I get grounded for a month cuz i tried playing destiny at 3 am

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....

        If you like the game, you can find time in weekdays without being at night... can't be busy 5 days a week every night with other things??? You say homework for 3 hours, I say do it in 1 hour 😉

      • School comes first, then video games. Then you can get a job and make enough money to buy all the games, and not bitch about the price of dlcs or silver. Trust me, do good in school, then the money, bitches, and video games will come easy.

        • Not worth it, in the sense that none of it will matter in the long run. If you want to get back at her, just don't call her much once you finally move out of the house. XD It's kind of a low blow though...

            • Lol you get grounded for gaming at age 17? Lmfao how bad are you're grades? Also why are you gaming when you should be sneaking out of the house to go get some pun tang or drink some beers with the guys? Also go join the military or go away to college.

              • "Sleep is vital," "make something of your life," "your mom is probably right." I won't be the keyboard hero equivalent to your mom like everyone else. Play as much as you can, find ways around your mom catching you, enjoy gaming if that's what you like doing. The fact is some day you will be on your own doing whatever you want. You'll be gaming, and you'll suck. Why? All the hours and days of gaming taken away by your mom. Do you want to be that shitty mid 20's gamer? If being a dedicated gamer in your 20s makes you a loser, I can't imagine what it'd feel like to actually suck at those games and preach to kids like yourself on forums like this

                Honestly, you should just deal with whatever they tell you what to do for now & when you graduate & have a well paying job & are at least 18+ then move out. Your parents are looking out for you. I'm half Spanish & my parents never really bugged me like that when I was young like that about video games lol shit, they use to let me stay home when I was tryna beat the endless set list on rock band haha. I'm 21 now, I still play video games but I have my days where things are more important then video games. For now, just deal with it & just agree to what rules they set. Your lucky they didn't just took your console away completely for a month or something lol. Deal with it, when the time is right then you can actually play or whudever. No game is worth waisting your life on. At the end of day, it's not paying your bills & turning you into a responsible adult. Edit: unless you play video games professionally then that's different lol.

                • Read the whole thing. Here's my advice Is all that drama and aggravation really worth it? You are just making life hard for yourself and your mom unhappy. Your mom cares about you and the reason she doesn't want you to spend your life on video games is because it's a waste of time at your age. When you have a solid job with a good income then your free time is your free time, you can play as much as you want. At your age it's important to study for the time being then get the rewards later. Work hard now enjoy it later. That was my motto when i was younger. If you continue just playing destiny instead of studying then it will impact you in the future. My advice would be to give it up with the games. Its not your main priority at the moment. Everyone needs their "relaxing time" but waking up at 2 am so you can play it before school is stupid man. You will probably not be getting enough sleep so you won't function properly at work. If you only have a couple more years at school then there will be plenty of time for video games in the future. Don't forget destiny has a 10 year plan, so you have at least 8 more years that destiny will be around. You got plenty of time. Just because you are not playing destiny don't feel like you are missing out on anything. This game has a buisness model of "get to max level" new DLC comes out "all your old stuff is useless now go get to the new max level" it's just rinse and repeat. Plenty of time for that when you've done your exams Hope that helped, that my advice bro.

                  • If you're playing while you're grounded, you deserve to continue to be grounded. That's a disciplinary problem. That being said, if you playing Destiny at 3 a.m. isn't hindering your life, I think it's silly to ground someone over it.

                  • Bro, you're getting grounded and you're like 18? Get a job and pay rent to your parents, contribute to your household and society then they will let you game all you want. Obviously after doing all of this you will have matured enough to realize sleep is needed to work efficiently, and I doubt you'd make the same mistake again.
