No prior announcment from the school, they give my 7 year old a sticker for 10 free tokens for Chuck E Cheese, if he goes tonight.

Now #1 This is last minute and I hate last minute shit.

#2 This kid will game through 10 tokens in 10 minutes and then he will be looking at my money is tight ass for more.


So now I have a crying little boy and I feel like shit about having to say no. I can't yell at him to zip it without being a dick. I can't give him what he wants without using gas and definatly spending money budgeted for other shit. Not to mention the 10 year old and 3 year old will expect to go as well. I know I'd walk out of there at least $20-$30 poorer and right now that matters alot more than when Bush was in office and I'd throw twice that on a whim to make them smile.

Catch 22. Fuckers could have let us know a week or better yet 2 weeks before and I would have been glad to take him and drop another $10 -15 to make him happy. I would have allowed for it and sacrificed from my own wants and needs.

Fucking emotional blackmail! When others try it with me they find out how fucking cold I can get but the shit gets me when it's my little boy or girl.

Not understanding what the timing has to do with the amount of money you spend.

Simple. If I know a week or 2 before then I can budget for it. You hit me the very day of and I have allrewady budgeted for other things.

Shit is tight and I can't just fuck around. Got to be disciplined.

I’m glad my kids are no longer in their Chuck E. Cheese years.

First of all, the pizza blows. CEC pizza makes Papa John’s, Domino’s, and Little Caeser’s taste like some gourmet shit, in comparison. Hell, it’s not as good as one of those Chef Boyardee pizza kits.

Second, every time I’ve ever been it’s nothing but redneck white trash and niggers. The only place where you can see more EBT card swipes is at one of Hebrew Hammer’s strategically located convenience stores (aka, Goldstein’s NigraMart). The only people at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant who get a W-2 are the Mexicans in the back whipping up that sorry pizza, and the decent customers who made the mistake of going there instead of Celebration Station. There’s nothing more hilarious than seeing a table full of upscale, tight assed, white breads get seated right next to a filthy hoard of ghetto birds. Fucking LaQuita with her red tipped dreads yelling at her kids from all the way across the joint, “Marshawn…MARSHAWN…git yo ass off dat helicopta and let dat lil white boy have a turn…DON’T MAKE ME COME OVA DERE!”.

Third, who in the motherfucking love of Christ would take a RODENT and make it a mascot for a restaurant. Never understood that. Personally, I don’t allow mice and rats around my food, eating utensils, etc. Hard for me to eat at a restaurant where the anthropomorphic cartoon mascot is the same thing that spread the bubonic plague across half the globe.

Seriously, sorry to hear that you got put in a tough financial spot. I think 2013 is going to be tough, and we’ve already decided to really cut back.

I fucking hate the food, I usually dont eat anything there or get the inflated but decent sald bar and suck down Mtn Dew's. And they can be everyhing you described and more. Ours is not that bad and it's an easy good time for the kids, but I like to plan shit out.

Not crying but shit is hard right now. I'll make it through if I got to kill some motherfucker to do it, but I sure am extremly intolerent of any Obama worship in my pressence. It's no longer a simple difference of opinions, that fucker is out to destroy those of us who would rather work then get from the tit.

Good luck to you.

Kids aren't stupid but they are emotional. I grew up being told "no we have to work" my kids don't have it as tough but I sure as hell don't hesitate to put the kibosh on stupid shit.

Next time you go, take him to this one. He won't want to go anymore.

The fuck? How is Obama responsible for this? Are you Andy36 now?

About half the food ends up in the dumpster out back. Just sayin'

Darth, you should just kill all of the administration at the school.

DARTH, give me your paypal address and password. I'll be sure you get some money so you can take your kid to chuck e fuckin cheese

That blows. Do you have the funds to give them a movie night at home? Make homemade personal pizzas with them (they like kneading the dough), let them pick whatever crazy toppings they want, make popcorn, maybe ice cream, let them pick a movie and rent/OnDemand/Netflix it, move furniture around, throw a blanket on the floor in front of the screen and eat and watch. A lot cheaper and is a treat to kids if it isn't the the sort of thing you do normally. Could do the same thing with a game night, where you all play video games or board games if you have them. The kids are the age where they find all that fun if you sell it right, and they get more one-on-one time with you. My parents did things like that instead of taking us to Chuck E. Cheese or similar and I remember it fondly.

Dylan, don't sweat it brother. Most people have been in your shoes at one time or another. I know i have.

The little guy will be OK. Plus the games absolutely suck at Chucky Cheese. Borrow an Xbox 360 or similar (if you don't have one) and have a game night. Pretty much any Xbox game beats the shitty games at Chucky Cheese.

Great idea. Kids will learn more from this if done in a calm manner.

(edit): I'm changing to now agreeing with Mickey instead.

You shouldn`t let Mickey clever use of half nekkid women make you choose his suggestion instead.

I've seen tough stretches too, Darth. Just remember, like it or not, we are nearly always responsible for where we sit, good, bad or ugly. Hang in there, brother!

It's not that I can't afford the Rat Cage, we go there often enough, it's just the way one has to be tight with their shit the last 4 years that you can't just go with it when something likes this drops in your lap. That and a fucking school that does not think 1- 2 weeks ahead before offering this shit to your kid and putting you on the spot.


I told him he gets a high mark on his behaivior chart today then he and I will go after school. And I will then show him how fast he blows through 10 tokens, give him 10 more and then leave when he's blown through those. We are not eaten that shit pizza and I want to get out before the Mexican invasion happens around 5.

We do movie night all the time. Kids kill all the lights and say the house is their theater and then try to charge me.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean????? He doesn't have a gubmint job like you with all the perks and security. Just be thankful Obumbastard is taking good care of your dumb ass and shut your rug munchin mouf!!

I don't have a gubmint job, I'm a full-time wet nurse with no gubmint perks, so you can shut your whore mouf.

Darth, I'm curious as to how Obama being president has personally financially impacted you.

Well somebody is taking care of your worthless ass. Is Zombo still around?
