I can't expect you to make yourselves unhappy just for the sake of my happiness.
I don't blame you at all for speaking your mind, telling us how you feel, and wanting to be happy and have fun. Obviously, you don't fucking care, and that's okay- it sucks for me, but I GET it. Far be it from me to demand that you spend an entire day of your lives, every week, doing something you're not happy about.
What I WOULD like from you is some goddamn empathy.
Is that too much to ask? I've put myself in your shoes, I've VALIDATED your emotions, your thoughts, and your desires. I've looked at the world through your eyes and told you, "I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM. I'M SORRY."
Is it too much to fucking ask for a scrap of compassion? For a shred of understanding? Can I have my feelings validated once in a while? GODDAMNIT?
Instead of acting like spoiled children storming home because you didn't get to play your way, could you have- I don't know- brought up your thoughts and concerns in a more constructive, RATIONAL way? Maybe stopped for a minute to think, or taken some time to figure out what was REALLY going on, before you jumped to conclusions and pointed fingers?
Or maybe actually listened to what I actually had to SAY about the whole thing? You're more than willing to listen to me when I'm telling you that I understand how you feel, when I'm stroking your injured pride and smoothing your ruffled feathers.
But the minute I open my mouth to speak a word in my defense, to explain how the world looks from MY perspective... I COULDN'T SAY THREE WORDS WITHOUT BEING INTERRUPTED.
OH, and maybe, while you were being all open and honest and truthful (read: angry, irrational, spoiled assholes) you should've been honest about what the REAL issue was.
You'd rather be at home, playing/watching someone play the "new great game" that is going to dominate your entire lives from now on. Your next WoW fix, since you've already worn yourself out on it. Just like a fucking drug addict who just found their latest buzz.
I want the world to fucking burn.

I'm not a gamer, but I married one, and there is NO talking to them about it, unless you're agreeing.. otherwise, they defend their point of view if though their lives depend on it... in a way, I suppose it does... just not the one that matters the most.
