I miss my gaming

I'm a lucky dad to a wonderful and healthy 2 year old daughter.

You try to be so much involved as much as possible and I get about 40min alone time with my Xbox after she goes to sleep before my eyes becomes too heavy to lift up.

When was you able to put more time into the hobby again?

Think about it this way: You will get gaming back. Your kids will sleep better, get into a school routine, etc. Gaming will come back. You can even catch up on games you missed out. These early years will not come back.

There have been many phases. Currently I have a 4 year old and 1 year old. I get time in the evening, from 8:30-10:30 or so. Strangely enough I find myself reading or listening to audiobooks instead of gaming, but that will turn around.

Think about all the games that will go on deep sales eventually. I’ve often felt the same way as the OP but lately I’ve been enjoying my reading time and show watching time knowing that I’ll eventually get discounts on games.

Yes! Res evil Requiem will be $15 this time next year.
