I'm 35 years old, been married for 7 years and I have a 4 year old son. I'm a veteran gamer since the Atari 2600. Being a parent is about the hardest, most frustrating, greatest thing I'll ever do. The Glass Vault has nothing on parenting for difficulty. I choose not to play when my son is awake, for now. I'd rather spend real time and interaction with him. I'm not saying my way is the right way, it's just the way that I'm choosing. As soon as he goes to bed, "Xbox, go to Destiny" can be heard. Now that being said, I can't wait for him to get old enough to play games with. It will be epic. When he eventually moves away, we'll always be able to hang out in a game together. The future will be something spectacular. Just don't forget to put the controller down and play with them too.

I'm 41, I've been married for 10 years and I have a 5 year old daughter, a 7 year old son and a 9 year old son, plus a full time job and a wife. All in all, I've been playing games on electronic devices for 31 years. Currently Destiny is my drug of choice, I've reached level 20 2 days ago and I still see plenty of content in the game to last me for months. I can only play a hour or two a day, so games tend to last long. Destiny is great, I can play it as long as I want (no need to spend 5 hours going through a dungeon) and resume the next day. I've been doing some of the 20/30 minutes missions across a day or two because I simply cannot spend a full hour playing, after 15/20 minutes there goes a kid wanting something, or a wife, or a neighbour, or whatever. Once I'm truly done with destiny I might even let my kids play it. ;)

I'm 42, married for 20yrs. 3 kids, the oldest is 14. Plan for a second TV and system,just a quick word of advice. Of course now the the two youngest are 7 and 8 it's a juggling game to get game time for myself. But it's fun. My son and I were both on the other night with a kid from California and had a major laugh fest doing a Queen's Kill Order in the Winter Kell. He and I have been gaming well together since he was about 6 so good times ahead and soon.

We are living the same life! :)

As other's have said here. Much respect man. I have a little one too, and yeah the happiness I get from virtual items will never replace the quality time I have with kids and family. I've pretty much given up on Vault of Glass type things which are 4-8 hour endeavors. It's just not possible for me with real life added.

Very true. Us gaming dads have to be sure not to put the games before the family. Kids first, relationship a close second, then everything else.
