Today, I came home from the hospital diagnosed with high blood pressure. It's caused by stress. My wife had a very long talk with my son about it. All the kid has been doing for the past 2 hours is scream at his Playstation. I'd rather be at the hospital. FML

Solution: take Playstation away from him for a few days.

To reduce your stress you should throw the playstation out the window and watch his reaction. Always good for a laugh.

I'm sorry OP. My mom has high blood pressure too and my siblings act like this.

Try petting your animal for a while. That lowers your blood pressure

Wow, two hrs and you've done nothing (except complain, of course) to correct the situation. You must be a stellar Dad.

It's a common misconception that hypertension is caused by stress. There are lots of factors that cause it - genetics, obesity, certain benign tumours, obnoxious screaming juvenile brats, etc.

Who is the parent? You or your son? It's called take it away it he refuses to listen about yelling. That's what my parents always did if we would get mad at a game and yell at it. They would warn us and then take it away.

Then take the playstation away until he can play on it with some degree of maturity. Your his father, don't just leave raising and talking to him to his mother. If he's behaving like an angry child, treat him like one and ground him for a few days. It's your home, you don't have tolerate him screaming and fussing over a toy.

Time to man up and be a dad. If he can't play without shouting at it, send him out to go run around the block a few times. Maybe suggest that, if he gets too tired running, he should accept that offer of a ride from the stranger with the candy.

Maybe if you had taken time to parent properly you'd have a kid who already knew screaming for 2 minutes, much less 2 hours, is completely unacceptable. At this point tho, I recommend duct tape.
