Kids, Medication and Health: Don't mess with gamers

Don't mess with gamers

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

Today, in an attempt to get my son to stop playing Call of Duty, I threw his Xbox controller out the window. He was so desperate, he followed it. His bedroom is on the second floor. My son has 3 broken ribs, and no future. FML

Today, I found out my son has been lying about being sick. He kept complaining so I took him to the doctor and got him some medicine. Now he’s actually sick because he took meds he didn’t even need. He did it solely so he could get an expensive get well soon gift. FML

Today, I saw a girl texting at school. I told her she might want to put her phone away before she got a detention. She turned around and I saw she was changing her insulin level on her pump. She has diabetes. FML

Today, I figured out why I have been feeling so drowsy and lethargic for the past week. My daughter had been slipping sleeping pills into my coffee as payback for taking her phone away. FML

Today, I had to go into school for the third time this week because my son is claiming he's on bath salts and biting all his classmates. My son is 16. FML

Today, I finally realized the reason my son's grades have been dropping so much. Every time I drop him off at his tutor's house, they play Call of Duty until I pick him up. FML

Today, my 13 year-old son had a seizure in the middle of his history class. We were at the hospital for three hours and several expensive tests later he informed me he faked the seizure so he could get out of a group presentation. He was so proud that he was such a good actor. FML

Today, I was called by my 9 year old son's teacher. He had handcuffed himself to his desk with handcuffs he found in my room. I was told to please bring in the key and not to leave my kinky toys out where a child could get them. I'm a cop. FML

Today, I got a call from my son’s teacher, saying that he raised his hand during a test to say he "couldn't focus, because the ‘metroids’ are harassing me.” Apparently, he forgot about the test and took a healthy dose of shrooms right before. FML

Today, I was called by my son's school to pick him up. Apparently, he snorted baking soda, crushed aspirin, and flour because he thought it was coke. Where did I go wrong raising this twerp? FML

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.

That is downright selfish. He thinks an Xbox is worth someone's life? Sell the Xbox, all of his belongings, and make him sleep on the floor.

What you do is demand your medication first. Then make him sit on his bed while you remove everything not absolutely necessary from his room. TV, Radio, computer, games, books, magazines, favorite clothes and shoes. He risked your life for his happiness then he deserves not to be happy. He can wear plain clothes and shoes. No computer unless it's homework a teacher has told you he needs and he's under supervision. No tv unless it's needed for an assignment and again under supervision. 8 o clock bed time with lights out and after you check under his bed, closet and so forth to make sure that there's nothing to be done but sleep. he can leave his room for meals, bathroom and school only. If he killed someone like he could by hiding your medication that's what would happen to him. Tell his teacher that he's under house arrest and see if they can keep him during lunch and recess breaks so he's not allowed time with his friends. Try that for 6 months and it's a lot easier than it sounds and I bet he changes that attitude real fast. I also wouldn't give him back his computer, tv or games until he earns them with chores and I mean pay FULL price for a brand new tv, computer and game.
