Parenthood and Gaming: Compatability?

[Samurai Waki]

Well, with one baby you can probably find time here and there to do the occasional game. As with my luck, having twins, I've forgone the gaming altogether and get some strategy relief if I can balance my time to get a snippet of whats going on online.

I play RTW very occasionally and most of the time it is auto-resolve on the battles (unless I want to kill a heir or leader).

Kids suck up time and you will need extra sleep to cope with their irregular sleeping patterns and knack of waking up every couple of hours and then they get up fresh faced in the morning long before you are ready. I hear that the teenage years is when you get that revenge.

Trying to get some time into paint minatures... no.

Console games are a blessing, except when he wanders in from playing with the Aunts and wants to take over Daddy or Uncles Rainbow Six operative. At two he can make the gun go bang. I'm sure at ten I will be hiding from him in cover and spray and pray to beat as he deftly picks me off with a pistol snipe.

So anything that has quicksave and can be stopped and packed quickly are good.

And it is best if you get them outdoors and playing games they like and exhaust them if you want them nice and sleepy at night.
