While I agree with those of you who responded to my last post in that, yes, parents can be just as stupid as anyone else and yes the explosion you described was really bad parenting. However, some of you also missed the overall idea here. It is entirely possible that Leo continuously does stuff like this and perhaps had a few other stupid mistakes throughout that day as well. Eventually anyone hits a boiling point and may very well lash out in a rather stupid fashion. We only heard this one small point in time of Leo's version of events. I bet his dad could point to a series of issues that eventually led to his rather childish outburst.

Either way, Leo, no big deal. Life will always be full of times when you're tested for your resolve. Just accept the lows with the highs and move on. Be thankful your dad didn't do what mine did when I was about 12 and forgot to clean the bathroom before I went to school. Let's just say my experience left me literally on the floor in a daze.


I understand your point, but that still doesn't excuse a parrent from having a childish tantrum for what looks like an honest mistake (do you really think he wanted to pick up the wrong charger so he couldn't play his DS?  It seems to me that he was trying to do the right thing by spending as little money as possible).  There are much better ways to deal with the situation if that's the case.  It could be the tantrums his parrents have that make him too nervous to think things through.  It could be ADD.  It could be many things that don't warrant a parrent acting like a six year old.   If stuff like this happens on a regular basis, there is most definitely a reason for it and his parrents should think things through a little more carefully.

When your mother calls you a "retarded piece of #$$$," something is clearly wrong with the parrents ability to be parrents, which I think is the route of the problem.  I would have had a word with her if I had heard her say it.  Kids, by nature, want to please their parrents.  Problems like these start when the parrents are impossible to please.

while the parents have an obligation to respect their children, children have an obligation to grow up. the guy's 16 or  17 now, he cant afford to make as many mistakes. another thing, last gen parents and this gen videogames pretty much never mix.

When parrents act like childeren, they can not expect their kids to act like adults.  It's called leading by example because kids learn from watching what their parrents do.

How do you know his age?

his info.

so the dad threw a tantrum, that means hes a kid? the fact that he even bought his kid videogames in the first place doesnt exactly prove hes a shitty guy

and ur pretty much saying leo-j, at 16 or 17, is still such a weak little sponge, absorbing everything his parents does, he can't even think for himself. or are you saying leo-j is already somehow damaged by his crappy parents?

This is not a real story, or your parents have mental problems. Which WOULD explain a lot, though.



Check out my DS site.

listen leo-j, I haven't intended to post in this thread, but some of the comments kind of force me to do.

please read closely now :

the condition for everything is that u havent made up that story just for the 'fun' or good thread. if u made that shit up you are a total jerk. both ways, true or not, i feel sorry.

So, if this is true :

- This does NOT belong into a pubertal forum like vgchartz, nor any videogame forum. I understand u may have your best internetbuddies here, but they are no substitution for real help. If you really need to work the thing up in your mind, visit some actual helping side. i'm sure those also exist in the US, they always answer youth's questions. explain THEM your specific background and those of your parents, do NOT explain it to some of the jerks here. you can see, they already made stupid jokes of getting rid of your parents. that NOT what you really wish.

I repeat : By sharing information with random forum members in a PUBLIC THREAD on a videogamechart page you just alienate yourself further from your parents. you'll think about some of the posted shit as viable options, which they are NOT. please hold the topic out of vgchartz, it doesnt belong here, even those who want to help you cant help you and those who dont want may cause enormous damage

 

What you need to do now :

- think why your parents react like this ( has anything similar already occured )

- what reasons could be there that ur parents react so extreme

- can the issue be solved / better said : will your parents recognize it as CLEAR overreaction and mistake, or is this common in your family

 

If you dont feel you can work it out inside your family visit a side which is meant to help you. do what they advise you.

Do It. Stay away from this forum with this subject.

 

P.S.: All the people who are trying to make your feel guilty in this thread, you should know those are total assholes and the people that you dont need if you really want to handle the issue. they dont think about your situation, they just search for a cheap laugh.

By no means can it be your fault, 16 , 17, 18 or 30 if you get such a reaction from buying a wrong cable, even if your family is, lets say, extremely poor, the thing is returnable and it may drive someone angry but not that form.

You are by no means the culprit in here.

 

@ community : if you have any sensitiveness left in your brain, fucking stay out of this thread with retard advises like getting rid of his parents. you just make it worse. you are disgusting



How can 720p be considered HD when it looks like ugly snow grains on my 22'' screen?

1. Always read the package carefully before you put money on ANYTHING.

2. Get a job, find room mates at 18, move the fuck out, pay for your own schools and shit, that's one of the most dysfunctional shit I've heard all year and I'd cut the money tie with them asap so you can actually have good relations with them down the road family-wise, there is no reason to go crazy over a fucking charger and your parents are fuck heads for it.
