Gotta teach these durn kids everything...
As I fired up TF2 yesterday, my son, who occasionally plays on my account, came over to me all excited and informed me he had gotten me the Flare Gun.

He was somewhat taken aback when I pinned him with the stink eye and said "You did what?"

And he gamely went on, telling me "Yeah, Tyler and I found these servers where you can get achievements..." and trailed off as I fixed him with a second stink eye.

I explained to him that A) It's my game, not his and if I want achievements unlocked I'll do it myself and B) achievement farming is verboten in my household.

I felt pretty bad about it this morning, though, because I know he meant well and was sorry that he did it once I explained things to him. Fortunately he was up before I left for work this morning, so I let him know I knew he meant well, just that he had to understand I liked to unlock the achievements in the course of playing and that farming is for lamers. Getting together with a couple of buddies to do the really tough ones at the end is OK, but farming is icky.

He bounced back OK, though, when I told him that when the Sniper and Engineer achievements come out, they're all his. He just better not try that stuff with the Heavy or the Soldier, or he's grounded. :-p
