Today, when I left for work at 7:00 am, my dad was playing Grand Theft Auto 5. When I got home at 3:30, he was still playing. I'm 18 years old. He's 45. FML

Hi, OP here. Just to clarify, my dad works third shift so this was during his time off. I simply thought it was funny that the roles seemed reversed. He does work hard to provide for us.

I think it really depends on how often this happens. If he's constantly ignoring responsibilities and playing video games all day then yeah, that's bad. But if he just occasionally enjoys a day off by playing games, there's nothing wrong with that.

Can a man not enjoy playing some video games...? He ain't that bad of a fail if he had you.

Poor taste in games, maybe, but so what? Is there more context? Or are you just griping that he's doing something that most *kids* do on a regular basis?

Really good game how could you say it was a bad game choice

There are more gamers that are in their 30's and 40's then you think there is. I am 39 with 5 kids, 2 of who are adults and I am a gamer. Oh and I am a girl too! There have been a couple of games that I ended up staying up all night playing and had to be to work that next morning, and I still went!

How do you know he didn't do stuff In between? Just because he happened to be playing when you left and when you got home doesn't mean he was playing all day. I deal with stuff like with my parents all the time on the computer

It was a good chuckle! Now the real question is, who's better at GTA V? You or your dad?

So I take it he plays as Michael?

To address 44, he probably is. And 47, I believe he actually spends most of his time as Trevor

I don't understand why you even posted this.

I don't understand why you even posted this as an FML then.

I don't think gaming has and older age limit. I'm a 50 year old woman and I love to game like that. As long as he is fulfilling all his responsibilities who care?

You clearly didn't read op's comment. I'm sure you're trying to act smart but op said they aren't bitter, they just find the role reversal funny.
