The op was a little bit older than the 8 year olds and the 6 year old. The mom of the6 year old should be lucky he put up with his behavior and was nice enough for her son to exchange for a different Lego figure. Legos can be fun but throwing a tantrum over things that are small like losing in games or not getting what they want. That kind of attitude I don't put up with.

I had a water bottle what i used to spray him if he does bad thing's and i emptyed it, by opening it and pouring it over him. Last day he ever set a step up there. Also he did drop my Star Citizen model of the Constellation from there... it got a lot of things broken... he didn't come close to me for 2 day's despite i only screamed "WTF" at him once pretty loud, he know exactly what he had done.

[@penguinpingu3807]

Tantrums are acceptable, it's normal for a child to have it, but stealing is beyond acceptable. I would be worried. That's why when you have other kids in your house always keep your doors lock at all cost. Defend your room to the death. Edit: Half the people in this comment section has never dealt with children or are really impatient. It's normal for children to have temper tantrums until they are 7 to 8. They are emotionally undeveloped. That doesn't mean destroying objects however should be punished.

[@princessmarlena1359]

And destroying private property (ie the controller) is intolerable.

[@sabrinacat8469]

At 6 temper tantrums are not acceptable. They can and should know how to use their words to express themselves at the age of 6.

I don't now other country's but here you get phonecall's or emails all the time, my uncle has his own bussines too and he got called at christmass at 9am. So i think gaming in his case is a big part of venting that stress out too.

Story 2: Gaming is a hobby. Like any other hobby, if someone has a hobby (gaming, cars, sports, camping, poker, gardening, working out, etc) and that hobby takes up a substantial portion of their time, you should either accept that aspect of them and work around it, or try to share that hobby with them if you want to date them that badly. If you aren't interested in their hobby, you should date someone who shares hobbies with you instead of trying to change the behaviors of someone who has established interests that they enjoy and you don't. There are plenty of people out there. If you're not into camping, don't date a camper. If you're not into working out, don't date a gym rat. If you're not into gaming, don't date a gamer. My spouse and I are both gamers - video games, board games, card games, TTRPGs... We're both nerds. We aren't always playing the same thing at the same time, but both of us respect that it's an important hobby to both of us, and we can spend hours together with parallel play or playing the same thing together. I really have difficulty wrapping my mind around stories about "my boyfriend/girlfriend spends 20-30 or more hours a week doing this thing I don't like, they don't want to do less of it, and I don't want to do that thing with them - what should I do?" You should break up and find someone else who spends 20-30 or more hours a week doing the things YOU like to spend 20-30 hours a week doing.

The first story, I remember there one incident that what happened to my younger cousin Bella few years ago. The party was great but I got this funny feeling about this big boy that I never seen before, I don't know if he was her classmates or relatives on her dad's side. When the cake put on the table, I noticed immediately when this same big boy is very too close to the cake where Bella is right front of the cake. I instantly closed to them because I don't know why but I know this boy will probably do something that he shouldn't do. When we finished the happy birthday song and when Bella was about to blow the candles. This boy blew it of all the candles. I was disbelief and angry at what the boy did, I instantly look up I noticed the lady look at me and the boy and I knew that lady is his mom because I seen the boy is close to her alots during the party. I saw Bella is very upset and I stopped her mom(my younger aunt) to cut the cake and told her what happened and redo the candles again. She was confused at first when I stopped her and understood when I explained her and saw Bella was very upset. She agreed and lite up the candles but this time, I blocked the boy and stand of his way to get close to the candles which he tried to go past me when he saw the candles are being lite again. Few of my relatives (mostly the adults) are confused but when me and my aunt explained to them, they understand. I guess the mom (the big boy's mom) probably heard us and I think she given an look (mostly at me) but couldn't said because she knew she won't win. Well, we sing quick version of the song and let her blow her candles without anyone (mostly the kids) disturb her and the candles. I tried make her happy, well I can tell she is grateful but still sour which I didn't blame her for that. While everything is settled, I heard some boy whining, I look at direction of the sound. I heard him complaining about the candles but his mom told him off and scorned him for what he did and making her looked bad. He was sulking and the party went great throughout the day.

Literally she knew what she signed up for when she moved in with him. He takes care of bills, chores and has a great career. He’s clearly an introvert and a homebody. If she can’t accept him for who he is then it’s unfair for trying to change him. He doesn’t watch tv or Netflix and is a homebody. Why not try and find a video game to play with him? Or work with him on a streaming channel or something. Again, she knew what she signed up for. She can’t try and switch it up on him after🤷🏾‍♂️

And his hygiene disgusted me it's crazy how in the beginning when we were dating he would go out of his way to look nice and make an effort with his appearance but once we officially got together he would go 2 to 3 days without showering at all and was a complete slob, I had to start doing laundry once a week because the sheets and pillow cases made me gag and when I brought all of this to his attention I got all excuses and no solutions to the point I just couldn't take it anymore....😔

Story 2: even if the boyfriend did spend 30 hours a week gaming and 4 hours working there is still more than 100 hours left of the week

[@aaronlee6124]

the op said she only counted when she was home

Karen: My child is the angel. Me: So you’re telling you’re little brother is satan not a angel.

Story#:2 in my opinion as long is the boyfriend is providing and doing all his part at the house it's ok it's only 7 hours per day and no gaming during the weekend. Just like my uncle he plays video games more than 7 hrs per day he works from home 3 to 6 hrs a day with no gaming break on the weekends he provides for his wife and child he even takes care of the child as needed and my uncle's wife doesn't complain she told me as long my uncle is providing for his family and not neglecting his responsibilities then I have no complains it's better than seeing him going out and returning at night mostly drunk.

For the story 4 : remember folks, always wear eyes protection or at least glasses AND gloves when you are manipulating chemical products !

Story 1: i had a similair thing happen to me when on my friends birthday party they invited this one girl we all absolutely hated so that we could get on good terms. She brought the mood down alot And i remember nothing from that party anymore

[@sir.confident]

Hey first OP! Are you in the DMV? We need to meet up. I'm also a Lego fan here. But I'm a town builder. I'm sorry for what happened at your lil bros bday. That's the only thing I hate about birthdays. There is always someone who comes and tries to ruin it. I remember one time, my sister (who is two years younger than me) had a party and this girl who picked on her crashed it. The fact that it was outside at a park didn't help our situation. Let's just say, that was the worse birthday party I've ever been to.

The way bro said chips🤓

[@I_FlyHigh]

OH MAN I LOVE THESE VIDS

[@Cyanability]

Honestly, for story number four, I would send her a small message just saying hi and asking how she’s been. Not pressuring her into answering her or even getting back into a relationship but just checking in and showing you still care

[@microphon1549]

Jake : *steals Batman figurines* Me : *pulls out a crowbar* You’re going to Jesus.

[@iamdoggo]

For the first story, 3 words. Kung fu style slap.

[@zanetmh]

Honestly I know that young kids always want to win (I was like that once, but I at least didn't throw a tantrum the second I started losing) I can imagine how that scene looked like: Announcer: Begin! The other kid: *hits his opponent ONCE* Jake: *unholy screeching and yeets controller to the ground*

[@timmythegodofthecaelumsupe74]

In the first story I don't think the kids friend wanted Jake to come along but was forced to take him.

[@TakingTheCheckerd]

Alright, let me tell yall a story So i live on a street with about 9 other kids, all younger then me, all my middle school friends live across town, so we are good friends we play outside and play games every afternoon after school, eveyone dosent mind if they lose EXEPT one kid named owen who lives at the end of the street. He is 6 and still acts like a baby and wants attention for small reasons. Whenever he loses the SMALLEST games, he cries his little eyes out. We try to let him win but we still do something that makes him cry. His mom is not a joy to be around because: when he gets mad and cries he tells his mom, so his mom comes out and tells us to stop being "mean and unfair" to him. Then she watches us play a round of the game we are currently playing. Then picks apart every little thing and lets him win. Dont comply with her? She texts your parents. My mom and the other moms have gotten so many complaints from her for playing "unfair" that we dont even invite him out anymore.

[@daxgoodman6729]

That reminds me of my two year old brother that when he sees something he REALLY WANTS he will cry about it forever until he gets it but he’s not so spoiled

[@Mini_Sentry_Gaming]

30-36 hours of playing a game is the bare minimum for a gamer

[@Alexbander-nk2hz]

The mother in the first story owes OP a new controller.

[@borgorofborgington]

You know Jake is a total bag of BS and also I wonder how these parents even invite them like the relationship between the OP and Jake seems very uhh how do I say this?Thin,yeah,Thin and I feel like OP should have got a say in the invite list for his B'day

[@workinprogress5011]

I’m also an avid Lego collector nice Collection you got Smaug!

Story 2: As an avid gamer myself I understand wanting to game most of the day and really enjoying it. it seems OP doesn't see it as a hobby when in reality it is, and it wouldn't be viewed so negatively if it was painting or reading. She says she likes watching him game but it seems there really isn't any true conversation about it. Maybe talk to him about his favorite games and why he likes them, take an interest and don't just be "oh he's gaming again." Maybe even try some multiplayer games with him! it's a hobby, it may help with stress relief, but taking an interest and wanting to be more involved rather than 'amusing herself' while he games may be a very good way to start breaking that barrier and maybe even help him game less, if that's what she wants.
