TIFU by getting caught.

So over the last ~6 months or so, my parents have been taking away the power cable for the monitor so I can't access it. They take it away when they please which is every single time I would like to play. To give an idea, they take it away at night time around 11:00 PM so I can't waste my time. Usually I get on the computer at 9:30 to 10:00 pm after i'm done all my other hw after which I can do any hw i have on the computer. They also take it every time they leave the house so I'm kinda stuck without it. This means like on the weekends usually. I have classes Friday evening till Saturday evening (religious) so I can't be on till then anyways. Yeah I get it back to do hw and they take it back as soon as i'm done usually. Thing is that the printer uses the same wire and everything else including my hard drive uses it too. So the first day they took it away, I just took it from the printer and plugged in and it worked. Slowly every morning I would go on the computer and then proceeded to using it every night as well. Now let me tell you that at night time, I woulds spend around one and a half hours with the "fake" wire. I would finish up my hw and then maybe watch a show or play a game of league or two. Yesterday after being away for the whole weekend (religious thing) and after closing the door to my parents bedroom (they were going to sleep) I plugged in the "fake" wire into the monitor. This was around 12:20 and I had hw to finish up because I had done none (was away). I went to the bedroom to pick up my homework and I here my mom. O shizzle. I peek out of my bedroom into the dining room (yes its there so thats the first thing my parents see when they open the door) and shes there. She asks me if I had took the wire they had taken back and I said no. (Its under their pillow LOL no way I'm getting that) My mom asks me where I get it etc. and I told her Its from the printer and that I've had it for a long time (decided telling the truth was good) Then she said something about trust and stuff and my dad comes and takes the wire away (Dad was VERY calm and stuff; would have expected to get the beating of a lifetime LOL). Yeah so they took it away and I don't think I'll be able to play league much anymore. I tried telling her then that its helped me finish a lot of work (which is true as I've finished lots of work with it) and that even when I play its because I want to play and I should be allowed to play. She told me no and that weekdays are for work and stuff. I've been trying to convince her and she says that they let me play too much (she said 3-4 games is a lot and I do a lot of work). I honestly just want to do all my work and even if they let me play an hour then it would be ok. I can get more "wires" if I want but Ima take my time and think about it.

 

Oh yeh and the things I had clicked when I turned the computer on was google chrome and the league client. http://gyazo.com/871604348d058b3477734fa76937d632

yeah she saw that and shes like oo you were about to play (cause there is a PLAY button there).

 

So yeh when I leave to pray she will probably take it away again.

I mean I just want them to understand that after I do all my work, I kind of want some time where I can PLAY on the computer where I can relax and stuff. They can limit this time if they want honestly but just let me do it.

Yeah maybe I can talk some sense into them though? Thats my point. Ik you guys will just tell me that yeah w/e parents are in charge and stuff BUT the thing is you guys never went through it. I think that every single person I know have parents that let them at least spend some time everyday just chilling and having fun.

I just want to know what to say.

When opportunity allows:

Remove the power cables from every item in the house that you can that THEY want to use as long as it doesnt involve cuting them off & hide them well, preferably nowhere in the house.

 

Secondly assuming that computer &/or net access is not solely used by yourself, password any unsecured and alter all existing passwords for personal accounts router etc.

 

Third stage if required is to remove & carefully distribute all fuses from the power box ( no point leaving them where they can be easily replaced)

Obviously this is best done immediately prior to an extended break ( a weekend religious/music camp etc) so they can truly appreciate the absolute lack of facilities.

"But the thing is you guys never went through it"

You're complaining about your parents not letting you play a stupid fudgeing game.

A lot of us do go through the times of strict parents, and if you don't be such a stupid disobedient muppet to them constantly then maybe they'll become more lenient.

My parents have never let me go to parties or have friends over to chill and shizzle. It took a very long time to get them to allow me to go to the movies (which I only go about twice a year). I didn't go behind their backs and go out when they weren't home or have people over. I didn't complain and whine saying "ommgggg but muuumm you're soooo mean please if i don't see my friends [insert fiddlesticks excuse here]".

 

AND YOU KNOW WHAT

I'M fudgeING GOING TO AN 18TH IN 2 WEEKS coochieS

YEAH

THAT'S RIGHT nice doggy!

BE A GOOD LITTLE BOY FOR 5EVA AND THEY'LL LET YOU DO shizzle WHEN YOU GET OLDER AND HAVE A JOB AND BECOME MORE INDEPENDENT

 

Also it sounds like you get plenty of play time in during the weekend so

 

 

and if you're that upset that you can't play LoL everyday, then leave. Sounds like the only option at this point. Run away. Far away. It sounds like you don't need your parents so why keep them around? I'm not saying murder them but if it's a choice between having a mum and dad or playing 1 game of LoL everyday, the answer is clear.

You think your parents are tough? lel

 

Before I was 18, I could only play M rated games for a hour a week. And that was just CoD: MW. I was 16 at the time.

 

I couldn't own a T rated game till I was 13 (Smash Bros melee was an exception, Dad approved).

 

I lost computer privileges for 1 school year in 8th grade.

 

 

 

So yeah, I had rough parents too. But school and work ( I was working at 16) became top priority, then sports, then games.

I had my computer rights removed for an entire year, not a school year, an actual year. I wasn't allowed to play runescape when my dad was home because he thought it was teaching me how to do magic and worship satan or whatever. He probably blames runescape for me being gay.

 

 

@Aabid: Your parents are being strict, too bad. There is nothing you can do about it. It would be easier for you if you just rolled with it.

I remember back when my mom limited me and my sister to 30 minutes/day after we had almost nine hours of school

I'm gonna try to give some advice here

You won't convince your parents. It's as simple as that. If you're 15 or so and they're making you go to Islamic classes, they're not gonna lighten up any time soon. Go outside. Play with friends. Lead a secret life of fun outside. They clearly believe that computers are the root of your apparent gaming "addiction" and they're not going to let that go.
