I don’t know how old your kids are, but I have my 8 year old playing Final Fantasy with me, and I’m playing Minecraft Dungeons with him

Oh im totally here for all that. Id love to play more video games with my kids. Thats mostly their mom’s choice that they enroll in musical theatre/tennis/tap dance/etc. and theres minimal unstructured time
They regularly ask if they can just stay home and play Lets Go Eevee or Mario Kart with me.

Yeah my son gets one extracurricular at a time. It’s too much for kids to fill their schedules like that. They need unstructured time and boredom

Mines for multiple children, so when ones at event, the other parent is on full kid duty. I agree and I support bored kids

You can also combine kids and fun. You just need to be a bit creative.

If you can function adequately on 5, there is another 1.5 hours of gaming time available.
Just kidding. Get the sleep you need so your brain will function well for longer and you can get those missed hours of fun back when your kids don’t require all your attention.
