balancing gaming and everything else

What’s gaming?!?

Kinda serious here, I don’t have time for it much. If/when you see me on, it’s pretty much a special occasion, or I really like a game.

Since moving out west my schedule has been hectic and by the time I get online, most are signing off, so if anything I’ll play SP games. I did buy a switch so I can game on the hour commute into the city each morning then afternoon. That helps the itch.

I’m lucky as my wife encourages me to game as it truly my only outlet. I don’t have friends here I hang out with and I don’t go out and do stuff without the family, so my wife understands and encourages me to game. She is pretty cool that way. My kid is 10 almost 11 so she does what she wants most of the time and I don’t have to watch over her like when she was younger.

my wife typical has no problem if i come home from a bad day of work and once we eat and he is in the bath my wife normally doesnt care if i go jump on for a few the biggest problem is i feel guilty trying to run and take time for myself and leaving her with the clean up and kid

That is the sign of a good man however since you care about the clean up and kid. A lot of dudes just do what they want and ignore that stuff.

I guess if you take turns and give her opportunities to take that time for herself sometimes then it all balances out?

No word of a lie, that is exactly what I did way back with GameCube, OG Xbox and the PS3. They didn’t know any better…until they did and I learned to play a lot of Mario party.

Now they’re old enough that I have to struggle to spend time with them because they’re always so busy for me.

So, through the winter I can play as much as I want and through the summer I can play as much as softball seasons allows me to.
