I'm going to pressure my father to give me more video game privileges
I'm not entirely sure why you would want to pressure your father into giving you more video game privileges?
Because I think it's the best solution.
Video games are a lot of fun and it's normal to want to play them, but it's good that your parent is restricting you. Kids aren't very good at regulating their own screen time and it's important that their parents step up and give them limits. Try to understand that your dad is just acting in your best interest and focus on your schoolwork instead.
Come on, why do parents always have to be such downers over everything. You are teaching your father that it's okay to limit my activities and that I should allow him to walk all over me. The world doesn't work like this and it's time he realizes that.
It is okay to limit your children's game time and he has every right to do that while you live with him. It is also fine for you to want to play games, but you have to realize that your father has your best intentions at heart.
