My kids are 13 and 10. They're finally independent enough that I could get back to some amount of gaming if I wanted to, but it's not the same anymore. I have so many responsibilities with the house, work, the kids' activities and social lives... Whenever I start a game I immediately feel guilty because there are clean dishes in the dishwasher that need to be put away and one kid is having screen time when I should be interacting with him and the garage is a mess and the dog would love another walk and I should probably get the kids' uniforms and water bottles ready for their basketball games tomorrow and fuck. 

Once they're in bed and I've actually taken care of everything that needs to be done, I don't have the mental energy for something like Elden Ring. Not even close. I might play a round or two of mystery heroes in Overwatch, or a little Stellaris or Civ, but usually not even that.

That said, reading stuff like this is all I need to remind me why I never want to be one.
