Because if you're not you must need to understand how your parents felt then if you were a P.I.T.A child.

Should not play game if you are supposed to be watching kids in first place ? I have 6 kids and I don't have these problems because I PLAN my gaming time around my responsibilities. But that is just me . Everyone got different needs I guess.

My kids stayed in bed. It’s really not hard to do, just don’t give them everything they want when they throw a tantrum.

I pretty much only played Civilization whilst my kids sleeping habits were unreliable. Never made even the smallest iota of sense to me to play something where me leaving would impact the gaming of others. Being responsible is hard I guess?
