[QUOTE="schporto, post: 3456773, member: 5967"] I DM. My wife plays. The 2.5 (going on 16) year old plays in the play room. Or (too often) in front of us. We have a portable DVD player with some shows she likes. Each age seems to bring it's own problems. Under 6 months - breast feeding in the middle of the game. My wife would actually come behind the counter to do this. Kinda weird now that I think about it. The other players could hear, but not see her. 6 Months to 1 year - Sleeping. This seems to be when you are trying hardest to get the sleeping right. Gaming makes this tough. 1 year to 18 months - Eating anything. They want to eat dice. Minis. Paper. Pens. Books. Anything. One eye constantly. 18 mos to 2.5 years - Walking and 'interfering'. She just wants to play now. With everything. At least she's not eating. But the minis the dice etc. We usually take ~20/30min break to put her to bed in the middle. As a DM I try to pace the game so there is a break then. The other players use it to discuss player issues. Who is buying what etc. Oh, and welcome to Delaware. -cpd [/QUOTE]
