[Mummydarlz12]

I Absolutely hate fortnite! my ds(12) Threw a glass at me!,i told the cheeky little sod no more fortnite,Well that set him off.it was all effing and jeffing all bloody night long,i swear by the end of it i wanted to start drinking again! in the end i just said nope,and took the the gamestation or whatever.he is now tring to act good to get his games back,AIBU?
thanks in advance

No you’re absolutely not being unreasonable.

If my son through a glass at me it would be a permanent ban. Seriously, the damn thing would be getting sold.

threw*

Thank you,i might take that into consideration.

Nope you done the right thing- and STICK TO IT!!! Done it with my 13 year old- a week of no xbox means he’s been a darling 90% of the time on it. Just have to remind him now and then,that he has head phones, so does his friends:- therefore he does not need to shout!

Although mine did not throw a glass.....

you don't have a fortnite problem, you have a moody dc problem.
get him to do some chores, limit screentime to one hour a day and get him outside to run off steam every day,

Thanks,he was always shouting aswell,always on about something else every time!

Thats a bloody good piece of advice actually !i'll look into tha !thanks!

This sounds like a much bigger issue. Definitely take Fortnite away if that's the thing that makes him stop and think, but throwing a glass at you is a pretty serious thing for a 12 year old to do.

I think she has a fortnite problem as well

@biggerboat1 Thank you for that! Really helps.

I hate Fucking Fortnite!! My 11 year old spends a couple of hours a day yelling instructions into a headset - drives me insane. Luckily he had a friend round this afternoon so they played it together and there was less yelling as his friend was sat next to him lol. On a serious note though, definately a ban for throwing the glass

My life is so much calmer since my Ds's PlayStation died. Fortnite was ruining our lives, my son is also a lot calmer and happier in general.
Not what you asked but seriously, consider getting rid.

How Bloody rude!

such a child.go do something else with your time please.

My DS currently has ps4 controller and phone locked away for being rude and disrespectful to me. It's lovely. Or So Unfair depending on whether you are me or DS

YDNBU, I cannot stand that game. The youngest ( nearly 12) has got a permanent Xbox/ Fortnite ban as is an absolute nightmare on it, miserable as hell whilst on and when has come off. Has started doing the throwing stuff too! I'm not standing for that so it's gone for him. I'd get rid altogether but ds1 is fine on it, so wouldn't be fair on him.

Time off is a good thing but I do think it needs to be a learning experience in respecting his mother. I don't believe in depriving children of things they enjoy permanently but you need to be sure he really gets that respect is a two way street

Think your a good shot lad, come watch your mums. And with that the whole bloody Xbox and games would be in the wheely bin with a bucket of water over it for good measure.

No bloody way is that acceptable. He does realise if he was to throw a tantrum and throw a glass at someone in a public place the police would be perfectly reasonable to take him in.
Some would say its harsh, maybe I am, but I would not be having this happen because they have been brought up to realise that no1 it's not on. No2 it really won't end well with mum will it.

I heard a good piece of advice regarding restricting fortnite in that it's better to restrict it by number of battles rather than time. I've found this reduces the arguments. Most battles last around 15 minutes - some only 2 but that's how it goes and my Son is accepting of that - much more than asking him to end a game half way through.

This doesn't excuse your Sons behaviour at all but may help going forward.

@bettycat81 Actually that's a good idea. Say you get one battle a day. It's their job to get better at the game to make that time last so you're doing them a favour

What's throwing a glass got to do with fortnite?
