Was it worth it, no...., will i do it again, probably; the reason it was for a month was cuz i did it another time which was the day the taken king came out, so it sucked when she barged in my room and immediately grounded me for a month but knowing she was mad, i knew she would make it 2 weeks.
So idk what I was thinking still but i played again the day after & the day after that which pissed off my mom to the point where she gave me 3 days with grounding, i accepted that. After about a week i start setting my alarm at 2:30 am & 3:00 am to wake me up and play before I go to school, I cant play during the weekdays so this was my only way to play unless I wanted to wait until Friday each week....so anyways, up until now i haven't been caught.
Funny thing that happened was that I woke up at 3 again (today) & as I was turning on my console & starting a mission, I had to take a piss so i sneak out of the room like a ninja (cuz im so good at that, *cough* *cough*; no i ain't) then i start hearing movement coming from my parents' room.
I finish taking a piss and so i stand by my room & i realize i can hear the hum of the console from the room & i immediately thought (*dam, this is so easy to hear, ima have to move my console next time, i dont feel like moving it cuz then I'd have to turn the console on and wait for destiny to load*) so I went in my room & locked it, turned on the tv (cuz i turned it off when I went to take a piss) and then the knocks of doom and the screams of grounding came to my door and as I turned the console off & pretended to act as I've been sleeping, i opened the door & wham she just said, "ur grounded for a month, i heard it", immediately thought (*i shouldve fkin listened to my gut feeling about moving the console*) now if u read this whole story congratulate you, now the whole reason i posted this was ask the destiny community, do u think it was worth it?
I'm a senior with decent grades, I was brought up playing video games starting with the Nintendo 64, my mom knows i love to play video games, yet whenever I want to play she's always restricting me to an hour (normally i ignore the fact that she just gave me an hour & play till she says no more; since I consider it inhuman, sometimes I get lucky with 2-3 hours. & this is on weekends only) cuz as I said previously i cant ever play on the weekdays. I heard of all ppl playing for longer & for each day, do u think i should leave the house & become like squidward & ask for "spare change" & move out of the house. Nah jk thats a "full retard"ed idea just like never going full titan, maybe I should kill my parents & play destiny to my hearts content until police find out like i heard on the news one time.
One things for sure, if my mom restricts me after i graduate, I swear to god im movin my ass to another city & renting an apartment. P.S. I commend u if u read this whole shit of a story, so ima ask it again, Do u think it was worth it? What should i do when trials comes out....Should I continue abiding by my moms rule of balancing thing when i go to school for 7 hours, do work for more than half that time, get home, do hw for another 3 hours, eat, sleep, then repeat for 4 days, then on Friday-Sunday play about 1-3 hours each day.
Edit: i made paragraphs, r u English teachers happy?
Edit: I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS IN ENGLISH CLASS AGAIN, LET ME CLARIFY, I'LL TRY HARDER TO WRITE LIKE A PROPER PERSON SHOULD WHEN I'M TYPING A STORY
Edit: to answer some of the same questions, I had gotten the console as a present from my aunt but it recently broke and so my mother bought it again for a cheap price, so it's not like i can just take it away
Edit: almost 500 posts, i gotta admit, these types of topics gets more attention than topics about the game....

Just remember, it doesn't matter how mean you can be to you're parents. They can always be twice as mean back to you. so my advice is to be nice and helpful. Because you're parents can also be twice as nice and twice as helpful. It might suck for you now but you'll thankful later. [spoiler]this rule also applies for cops [/spoiler]

...at senior year, your moms needs to let you make decisions based on your own judgement(got to learn the hard way). You said it yourself..you knew you f'd up, so try and make a plan to f... up again, but this time go big or go home. 😎

No it's not worth it. 2 things... 1, if you're that addicted it's kind of sad. 2, she's never going to respect you as and adult until you act like one. A few questions; do you have a job? Do you pay rent? Are you going to go to college?
-
Well your title says it all & i didnt feel like reading all this bull on why u shouldnt have gotten grounded...Dont u have school/a life? Instead of staying up until 3am
-
Suck it up. She's mad because you disobeyed her so many times.
-
Look, you're just going to have to wait and be mature about it. Hearing about others playing for longer and during the week does not justify you doing the same. Trials comes on the weekend and that seems to be your main concern, so why get up at 3 am and play? You are addicted to Destiny.
-
Plot twist: your mom plays destiny on the down-low and is doing it so she can stay ahead of you in the game. Also, she probably reads the forums and will ground you for another month for posting this.
-
Cool story. Was worth
-
Your parents are rough dayum dude a month? Bring that console to ya buddies house!
-
Don't ruin your health and education for a game.

I read entire thing. 1: If I was your mother, I'd confiscate your console for a long, long time, for disobeying me repeatedly. 2: Nintendo 64? Respect bruh. 3: Never go full Titan? Bruh, wtf is wrong with you. Everyone knows Titans are Master class. 4: You have plenty of time to play Trials on the weekend. A lighthouse run takes about an hour with a good, solid team. And if you don't have a good team, you shouldn't even bother trying trials. 5: You don't look cute today. #TitanMasterRace

Well... Your a senior. And College is a great experience. Just stick it out man. There's always a future
-
Your a senior tho why can you only play for an hour?
-
Try negotiating [i]maturely[/i]. Ask if you can make a compromise. E.g. If you raise your GPA to x, you get to play Xbox for y hours longer. Or find another hobby til you can move out.
-
I could see your mom restricting your playtime if you were in middle school or high school freshman MAYBE sophomore but to be a senior and your mom still treat you like a child is just over baring parenting IMO. Tell her to go find a hobby and get off your case. Tell her that you will one day resent her and never speak to her or let her see her grandkids if she keeps this crap up.
-
Better watch out before she takes it away permanently.
-
Yeah I'd say it was worth it. You sometimes got to break the rules to learn from them. We've all been there. Now I'm 28 and do what the fûck I want. (Within reason) :P
-
I can only play on the weekends too and I'm doing just fine.
-
Dude I feeeel you bro. I have near perfect grades (math is still hard but I manage to scrape by barely with an A), I take care of my dog, and I do all my chores and my mom [b][u]still[/u][/b] refuses to stop trying to get me to do other things. I'm not into athletics at all so I don't go to football games, and I don't have any friends where I live because I just recently moved (plus the kids at my school are douchebags anyway). Destiny is like the only thing I do when I get home besides homework lol. I swear some parents just hate what they don't understand.
-
Why are you telling a bunch of nerds on the Internet?
-
I'm just happy you said you don't care about the English teachers in here. They are annoying.. who cares it's a video game forum. Anyways good luck with ur playtime.
-
Damn you really wanted to play that bad?
-
did they buy the Xbox for you? are you under 16? if either of these are yes take your punishment for being a naughty little boy if your answers are no to each then tell that bitch to get -blam!-ed and you will play when you want.
-
It was not worth it, but it's your moms house so her rules/

Get over just play on the weekends you're a kid your parents can do what ever they want when it comes to controlling your play Time they birthed you raised you feed you and cloth you this is some first world problems
