[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 4599005, member: 14197"] This. It's a lot like my situation. I am the DM, I have five players. All are married or living with S.O. and three of six have kid(s). We have to arrange our schedules to meet others' needs and the holidays are tough. We usually try to play every other week, and we have to ad-hoc schedule it in advance, usually over a stream of emails that take two days to figure out. Does this process bother any of us? No. Do we have some tough times with scheduling because of work/wives/kids/etc? Yes. So we go with the flow. That's all we can do. There's no name calling, no unspoken resentment, no finger-pointing. We can either make the game schedule work, or we wait until we can. I sometimes host at my house and my wife is sometimes happy about it. We sometimes play at one of the player's apartment, my wife is sometimes happy about it. Mostly, she's happy that I get out with my friends once every other week or so, but we respect each others' needs first. As for the Thanksgiving holiday thing... you may have to give that up. It's just unrealistic in a married with family situation. I like the suggestion that you guys do it like an annual weekend getaway. Once a year, you all get together for a monster long D&D session all weekend long. It's the Annual D&D weekend marathon! [/QUOTE]
