Message: <blockquote data-quote="AstroCat" data-source="post: 4357907" data-attributes="member: 6320">Our gaming group of 6-7 people are in their 20s and mostly 30s and have no kids. I know plenty of couples with kids as well. There is no way I'd run a game with young children around while we were trying to actually relax and game for a few hours. No way. It's enough work getting everyone's busy professional lives together for 4 hours a week to have it ruined by uncommitted members and constant interruptions. Kids are full time and yes they come first but that means gaming is pretty much out if you expect people to actually game and not just work around the kids for 4 hours. It's not fair to anyone, including all the other players. Look if you can't get it together for 4 good hours a week forget it, it's not worth anyone's time.Kids are fine, no problem, but don't expect to burden me with your kids and expect me to have to put up with it or anyone else. You have kids, deal with it, don't expect everyone else to have to. It's not fair to anyone.I can be reasonable but the tone of some of this thread is like your doing someone a favor gaming with them and they have to deal with your kids no matter what, well they don't.If you going game with kids I would hope you would work out a way to get a good free 4 hours, it can be done, I've seen it. I fully realize when/if (mostly when) we have children my gaming is done for as it has been for a long time, I won't burden my kids on my gaming friends. I'll try and make it work at times but I'll let everyone I game with know I'm pretty much out as a dependable member and can not be counted on because the kids will come first and thier needs are not on a schedule I can control.</blockquote>
