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

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, 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 had to delay the Father's Day dinner that I had to cook, so it wouldn't conflict with my wife and kids' gaming schedules. FML

Today, I went into labor with my first child, and as much as I pleaded, I had to wait for my husband to finish his raid in World of Warcraft before he'd take me to the hospital. FML

Today, my fiancé nervously sat me down for a "serious chat". The chat wound up with him asking if we could postpone our wedding, because his World of Warcraft guild had a raid scheduled for the same day. FML

Today, I was feeling proud of myself because I finally quit World Of Warcraft. I later found out about the gift my dad's family gave me. It was a 12-month subscription to World Of Warcraft. 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

a man who loves WoW more than family shouldn't have one to begin with.

"shame on you!!! how dare you miss your son's ceremony just to kill a inexistent monster mutant giant rat or whatever"- thats what OP should have said instead of "oh sorry, but your dad is playing an online game and he needs the virtual $ to buy a virtual sword to slay the virtual dark lord of darkness" >.>

There is nothing unhealthy about playing WoW as long as you don't go crazy with it. I used to play Wow and none who where in my guild who had families of there own and never did shit like this. And most award ceremonies for kids are Bull shit anyway. Now days everybody gets an award regardless if they did anything to earn it so no one feels left out. I remember when I was in 4H and I got an award for I can't remember what it was so unimportant. Even I was board out of my mind at the ceremony. And for all of you bashing WoW players or gamers in general, Don't you have anything better to do then go on the internet and make fun of the "nerds" on fml.

Just because some award ceremonies for kids are bullshit doesn't mean all are. When I was little I won a statewide poetry contest, and a year later I designed that year's dump sticker for my town. I would have been crushed if my one of my parents hadn't attended one of those.
