By throwing away your me time, you're just making them think they can demand anything and expect people to drop what they're doing to help them and not teaching them that they can't always have their way in life. Why do you think so many people have the "me me me. screw everyone else" mentality now? They were never taught that life doesn't always work out for them and it's not Burger King, you can't have it your way.

    If you're by their side every minute of the day, that's teaching them nothing. Believe it or not, but parents actually do need their own me time. Especially with technology these days, theres plenty of ways kids can entertain themselves without taking away personal time from their parents. I'm not saying to ignore your kid 24/7. I'm saying you don't have to be right there 24/7. You, as a parent, are allowed to say no to your kids. You don't have to bend over every time they want something from you. That's teaching them the bad habit of expecting things from people and whining if they don't get their way.

    You can teach your kids they can't have everything they want by simply saying no and disciplining any bad behavior that results from them not getting what they want. Shutting them out for 5 hours a day does nothing, they'll just look for someone who will listen.

    You're honestly starting to sound like a parent who lets their kid have a meltdown in public and won't do anything...just expecting everyone else do deal with the noise...

    Been enjoying the game:
    • got a lvl 60 warrior and currently leveling my dark knight
    • will begin leveling DoL after level capping DRK
    • regularly pvp (wolfmarks and esoterics are a bonus)
    • several runs of alex(normal) for the weekly loots
    • roulette to cap my esoterics
    • have a tendency to kill time at golden saucer (long term goal: to eventually obtain a Fenrir)
    • do maps with some friends together
    • love hunting (The Hunt) (both ARR and Heavensward)
    • enjoy the blizzard and bgm as I fly around Coerthas Western Highlands
    • travel across Eorzea and perhaps talk to/help out some other adventurers from FATEs to just giving directions that I happened to stumbled upon

    I'm not really into crafting, savage mode and dungeon grinding. However, I still do enjoy the game. To each individual his/her own I suppose.
