[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 3056256, member: 9037"] I don't think anyone is saying that you should not spend time with family or that family should take a backseat to gaming. But if make a commitment to join a gaming group then you need to be able to make the sessions most of the time. Thr groups I have played in all the people had kids, spouses , jobs very busy lives and yet we managed to get together and play on a regular basis. It is one thing to cancel a session to be with your spouse if they are sick or it is a special day or there is a big family event. But just because they want you go to see a movie instead of play that is kind of rude to the people who you mad ea commitment to be with on that day. We are not unreasonable sure we understand things like my wife has been out of town for a week and gets back on game night and I missed her and I want to spend that night with her. Or I met this really cool guy and the only night he is free for several weeks is game night but to blow of your friends just because you can't wait one night to go out withsome new is in my opinion rude. I know if I was going out with a new guy and he told me that he had a regular hobby thing say on Friday so we would have to make our date on Saturday I would think better of him than if he blew off his friends because to me that shows someone who takes other people's time and feelings into consideration.
