“Around 9ish?”. I forgive his no-call no-show because he is a good man, and a good father.

    He’ll be back, don’t worry, only 18-ish years or so.

    Man. I feel this. My friend group and I all have new borns and toddlers and we average around 3-4 nights a month.

  3. The first two years of raising my twins was the most exhausting time of my life.

    My buddies wife is giving birth in june.

    Me and my wife are waiting at least another 3 years, I’m finishing my diploma and we will be moving and re-situating our lives.

    They moved their timeline up cause she slightly older and they wanted to err on the side of caution and just get ‘er going sooner rather than later. Being regular practising catholics might also have a small hand in it too lol, but ultimately I’m very happy for them.

    Gonna be fucking weird, I think even he forgets from time to time as we’ll make plans and he’ll be like “Oh shit yeah wait nvm, can’t do that”

    Life man, life.

    Playing *GoldenEye 007* with my son last year was a memory I’m going to treasure for a long time, just like I still treasure the memory of my Dad showing me the game in 1997.

    Now you know how all those NPC’s feel while you’re off doing sidequests

  10. It doesn’t get any better, unfortunately. At least in my case. My large group eventually turned into just 3. However, the three of us had a good run for a few years until one of the other guys had his second child.

    He dropped off and me and the other guy just stopped scheduling game nights.

    Now, even when I do play, it’s mostly single player games. I can’t remember the last time I played anything multiplayer in nature.

    Maybe one day we can get the band back together? My kids are older (18 and 16) but my one friends kids are much younger. So, he probably has a little while to go before he has more free time.

    You need to start training the twins to game so by the time they are old enough you have a full squad in any game you play after that

    Maybe a year or two before he’ll get some good time to game. Every kid is different and settles into a routine differently

  13. My wife and I are expecting twins in summer.

    Reactions I’ve gotten from friends/acquaintances who also have had twins:

    * “My condolences.”

    * “If they offered me a million euro to go back and do it all again, I wouldn’t do it.”

    * “Sleep now.”

    Father of 5 here with 6 month old triplets. I’ve turned my ps5 on a grand total of 5 times since October. And the trips have been conditioned to immediately wake up and start crying the moment they hear the “ding” of my PlayStation turning on.

    Give it 3 years minimum and he *might be able to just nip on quickly for 10minutes to 40minutes in the evening.

    **All being well.

    He’ll be back in a few years with hopefully two new supports for the party!

  17. “No-call, no-show”? Is playing with you basically work?

    Took me 2 years to start gaming irregularly again. My gaming group is still around though!
