Don't mess with gamers

By bbedlock - 16/04/2011 12:35 - Australia

Today, after receiving the third call this week from teachers about my son falling asleep in class, I decided that it would be a good idea to hide his Xbox controllers. He decided it would be a good idea to hide my diabetes medication. FML

**** that, smash that xbox to the side of his head:/

That's bad parenting, plain and simple. Any kid raised right would never dream of pulling a stunt like this, especially when it puts his parents' health at risk. You brought this on yourself. Now it's up to you to set him straight before the nasty behaviour gets worse.

What goes around comes around

Not every kid will learn to behave from being grounded and not every kid responds well to be spanked. This is one of those issues where you really have to know your child. People think that parents who spank are horrible parents but I got news for you, a large chunk of them tried the grounding/time out methods first. I know that when I was younger I always just shook off groundings because for every ten things I was grounded from, I could think of twenty other things that were just as, if not more, amusing to do. It wasn't really a punishment to me because I never really missed anything that was taken. On the flip side of that one of my best friends growing up acted like being grounded was the most miserable thing in the world. In the end every kid responds differently to things and the only thing people can do is figure out what works best for their kid.

it's only fair give him a warning first before you go all out with punishmen

b a strict parent for once and take it away and demand ur medication back and give him a spanking if he doesn't listen

There's a reason why spanking lasted so long as a form of discipline. It worked.

forget the xbox.. you should take away his pot ;) problem solved

I'm really hoping OP did, because a punishment without a clear explanation just gets perceived as an attack and invites retaliation.

Would it have killed you to explain to your son why he was losing his xbox contollers before taking them?
