Who is unreasonable here?

[Lovethetimeyouhave]

A invites the other two members of the family to a game of street fighter on xbox.

(Previous games have consisted of A beating the other members of the family up so fast, in 20 seconds and less, that they have complained about it and said they dont want to play anymore, one member is 7 years old)

B said they they will play

A then goes "actually no all you two do is moan"

An argument follows as B argued that A could fight less heavily handed and A says that means that thwy should just let the others beat them up and that's not fun.

A then has refused to play at all until others learn to play better without agreeing they could play for fun and let the others hit them at all.

This is actually a minor ridiculous issue on the face of it. But the family is divided.

A is better at the game than B, tough shit. That's life. People are better than others at things. A shouldn't need to play shit just so he can play with B because that's what B wants. If B wants to play that particular game with A they need to put in the practice and get better, otherwise play a different game.

I'm B, I just tell A I don't want to play his stupid games.

Don't play. Bin the game.

Can you really be in a relationship with a child? Dad needs to grow up.

A is a twat, B and the child should refuse to play with them

Put them all outside to play chasies. It’s a nice day. Yes I know two of them are adults. Advice remains the same.

Haha @joxer I am always out in the garden playing with ds while B sits inside.

So you’re dad who doesn’t have any friends his own age to whoop on Xbox do resort to making your child feel like shite?

A is a dick for inviting people to play purely so they could then refuse them. B is entitled to not want to play a game that’s no fun for them. Everyone in this scenario sounds like a whiny child, and perhaps all are not mature enough for the Xbox anyway.

You lost me at x box

A is your husband?! OMG please no

Oh wow a is the adult Male in this scenario. How utterly pathetic.

Ok yes agree children need to learn to lose and get better. However if you know you have an unfair advantage then you should calm down your gaming slightly. Perhaps a ban on using super/power moves or Play blindfolded.

Or like I said earlier... play Mario kart

A is super pathetic. When I read the post I assumed you were talking about kids!

I think A needs to have some time away from computer games until he can understand that pushing buttons is really no form of achievement to be proud of (or to lord over others) and maybe have a think about why his self-esteem is such that he feels to need to attack a child to make himself feel better.

This is absurd!! If A were a sibling or friend as I thought then it’s kind of fair enough. A being the parent is just 😱 that’s so sad!

That is all terrible! A needs to step up and be a father. Refusing to play with a child unless it's an unsuitable, violent X-Box game at which he can win. You should think hard about what this child is learning and being exposed to. He WILL copy the behaviour of adult role models.

Regarding the game age, it is literally the only game A will play with child

So A just wants to beat his child and partner online in 20 secs flat. Why? How can that possibly feel good for anyone? Where's the challenge aspect?

Tell A no-one wants to play with him with his attitude, and go off and do something more fun with your DC.

A is a twat who needs to grow up.

My DH plays games on the xbox with DS who is 6. They play the age appropriate lego games and DH lets DS take the lead. Seriously, what sort of saddo gets their kicks out of beating a 7 year old who wants to play with them in seconds?
