Password locking my daughters comp was the best thing I ever did. She had gotten to the point to where all she did day and night was IM her friends and started back talking the wife and I and ignoring us.
2 years later she only gets on the comp every other day or so and doesn't miss it.
I bet he plays Alliance.
There is no signature here. Move along.
Way to go, parents. fantasyjunkie, I bow to you.
Good things need to be earned. He has a right to play WoW, but he needs to appreciate it more by taking it in small doses. Chocolate milk kid was just plain hilarious and scary at the same time.
EPIC! What an utter prick!

What's so unusual about this? It seems pretty basic to me. The Chocolate Milk kid was way, way worse, as he was just being immensely pompous, and was trying to boss his Mom around. This kid, however, was simply saying he wanted to play a lot, but he still acknowledged that his Parents have power over him, and his parents and he had a (one-sided) argument about it not being a main-priority, and his lack of care for what his parents do for him. After a short while of lack-of communication, like a single school-day, they'll have a much smaller talk about it, and eventually they'll be on the same terms as before. He'll still have limits on the computer, but he'll get over it.
I never had problems like this with my mom. If she wanted me to stop playing for a reason or another, she would always let me know earlier or just give me like 30 minutes so I could finish up whatever I was doing. Compromises ftw.
I heard they invented some threadmill powered computer. My kids are so getting that if they pull something like that. :mog:
Well, it wasn't the Ritz after all
...Geddit?
That kid is pretty disturbing. Although, I did find it funny when the guys that had overheard the whole thing where like "WTF".. That just made me laugh out loud.
Winnar is you. I would do something meaner. Like randomly make a GOEpher pop up on the screen [skald] screaming at full volume. Possibly electrifying the chair and spraying mace out of the web cam. All while the web cam takes a picture and automatically emails it to me for lulz.
Totalarism must be properly enforced. It is a delicate system.
