Let's face it; everyone has kids now. Right?
I've got two boys. Both under the age of two. Spending time with them is the light if my life, of course!
Then there's my unhealthy love for becoming someone new with my games. I live vicariously through Destiny, Assasins Creed, Halo, Forza and many more.
Where do YOU draw the line with gaming when it comes to your kids? How do you balance your hobby and your duties?

I've got a 9 month old daughter. It was hard for a while to balance being a mom and have time for myself. I would end up not having time for myself at all. Now that she's older and got a pretty good sleeping schedule I can play (and even raid) when she goes to sleep. My kid will always come first though. If I'm on Crota and he's hardly got any life left and I hear my baby crying in her crib I'll leave the game and go soothe her. That's where I draw the line. I'm being told by so many people that kids grow up so quick. There are days where I feel like playing Destiny and not necessarily be chasing a little one around the house. When that happens I just tell myself that memories with her as a little baby are worth a lot more than finding a cool weapon in a game that won't even matter to me down the road.
