Tell Us Dammit: How Do You Game And Parent?

Hi fellow parents. I know you’re out there. I need your help.

I want your advice: how the hell do you parent and play video games at the same time?

I now have two kids — one at three years old, the other just three months. Things are getting super tricky.

— You can’t really play violent games when kids are awake.
— You can’t really play into the night, because kids wake up and you’re already on zero sleep.
— You can’t really disappear into another room because um… children require supervision.

So yeah, it’s been pretty difficult for the last two or three years, but the last three months in particular — with the arrival of baby #2, have been very difficult.

So, parents! What do you do to maintain your gaming habits?
