After I get home from work, it's family time. We might play something together after the kids have gone to bed, but I also might have marking to do, or be in the mood to write, or watch a movie.
Kids definitely add a lot of complication to life, but that's an expected part of the package. It's about juggling. Kid down for a nap and waiting for the washing to finish? Perfect chance to play a little something. Or not - you might feel tired or want to put this energy elsewhere. I know friends who don't game anymore since kids, because how they used their more limited free time was different. That's ok too. Do what makes you feel fulfilled.
