I'm 43, 2 kids, full time job as a project manager.... my solution was to buy the kids their own system and TV so I can be left alone to play mine. Whats cool is that we play the same games now.... they are in their bedroom and I am in my Cave. My wife gives me crap about the amount of time I spend, but she understands that this is my hobby and is my only vice.... and that will never change... I've been playing games since I was a kid on a TI-99, and Colecovision console. Now those are really old school. I have lost some serious sleep time over the past two weeks playing this game but I have enjoyed every minute either playing solo or with the kids.
