RE: How do you find time to play video games as a parent of young kids?

in #gaming7 years ago

I found when my daughter was born that the first couple of months or so were easy to play games cause she slept so darn much. Fast forward to her being 5 and now even though I want to play my xbox one and enjoy my favs (Overwatch, The division, or Halo 5), none of which I really want her playing or seeing me play too much yet...so instead I play with her. We have a wii U and play a ton of games on there (Super Smash Bros, Mario 3d world, Pikmin 3, Captain Toad, and more). It may not be the same as me getting to play my favorite games but I still get some gaming in.

So I say...try to involve your kids..but have some kid friendly games for now. I will sacrifice not being able to play some of my favs for a bit just to play Pikmin 3 or whatever she is into at the time with her. Thanks for the post :) Check out my page too if you like. Upvoted.
