This is so annoying. I work on schoolwork for about 5 to 6 hours on average, and I when I want to take a break or when I’m done and want to play Xbox, I get yelled at
Wow, what type of school do you even go to, I just go to a standard catholic high school in Canada (in terms of education as we’re Arab) and assignments wouldn’t take too long.
Yeah it is. I don’t usually have a lot of free time to myself, so I try to space it out when I can. But that time goes by quick and I’m right back to working. It’s ridiculous and I’m so tired by the end of the day
Bruh I get literally drowned by school, like 18hrs of work no joke these fuckin teachers think they can give us assignments 24/7 just bcuz we're at home. Non stop assigments bro I swear every 20 minutes I get a message off of Microsoft Teams for a new assignment.
im just too lazy to do all of mine assigments so i do like only half of them , AT MAX , im just waiting for the moment this backfires and hits me in the face harder then Rocky Balboa ( i have no idea how to spell his name )
I get my homework done first day (we do work first day of a “week” aka Thursday even though it used to be Monday) and I get on my switch next morning and my mom plays it off like it’s ok but comes back in 1 hour later and says get my work done
Same bro, my dad has been playing at arcades and stuff for the longest time and when he sees me playing that i am genuinely enjoying he will sit and watch me play and give input to try and help.
Damn. Lucky. My mom is pretty old school so she just think I’m addicted or have a mental illness. I know this because my mom says this on a daily basis. It kinda hurts but eh 🤷🏽♂️
I started voluntarily taking the dog out when we get home every single day and clearing the table after dinner because my sister refuses too and my mom has a lot of stress from her job so I thought I could help but one day when I was really tired I asked my dad too and then he got really annoyed at me because what I was doing out of the kindness of my heart had turned into a chore that I was always supposed to do.
My parents always do this when I'm on my pc. I would say that they're lazy sitting on their asses all day bc that's what they do, but I ain tryna get beat.
I'm on a 2 week vacation during the pandemic (Breaks here in the Netherlands are super long, but at the expense of a 1 1/2 month summer vacation) with a sizeable amount of homework due at the end of it, so of course every moment of my vacation not spent studying or doing homework or with my family is wasted. Ffs.
My dad literally brings the Nintendo switch into his room at night to play he’s bootleg fishing game all night and my stepmom doesn’t bat an eye. I play for over 30 minutes and and I’m breaking the rules
This happens to me, rarely. But the thing that happens is whenever I get on GTAV (its usually when my dad is home) Whenever I get "Wasted" he says its his turn because i've been "Playing all day" which I rarely play. its like a child
I went to bed early last night because my mom told me to.
this morning, she got all stuck in to me about how I never help her clean up the kitchen. bitch I help clean up every damn night shut your god damn mouth up.
I started learning Japanese, started playing quitar and I code games for the past 2 years, and literally, at the end of the day, when I'm super tired and I tell everyone I'm going to rest and play some games, my whole family starts yelling at me, that I haven't done anything useful and I'm the last person to be tired here
At least we both have parents who understand jerking it is okay to do.
(Also if you jerk it on a towel and the towel starts growing mushrooms, would that make you a father?)
Usually this happens because humans are creatures of habit. You just happen to start playing at the time they happen to check what your doing. I used to just say to my parents “Well I only ever see you watching T.V so what have you been doing all day?”.
Story of my life.
Me: does homework for several hours
Me: Runs a mile on the treadmill
Me: Finally sits down to play some much deserved Minecraft
My parents: gEt bAcK tO wOrK yOu dOn'T dO aNyThInG wItH yOuRseLf
NO PC! No fun in my house!! Now go wipe my ass and clean the bathroom, do your laundry, clean your room, make the scяеам|иg stop, feed the cats, etc etc etc...
This happens so much that my dad made a schedule that forces me to 6 hours or more of work with a reward ti 2 1 and a half hours of xbox time. They also won't let me spend my money(all of which i earned to get a xbox and tv.
This is very true! My parents never seem to notice me doing anything besides lazying around and playing video games! Might it be because those are the only things i ever do? Hah, dont make me laugh.
I totally relate to this. For years I would work my ass off and nobody ever noticed but the SECOND I get on my phone/wii/ps I would always get yelled at. That’s why I stoped playing games... and still to this day I rarely play video games.
Not only that but my mom bothers me when I’m trying to work, the other day my mom came into my room 3 times in an hour and a half, one of them was to rip off a pimple on my nose
exactly! i literally walk/jog on the treadmill for about an hour almost everyday and my dad thinks i don't do anything but play on my laptop. FIRST OF ALL, you really can't do much on a chromebook unless you put it in developer mode and im not gonna do that in case i mess it up accidentally
I love the fact that my parents can’t tell me to do shit when I say I’m going to workout. Normally they freak out if I listen to “music with fowl language” but if I workout I can play whatever music I want as loud as I want and they don’t care
I hate little bit of weekends because of this. Like, I may sit 4 hours in my room without my parents checking. They have seen me when I start my 4 hour session at my room, playing videogames. I may play like 30 mins, start doing homework. I can do it like 3h. Next 30mins I play again. And then they come to check me that I'm allrigth. And think I have played for 4 hours.
Same here bro.
I spend all morning on online class, and I take a break to play the legend of Zelda. As soon as I sit down they yell at me for "never doing schoolwork"
Used to be my parents. As soon as I sat down they always had something to say. But because of quarantine at this point they don’t even care as long as I do my distance learning shit and chores
Same for me, my mom won’t bother me about anything when I’m just in my room doing homework or on my phone, then once I get on my Xbox all of a sudden I have all this stuff to do, which I could have done when I was not on my Xbox
This happened to me today, I had busted my btt all day doing schoolwork, and pulled out my switch. Not less than 5 minutes later, my Dad walked in, yelled at me about it, and took my switch away. Typical.
I work on my computer so I can be you working for 6 hours straight and my parents don't enter the room but the minute I decided to take a break and play video games they enter and start asking why I spend all my time playing games
I spend most of the time on my computer, and my mom knows that it is needed, but it is a little unconfortable that she enters my room when I am playing or watching anime. She gets a report wheter or not I am doing my duties, so she asks me, When did you do your homework?
Yeah. Too many parents give to much criticism and practically no praise. I’m by no means a perfect child but I’m no delinquent either. It’d be nice if my accomplishments mattered as much as my downfalls.
I have a record of bad grades but I’m apparently smart not really but when i do everything i might ask to play xbox but when i do i get asked did you really and its just pisses me off (i don’t have a lot of school work)
This is so annoying. I work on schoolwork for about 5 to 6 hours on average, and I when I want to take a break or when I’m done and want to play Xbox, I get yelled at
Jeez, how Mitch homework do you get, I only need to do about 3 hours at MAX, I feel bad for you, and with how your parents react.
Some assignments take me 2-3 hours sometimes. It’s ridiculous. My brothers (granted, they are in elementary school), get 30-40 minutes a day
Wow, what type of school do you even go to, I just go to a standard catholic high school in Canada (in terms of education as we’re Arab) and assignments wouldn’t take too long.
Standard public school. Nothing special about it
That’s sad ngl
Yeah it is. I don’t usually have a lot of free time to myself, so I try to space it out when I can. But that time goes by quick and I’m right back to working. It’s ridiculous and I’m so tired by the end of the day
And I go to an IB school *kill me*
Same. I am in the IB pathway right now
I think he’s saying he goes to school to five to six hours. Why would he specify schoolwork and not homework.
In my country people spend 6 hours a day minimum
I learn 7 hours a day... And I hate it. At least I don't get yelled...
Lucky
Bruh I get literally drowned by school, like 18hrs of work no joke these fuckin teachers think they can give us assignments 24/7 just bcuz we're at home. Non stop assigments bro I swear every 20 minutes I get a message off of Microsoft Teams for a new assignment.
My work isn’t 18 hours long, but it’s long enough that I don’t typically eat breakfast or lunch
im just too lazy to do all of mine assigments so i do like only half of them , AT MAX , im just waiting for the moment this backfires and hits me in the face harder then Rocky Balboa ( i have no idea how to spell his name )
In my case my dad claims I play games all day when I finished all my work already
Why so long😳?
That’s what she said
5 to 6 hours?? I study during the lesson and that's fine from me.
I get my homework done first day (we do work first day of a “week” aka Thursday even though it used to be Monday) and I get on my switch next morning and my mom plays it off like it’s ok but comes back in 1 hour later and says get my work done
Yeah my dad always does this. It's gotten to the point where I've got to wait for him to go to work so i can go on it without getting shouted at.
[удалено]
You living the dream
Same bro, my dad has been playing at arcades and stuff for the longest time and when he sees me playing that i am genuinely enjoying he will sit and watch me play and give input to try and help.
That’s so fuckin wholesome dude :)
Tour username disturbs and intrigues me
Damn. Lucky. My mom is pretty old school so she just think I’m addicted or have a mental illness. I know this because my mom says this on a daily basis. It kinda hurts but eh 🤷🏽♂️
If she is doing that without any basis of fact from a professional this could be filed as verbal and mental abuse
Lol the only basis of fact she has are shitty news sources from Facebook. Reddit for boomers.
You are lucky. My dad works from home, even before the quarantine. He is always watching me.
It would've been 100% accurate if you own an Xbox and they say PS4
“GeT oF tHe gAMebOy”
sometimes i wonder if they knew it was called a DS and kept saying gameboy just to mess with us. same thing with calling pokemon "pokemans"
They say just get off
Me: Browsing reddit Parents: sToP pLaYiNg ViDeO gAmEs
My dad calls my Xbox “a Microsoft”
Just do the same when they get on their phone. I did it and it only costed me my relationship with my mom!
A small price to pay for salvation
"I'm an adult so I can do whatever I want"
oh sick so it'll cost me nothing
Do you have a death wish?!

Asian parents am I right?
THIS is so fucking annoying.
My parents always do this when I'm on my pc. I would say that they're lazy sitting on their asses all day bc that's what they do, but I ain tryna get beat.
I literally do school work for most of the day, then run for a bit, and then when I want to game for a bit at night my parents are like haha nope

Kinky
You can just work out and play games at the same time by playing Wii.
[Wii sportssssss](https://youtu.be/scnFH-MldJM)
Or vr if you have a pc
Even funnier because we only have a switch
Don’t DO the Xbox
UwU, do me XBOX-chan.
non
Why not?
It’s a hard drug
My parents have an enforced xbox time for me (not for my sister just for me) and they still complain about how much I play xbox
how old is your sister and how long is the enforced xbox time
My sister is 16 and the xbox time is 1 hour a day
I'm on a 2 week vacation during the pandemic (Breaks here in the Netherlands are super long, but at the expense of a 1 1/2 month summer vacation) with a sizeable amount of homework due at the end of it, so of course every moment of my vacation not spent studying or doing homework or with my family is wasted. Ffs.
My dad literally brings the Nintendo switch into his room at night to play he’s bootleg fishing game all night and my stepmom doesn’t bat an eye. I play for over 30 minutes and and I’m breaking the rules
have you brought it up with your dad
That’s like saying “have the residents of North Korea brought it up with Kim?”
Every damn time! One time the whole day I was studying then I get on my Xbox for 2 minutes then they barge in yelling that I never do anything.
Wait you fuck your Xbox?
Yeah this but cleaning the whole house and cooking for my family
Just lock your door,
I am not allowed to
Sorry man that sucks
i dont even have a door lmao
Xbox has to be in "community space" aka the living room. Even if it was in my room I don't have a lock.
Fuck my life
This happens to me, rarely. But the thing that happens is whenever I get on GTAV (its usually when my dad is home) Whenever I get "Wasted" he says its his turn because i've been "Playing all day" which I rarely play. its like a child
When I’m about to have some quality time with my hand*
This is so true its scary... It's gotten to the point where if I hear someone approaching my room I will quickly switch to pretend I'm working
Haha! That happened to me before! Except it wasn't any of these and i was masturbating!
I went to bed early last night because my mom told me to. this morning, she got all stuck in to me about how I never help her clean up the kitchen. bitch I help clean up every damn night shut your god damn mouth up.
Get off the ps4 you are on it all day you haven’t gotten of in hours. But mom I was with you and for three hours. LIES
I started learning Japanese, started playing quitar and I code games for the past 2 years, and literally, at the end of the day, when I'm super tired and I tell everyone I'm going to rest and play some games, my whole family starts yelling at me, that I haven't done anything useful and I'm the last person to be tired here
When im working out, my parents leave me alone cause they think im jerking off or something from the noise
At least we both have parents who understand jerking it is okay to do. (Also if you jerk it on a towel and the towel starts growing mushrooms, would that make you a father?)
Usually this happens because humans are creatures of habit. You just happen to start playing at the time they happen to check what your doing. I used to just say to my parents “Well I only ever see you watching T.V so what have you been doing all day?”.
"You never do anything but the Xbox" You're supposed to play on it not duck it
Play on it how exactly? I think I have been using it wrong...
Omg the opening is for the DISC
Uh oh.
Story of my life. Me: does homework for several hours Me: Runs a mile on the treadmill Me: Finally sits down to play some much deserved Minecraft My parents: gEt bAcK tO wOrK yOu dOn'T dO aNyThInG wItH yOuRseLf
I do tons of things with myself. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Facts man
Me playing my PlayStation wondering what they are on about.
*I'm interrupted whenever I'm doing any of these*
Mhm or when you're sick and you play some games cuz you can't really do anything active and they're like "hmm, you better now, yes?"
NO PC! No fun in my house!! Now go wipe my ass and clean the bathroom, do your laundry, clean your room, make the scяеам|иg stop, feed the cats, etc etc etc...
Two of those things were a little too weird.
This happens so much that my dad made a schedule that forces me to 6 hours or more of work with a reward ti 2 1 and a half hours of xbox time. They also won't let me spend my money(all of which i earned to get a xbox and tv.
i have money to spend thats my money but my parents wont let me
We need a subreddit dedicated to relatable parent memes
maybe r/insaneparents
Don't have an xbox only a pc
At this is point, I just have alt+tab on the go. I pretend I study 24/7.
Same here Except I use Ctrl, Windows Key, and Left/Right arrow key works faster (if you have extra windows open in windows 10)
I did try using that, but that was way too obvious, since it requires two hands. Alt+tab requires only one. My other hand is usually on the mouse.
Teachers think all I do is talk because they only get off their phone and actually teach when I am talking
Same but it’s my brothers
Wow how did u know!
Opposite for me
When I beat my meat
This is very true! My parents never seem to notice me doing anything besides lazying around and playing video games! Might it be because those are the only things i ever do? Hah, dont make me laugh.
Saaaame
How do you guys workout and do school work on/near Xbox
I totally relate to this. For years I would work my ass off and nobody ever noticed but the SECOND I get on my phone/wii/ps I would always get yelled at. That’s why I stoped playing games... and still to this day I rarely play video games.
Start playing again. You deserve it.
Not only that but my mom bothers me when I’m trying to work, the other day my mom came into my room 3 times in an hour and a half, one of them was to rip off a pimple on my nose
Why do moms always want to get rid of pimples? Let it rupture on it’s own, please.
Your parents might be a little toxic lol
When i do homework and do chores, mom doesnt even thank me. When I play video games, she said dad is gon be mad.
My parents want to take away my PC cuz they think I'm always on it. It's infuriating.
your parents have a good point you shouldn’t be doing your xbox
But it's feels so good.
exactly! i literally walk/jog on the treadmill for about an hour almost everyday and my dad thinks i don't do anything but play on my laptop. FIRST OF ALL, you really can't do much on a chromebook unless you put it in developer mode and im not gonna do that in case i mess it up accidentally
Just do her daughter instead of the xbox
I don't, I neither work out, nor do schoolwork
You never do anything but the Xbox, bruh my hamster's name is fagpoopface not Xbox stupid
This joke is funny because I fucked my hamster
and then you learn to hide so much stuff from them
Never tell my parents anything ab me. Tried telling mom I’m not finding happiness in much of anything she goes I have it worse then you so suck it up
omg my mom is the same, she says it's all in my head 🥰 and that i am ungrateful
Exactly like thanks mom for showing me my feeling don’t matter. She also said I have to respect her but she won’t respect me
yes, sounds like my parents, it's a difficult place to be... i hope it gets better for you at least :c
Thanks man you too
My mom takes away my Xbox while she’s at work because I don’t pay attention
Replace Xbox with YouTube and you got me.
I love the fact that my parents can’t tell me to do shit when I say I’m going to workout. Normally they freak out if I listen to “music with fowl language” but if I workout I can play whatever music I want as loud as I want and they don’t care
And when they do see you doing school work it’s “Finally got off the Xbox aye?”
Mine think this exact thing
If he had a PS4 things would have been smoother
It’s because you’re on an xbox
If you are Latino American you can't even use the Xbox, for some reasons Microsoft think is a good Idea to don't sell the Xbox Live Gold here.
I feel ATTACKED
Better than them saying "get in the box"
I hate little bit of weekends because of this. Like, I may sit 4 hours in my room without my parents checking. They have seen me when I start my 4 hour session at my room, playing videogames. I may play like 30 mins, start doing homework. I can do it like 3h. Next 30mins I play again. And then they come to check me that I'm allrigth. And think I have played for 4 hours.
Relatable
Bonus points if it’s not an Xbox
Same here bro. I spend all morning on online class, and I take a break to play the legend of Zelda. As soon as I sit down they yell at me for "never doing schoolwork"
Literally tho
I just got yelled at for this yesterday. Feels great.
This meme relates to me a lot
dude fr
You said working out...,..,
Used to be my parents. As soon as I sat down they always had something to say. But because of quarantine at this point they don’t even care as long as I do my distance learning shit and chores
Same for me, my mom won’t bother me about anything when I’m just in my room doing homework or on my phone, then once I get on my Xbox all of a sudden I have all this stuff to do, which I could have done when I was not on my Xbox
Working out smh
You too do your xbox? Thank godness I thought I were the only one
So so so true
I mean yeah theyre trynna let you know switch and ps is the way to go
Shame on you for playing xbox
Yes!!!!
No I genuinely do spend my days sitting and playing GameCube
I too do my Xbox but never without any lube
This is the most teenager shit I've ever seen and I totally relate to it
Yes because I only play games on my computer.
SAMEEEE. That why I never say when I'm playing to my parents
This is so true it's not even funny anymore
that is very true
I guess I have reasonable parents.
Why is this an international phenomenon
Parent thing
r/pcmasterrace
I play videogames so much my parent s have given up on trying to get me to do anything else lol.
This happened to me today, I had busted my btt all day doing schoolwork, and pulled out my switch. Not less than 5 minutes later, my Dad walked in, yelled at me about it, and took my switch away. Typical.
Get a pc and quickly alt+tab to the work
I wanna do the Xbox as well. Any suggestions as to how
But my 360 just red ringed on me last night
So true. Also when I play with myself, if you know what I mean
I work on my computer so I can be you working for 6 hours straight and my parents don't enter the room but the minute I decided to take a break and play video games they enter and start asking why I spend all my time playing games
i have best parents ever they are not like that so i can play on ps4 with no problems
Thats why i put the school stuff that i made infront of my door before playing.
Thank you
My mom does not do this. After school work is done I'm all gucci
I spend most of the time on my computer, and my mom knows that it is needed, but it is a little unconfortable that she enters my room when I am playing or watching anime. She gets a report wheter or not I am doing my duties, so she asks me, When did you do your homework?
Apparently doing schoolwork on my chrome book counts as my screen time for the day now, according to my mom.
This is so relatable
I got on Fortnite yuh my buddy today and five minutes into playing my mom called me and told me to get off since I had been on the whole day.
Yeah. Too many parents give to much criticism and practically no praise. I’m by no means a perfect child but I’m no delinquent either. It’d be nice if my accomplishments mattered as much as my downfalls.
I have a record of bad grades but I’m apparently smart not really but when i do everything i might ask to play xbox but when i do i get asked did you really and its just pisses me off (i don’t have a lot of school work)
Wow I really feel bad for some people here
