Just make sure it doesn't turn into the wife singing "Bat Out of Hell."Wife singing "I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that"? The daughter singing "Lost boys and golden girls"? More than one option IMHO.

Been married for 14 years and wife has ZERO interest in D&D. It's my thing with my friends, and she has her things, and somewhere in the middle we have the things we both like. One of my gamers has been married longer with 5 kids and same thing. Wife ZERO interest but his oldest loves it.
I wouldn't do anything extra. If your kids are interested, they'll probably ask mom to join at some point for a family game.
Recommend Critical Role to her. It’ll fill that role of something to veg over after work, and give her an example of D&D being played. That’s how I got my partner into it. Though, they were already kind of interested but intimidated by the perception that the rules would be really hard to learn.Hi all - for some of the old-school gamers here, do you have any tips for enticing your better half to the D&D side? I gamed back in the day and this quarantine has sprung the itch again, however, having a young family presents a few challenges as well as opportunities. My kids are intrigued, being 7 and 9 and full of wonder, but my wife is at that time in life when she's always busy, and likes to veg out with netflix or a good Stephen King book, etc. Any tips for bringing her over to the gaming side? I don't think she has a good conception of what D&D is besides being on the nerdy side of the spectrum and involving dice, although she had a penchant for fantasy and horror during her studies, so I know she can appreciate good lore.
Thanks!
