It seems that every time i press that Find Match button while playing Sc2 my parents suddenly have something for me to do heres some pictures to show you a basic example of it:

The main problem with it is that im 14 and i cant say no to anything they say

So to any TL'ers having a situation like this... How do you deal with it...

TL:DR: Really? Go look at the pictures you dont have to READ

Disconnect the internet wire. You get an extra 50 seconds or so before forfeit. Or write a program that constantly connect and disconnect the internet to give you even more time!

They honestly won't give you 10-20 minutes to finish the game first? It just sounds like bad luck, but if it seriously starts to annoy you then just tell them you'll do it after.

Sadly enough i cant tell them i do if after my parents are the kind that make any little excuse to make them do what you want such as if i say A moment please they just answer with Oh if you need a moment to take out the trash i just need a moment to cook when ur hungry and they just make a bunch of retarted shit up to make them do what they want.

This always happens to me as well. Parents are pretty annoying when it comes to this. Not much you can do

My bro always calls me to come outside the apartment to help him bring in the groceries. Happened like 5 times at least and I lost each game.

Nuh bro, you got to start acting like a man, say "I have asked you if you needed anything? Since you said no I am busy at the moment. I will take out the trash as soon as I am done." and if they say no, be like "Look, if you want me to be an adult, you have to treat me like one, as I said, I will take out the trash in a moment". Just stay firm and they'll back off

Talk to your parents about it, and explain to them that an SC2 game is much more important than a normal game of CoD. If they are even decent parents, they would respect your rights to have a fair chance at winning a match in a game you truly love, and would give you those extra few minutes before asking you to do an errand or chore.

You must have really forgiving parents.

I think the most ridiculous moment I had was:

5:30 got home from work. 5:45 got comfortable and turned on the pc. 5:50 searching for game, match found! 5 minutes into game, dad walks in "Your sister doesn't want to move here because she says you treat her bad, so I want you to find a new apartment"

It's like what the fuck, tell me this before I play my game. Not in the god damn middle of it. Needless to say I lost that game. Then slammed my face against my phone for the next hour, only to find out my Dad over-reacted to some comments.

Having a young toddler I can relate to this but in a different way. I either just ask for a pause if he comes running in for a cuddle or something.

If the guy is a douche, I just leave and move on when I can. Doesn't happen enough to bother me too much as I generally play SC2 when he is in bed for the evening.

I agree with Arsen's comment though. My parents treated me like an adult and were pretty forgiving but not all parents are like that I suppose. You did ask them beforehand and they said no, so you've got a right to explain yourself as he mentioned.

Good to see you at least have respect for them unlike some of the punks I see these days.
Just a simple guy, going wherever this journey takes me.
