ever have children, because if you are dumb and immature enough to think that video games can have priority over your kid, you don't deserve to be a parent.

A child is a lifetime responsibility that I'm guessing he had 9 months to prepare for. Nothing is more important than your child to a real parent. Choosing a game over his child is unforgivable and to suggest she check his fantasy schedule before appointing him real life responsibility is very immature.

This is probably the stupidest comment I've ever seen, I hope you NEVER have children yourself. This is HIS CHILD - his well being takes priority over any stupid video game, and that's coming from someone that does progression raiding in Warcraft. NOTHING in warcraft ever takes precedence over any of my family members, and no one should ever have to 'plan things around what's going on in game", and if it was such a big deal he should have mentioned it before to his girlfriend. There is literally nothing in that game more important than a child.

If op took your advice, she'd have to live her entire life as a hostage to a video game. He needs to arrange his gaming around his family, not the other way around.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and guess that #37 is young, arrogant. and has a huge free time to responsibility ratio. Hopefully.

everyones so butthurt xD its ******* hilarious.
blazeit 13
I agree completely with you
leogachi 15
I don't think you know what "butthurt" actually means.
HitmanKillsYou 13

Yeah as soon as i had a child and KNEW i wouldnt be able to commit to wow (because shocker, my baby is more important!) then guess what? I quit wow. Simple as that.

As a WOW player... I am truly sorry for this. Real life comes before the game no matter what.
teapotrevolt 27
Amen, this makes us all look bad. I regularly find time to raid, and I'm a single mom. This guy had no excuse... Lok'tar ogar!

People don't respect gammers. I work full time, study, take care of family and still people will blame you for playing "stupid game" and how un-responsible human being I am. Now I just play on my weekends and after everyone is sleep, so no sudden "on purpose" things which require me to leave or quit happens.

I play quite a lot of video games, including World of Warcraft. I also have a daughter. There's nothing wrong with playing games if you're a parent, but this guy definitely has a problem. There's no way I would ever forget my kids just because of a game.

i know you!

Just because you can have a kid, doesn't make you a great father....
