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....

Grow up kid. Seriously, once you grow up a little more, you'll be responsible for balancing your own responsibilities and free time, and if you want to stay up or take a day off, you can do that. Until you can take care of yourself and afford to live on your own, or you're at school away from mom and dad (even then, you can't let games get in the way of doing well at school or you'll have consequences), you have to listen to your parents and take your punishment like a man.
-
Wait... Your almost 18 I'm assuming and your mom still knocks down your door in the middle of the night?? Not good man!
-
Is your mother a descendant of the Hitler sire line?
-
You should be getting caught with a chick in your bed at 3am.
-
Lol glad I don't deal with this. I could play when and however long I want. Being an adult is awesome.
-
I have no idea what the answer to your question should be (depends on how far you can push your mum till she throttles you) but I enjoyed the post I don't know why but it kind of reminded me of watching Doug...
-
If you could regulate yourself in terms of time played vs other duties, would this be an issue? If not, talk to your mother and try to convince her that since you are almost an adult, that you are capable of acting like one, and that spending time on the console is not influencing you negatively in other things. You're gonna have to do this eventually anyway, with GFs and wife.

My parents used to just take the PS4 cord away but then I got a backup one.

L-O-L
-
Lol get grounded son!
-
I read that whole thing. Why.
-
Aaaah reminds me of my runescape days...getting 99 the ongoing struggle.

So you are a senior in high school and your mom still thinks she can dictate what you do in your free time? Why does she care? What is she going to do next year if you go to college? Call you at 3 am to make sure you are not playing video games? No. Tell her straight up that you are basically an adult and as long as you do what you are asked...chores, grades ect. You should not be told what to do with your free time.

Ring ring.

I do the same thing with my wife but my console is downstairs. As soon as I hear a footstep, power off, controller upside down to hide the light, fake ninja sleep ...... Que James Bond music
-
Wait, you're a senior? WTF, why are your parents treating you like a 10 year old????
-
Grounded? Are you an aeroplane?
-
You're a senior and your parents are like that? I thought I was reading a 12 year olds story. Your parents must suck at their job if they won't let their 17 year old child spend their free time how they want to. I'm a senior, almost 18. Video games and mainly Destiny are how I spend a lot of my free time. But I also have a job and hang out with friends a lot too, so they let me spend my time how I want.

Try just following her rules until your on your own......
-
Tell her "yo trick, that mouth ain't for talkin", then post results.
-
Try and wait it out till you graduate, she can't do anything after.

You're a senior with that garbage you call writing? Hahaha. Stay in school, kids. Also, if you're a senior, why are your parents treating you like you're 5?
-
Haha. I mean, she is your mom. When I was in high school, my dad didn't let us play games at all. My mom did. So me and my brothers did a lot of sneaking and playing. But nothing you can do about it lol
