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!

That's ridiculous, I'm sorry the father of your child chooses to spend his time with something apparently more important than his own child

I never really understood why people like WoW, but that's probably just because I'm not an MMO person. I hate games where you have to grind in order to continue the game and you grind for hours but still you're somehow NOT good enough to beat the final boss and then when you do, you get like 10 seconds of story before having to grind for the next boss. It's stupid, IMO. For me, it's either have a balance between gameplay and story or make it heavy on the story (Like Heavy Rain or The Walking Dead)

me and my husband play wow we have 2 kids our house is always clean and we plan raids at night while they are sleeping . they are our number one priority. we play during the day but if they need something we are on it and fun family day outings. this is why gamers have a bad rep shame

I'd bet that around the time that a child needs to be picked up from daycare, there isn't any raids going on, atleast not guild-based ones. So if he really WAS raiding, it has to have been LFR and seriously LFR doesn't take much dedication. I'd be more betting on PvP/Arena/RBG.
