Exactly, thank you. Of course I could prioritize gaming over nearly anything, but no reasonable person would for important things. I guess I have more things I feel are important going on than this guy and some others find believable. I assure you, I am not making up a story to earn fake Internet points that could not have less meaning.
Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult?

As someone who once worked 3 jobs and went to college full time while also being a parent, that poster came off as a wildly ignorant asshole. Possibly a clueless child or a troll? IDK, but damn.

You know nothing about me and your response reeks of being an entitled asshat. Do you even have kids or a career or do you just live in mommy’s basement?

Anyone can be a parent. Being a good parent, however, takes sacrifice. There are only so many hours in the day. And sure, I could game once they’re asleep but that means the laundry,dishes, lunches, etc. can’t get done which is a direct impact on their lives and your own. Most young parents will have to deprioritize gaming for years to make everything work. Imo good parenting comes with selflessness. Once your kids are properly automated you can slowly regain leisure time.

This heavily depends on how many hours you need to work each day. Two parents working 20h/week can have a lot of free time and may be able to afford a decent life in many places

Maybe you should collect your shitty, entitled, poorly informed take and just fuck all the way off? Again, you clearly have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about. You’re either a troll or an entitled moron.
Speaking of time management, this concludes our conversation. Goodbye.

Maybe you should take a long walk off a short cliff.
