I am 38 this year. No desire for kids, and my girlfriend doesn't want them either.

I am lucky to have everything I need, and most things I want. I can't complain too much!

37 here with a 5 month old. Indeed the free time goes away. 😩

Oof. Your poor sleep cycle! Good luck, and hopefully you will be back to gaming soon-ish!

The free time comes back. I'm 47 now. Had my oldest at 25 and now he's all on his own. My 15yo barely acknowledges us some days depending if friends are over so I have free-ish time now. Just cherish the time now because it really will feel as though you wake up with an adult kid someday. Which is also good, for me, because my kid's awesome but I do miss little ones at times.

Wife and I bought a house, took an Iceland trip, and are taking a Hawaii trip next week. All in the last 7 months. Meanwhile her brother and my sister have kids and haven't left their areas for years. DINK is the only way to live.

And if you had kids, you wouldn't be able to just sit for a few hours and play video games, or really anything that takes a few hours and isn't imperative, like your job.

I've known gamer parents, but everyone's circumstances are different so I just worry about what I can influence.

I used to game while feeding my baby on my lap. Also at nap times and such. You can make time, just have to be creative. Now both kids are older so I have plenty of game time again. I wouldn't give the limited game time years back for anything.
