I really hope you don't have kids. Cause if you do....5 hours a night with kids and working isn't pro time management...it's negligence. And I'm not trying to say parents can't be gamers...but there's a healthy limit.

You do realize, you're allowed to have time to yourself right? There's such a thing as "No, not right now, I need some time to myself." instead of "Ok, let me drop everything to do your stuff." That's not a healthy/happy family. That's 2-4 people using a single person to do their stuff while they can do whatever they want.

You also don't need to be at their side 24/7. That's being clingy. If it's an infant, than sure, be near them the majority of the day. But you can also have them in your lap or them playing with toys next to you so you can monitor them. Kids 10+? Theres a thing called friends. And again, you don't need to be right at their side 24/7, most kids would hate that. Kids that age or older can have friends over or go over to a friends house. Or you know what? Go outside and play with friends. They don't need you every waking hour of the day.

From the sound of a few of these posts, it sounds like parents who are too afraid to let their kid out of their sight for more than 10 seconds and won't allow them to go out and have friends >_> That right there is bad parenting if you're doing everything for them and don't let them do their own thing by themselves. They'll end up growing up not knowing how to do easy life skills because you hovered over them all their life. Not to mention it'll be difficult for them to actually make friends and go out and do things with them, because kids love to make fun of other kids who have parents who hover over them all their lives. People who do that are just setting themselves up for failure and not having enough time to do what they want. It also sets their child up to be one of those kids who lives at home until their 30+, who can't handle real life situations without you. Think of it in the way a bird pushes their young out of the nest. They can't rely on you forever and by doing things for them and not doing things for yourself, you're setting them up to be entitled, whiny kids/adults, who expect things handed to them. Do you really want more of those?
