Real life Lala killing my game time

[gehrtalert]

I leveled all my DoL's DoH's to 50 (way before my main) playing one handed on a PS4 all while my daughter was sleeping in my arms. Now she's a year old and still haven't finished the main story.

I never thought of that. DoH/DoL could use some work. That could easily be done with one hand.

Since becoming a new father during the time of me playing this game, i know for a fact that it wil get difficult to do things like dungeons and raids, because your baby takes priority. She will need a bottle or a changing in the middle of the battle and you will need to tell your party that you have tend to baby. I only do dungeons with FC members who know my situation, because most people aren't patient enough for a new parent to tend to baby in the middle of an instance.

Its a change for sure. I dont mind the 30 minute penalty anymore considering I get to raise my young one. Only one question tho... Do I sleep or do I raid?

Anyhow I only play after wife and baby sleep. Can clock abt 2 hours a day

Not trying to be rude here but it will likely come off as such... but I don't understand why people with newborns play MMO's.
Your baby is a big deal. It is brand new to the world and relies on you for EVERYTHING and of course it should ALWAYS take priority, but at the same time many folks with children forget that they are playing this game with complete strangers. You can't expect them to wait for you every time your lil bobby or susie makes a fuss. You can't pause other people's games and they should not have to pause for you.
To be honest, I would quit playing MMO's entirely until my newborn was old enough to fend for itself (which is probably atleast age 12 at the earliest). Not because I couldn't handle juggling baby-time and game-time, but because
A) This is your baby and its only a baby for so long, so enjoy it and
B) complete strangers shouldn't have to be burdened by players who keep going afk to be a parent.

I just had to add my two cents to this lol.

My son used to lay in my arms while I played, and my daughter would do the same thing. The thing about kids that young is that they'll take an invested interest in what your doing. They want to feel involved in your day to day activities.

Now that my kids are a little older it's easier to play, but they still require my attention and affections. I don't ignore them, and I'm always aware of what each of them are doing. But even older my daughter will still sit with me and watch and even go to sleep most of the time.

you just have to build your routine. Even if at first that's playing during the cat naps, it'll get easier over time.

I still hold the belief that all parents should be banned from entertainment and focus on the most boring of adult activities.

Then your obviously not a parent. It's stressful, with slightly older kids it's infuriating, and you need a way to decompress all that. For a lot of people games are how they do it. They can't just go out with friends, or run off the bar (If they're responsible anyway) so they go to the next best thing.

I would sooner remove by ability to do so.
