Kind reminder that Marcus Aurelius, Mr. Wise Old White Guy, raised the worst son imaginable. And gave him the Empire, too.
He means being betrayed by your loved ones for a drop of clout on a cambodian storytelling communityWhen does the world rip your creations from you for being late to do nothing in particular?
This way leads to the child learning to evaluate risk vs rewards, and the mentality of anything being okay so long as they are not caught. It should have been enough that the father was disappointed. The threat of consequences should have been unnecessary; the disappointment having already happened, and being consequence enough.The parent is all kinds of dumb for not spelling the consequence out explicitly too.
It's actually biological, yes. Children are specifically wired to wake up later. Scientists have already questioned the logic of having school start so early as a result.I had massive trouble getting up early as a kid as well. Maybe the fucking issue lies with the kid not being a morning person goddam.
Run this by me again, please.

Many oldschool games were basically Insomnia Games. Games like Tradewars, BRE, SRE, Utopia, etc., mostly revolved around being compulsively awake, CAN'T SLEEP, CLOWN WILL EAT ME. Going to sleep could result in your entire empire being destroyed while you weren't looking, as sleep was seen as a sign of weakness and invitation to attack. Some of those newer crafting-world survival games sort of recapture this insomnia feel, where everything you built will be destroyed by others if you go to sleep, so instead you sit awake sleeplessly camping with your sniper rifle to shoot anyone who tries.

I really think murdering kid's puppy with a fucking lawnmower would help put the point across.Okay, fine. For some reason (the work on a farm, right?) they have to wake up at 7am.
Unplug the god damned computer and hide it from the kid. The issue any sane person has here is not the enforcement of discipline or a schedule; the issue is that the parent deleted a year's worth of creativity. What is the fucking point of that?
"Son, you have to wake up on schedule. If you don't, I will destroy your cherished creations." When does this happen in real life? When does a novelist or a photographer have all of his shit confiscated and destroyed because he can't pay his bills or is late to his job at some bullshit restaurant? That's not even what fucking happens. You shove your USB into your pockets and realize you can't be late to work and you live in your car or on the streets until you can crash on a friend's couch or save enough for a new place.
This parent resents their child's creativity. I always thought my parents were assholes because they didn't give a damn about my writing and wanted me to be a good student with a nice, normal job. But they never took my books or my writing and fucking burned them to destroy my sense of self and my sense of being creative.
If you don't think that's what this parent is doing, destroying this child's sense of uniqueness and creativity, you are fucking idiotic.
It's not like they have many alternatives these days.the real parenting mistake here is letting your 9 year old spend huge amounts of time on videogames in the first place.
Should have bought him console instead, amirite?The biggest mistake the parents did was giving their child access to the PC in the first place.
That really depends on how a person's biological clock is set up.I see no way that you can force yourself to wake up at a specific time just by willing it especially not if youre a 9 year old.

Sure getting kid to read or draw, or play with something like physical legos would have been preferable.

9yo or not.
As I type, my son is reciting the Presidents of the USA in chronological order.
Some people can actually set up a pretty accurate alarm clock in their minds.That really depends on how a person's biological clock is set up.
9yo or not.
I dont think that matters. If your clock says you need y-x amount of sleep you need that and everything out of that will not let you wake up. If I myself for example only get 4-5 hours of sleep theres a good risk I sleep through a clock or wake up but only long enough to go back to sleep. what does she expect him to do, tell himself a thousand times to please wake up at seven every night?
