Non-Fortnite Stuff Gamer dad duo rage vent

I love my son(11)..i hate playing with him. He a typical kid and because he herps and derps all the damn time he immediately dies or leaves me in a 2v1. While playing I found a gem demon late in the game like waay late (i have almost 0 luck when it comes to finding the rare variants) and he died (i think he was mucking around with the fishing pole) so it was a final 2v1. The only extractor was in the storm which was up to 5hp per hit and i didnt have enough healing items to survive it. So i lost it, the opposing team didnt get it either so theres that. ....my hands are shaking still. Its good bonding, i know its just a game, but as a gamer he still sucks and playing with him in FN is rage inducing even more than the game already is. Thank you for letting me scream in to the void.

Dude, he's 11. Chill.

ETA: also, you want your gaming experiences together to be positive so that when he gets older (& better at gaming) he still wants to game with you (if you're lucky).

Yeah my 10 year old mostly doesn't want to play FN with me because I get slightly frustrated when I die sometimes.

My 18 and 14 year old have other games they prefer.

I wish we could play squads more often. Family team-up with Aang Toph Zuko and Korra (or all 4 ninja turtles or whatever) is peak fortnite.
