I'm 24 my wife says gaming is immature
My wife swears gaming in an immature thing, I have been gaming for at least 15 years.....someone shed some opinions on this
Update: I only play maybe an hour a week.
I have a 5 year old who my wife says she doesn't want him playing at all, hence why she hates me playing. This bothers me due to my background in video games. What is a possible solution?
Edit-Thanks everyone for your replies, they are very helpful in this unresolved ongoing issue.
Thanks everyone again

At least let him play Pokemon

Genuinely ask her why she doesn't want him playing video games at such a young age If she answers with a sincere response have a legitimate conversation about it, if its something like 'too violent' then come up with some sort of compromise (no fps games for example, idk) Beleive it or not, some games can genuinely teach you something, im not talking about learning games which are obvious, but for example destiny, or halo or anything can teach you quick motor skills

Wonder if she'll feel the same way at 34?

Show her the scientifically proven benefits video games yield neurologically.

Tell her that everyone has their own way to relieve their stress and have fun.

I'm 24 and game everyday. It's a hobby, if I had kids and more responsibilitys than yeah they'd be my priority and a good job. My girlfriend of 5 years enjoys watching me game, she games occasionally too. I'm sorry i like to interact with something besides sitting there watching Americans got talent and numb my brain... I just picture it down the road, when your 40 you got kids, working over time, supporting the entire family, exhausted, and you just want to come home and relax, if she is going to stop you from relaxing after work (even if your hobby changes to something else) than I'd try and make her understand that aspect. Maybe she's calling it immature cause your not spending enough time with her ? I'd want my spouse to be happy and for her to do the things she enjoys. I think it's wrong of me to call something she enjoys immature.

3 RepliesMy wife is similar, she doesn't call it "immature" but she says all the time she doesn't understand why I like it. I go to the gym, train in Muay Thai and love fishing ect ect, when she found out about my gaming she almost couldn't believe it. However different our opinions of it are however, she never belittles me or says bad things about it, she acknowledges it helps me relax and wind down; maybe try explain to your wife why you enjoy it and hopefully she can appreciate it. As for your son, he should be able to game if he wants to, as long as it's in moderation.

3 RepliesTo her, you gaming simply means that your being absent in your family's life in the time that you spend away from them. You can easily get caught up in playing games and not spending the time with your family... however, if you incorporate video games into the family's activities and conversation, you can still keep your hobby and not be a neglectful father figure.

24 with a 5 year old kid? Wow that's pretty early. Also your wife's a bitch you should leave her ass
-
Does she spend an hour or more per week doing something she enjoys which is pointless? If so, attack it without mercy.

1 Replytell her to get over herself and proceed to live your life

2 RepliesTell her to -blam!- off. Seriously though, tell her that video games are proven to increase hand eye coordination, dexterity and reaction times so not letting the kid play games is impeding his/her development. Also suggest to her that Facebook / Twitter isn't really mature either.

1 ReplyAsk her why it's immature. You could explain that it's exercising your reaction time and your brain.

21 RepliesWow what a twat, I mean seriously. You spend 1/168th of your week doing something you like to unwind and she goes all bitchzilla. Maybe you should embrace more "adult" activities. Porn, booze, strip clubs these all require you to be an "adult" so I say trade one vice for another.
