[QUOTE="Vrecknidj, post: 2076805, member: 7301"] I started playing in 1980. My first son was born in 1989 (my second in 1994). I've played D&D the whole time. During those first few years, my friends and I would pass then-baby Alex around the gaming table when he needed to be fed or changed. My wife certainly needed Saturdays off (we were both full-time students, and we both had at least two part-time jobs, but I wasn't about to let my D&D habits die). So, Alex grew up fed, changed, and adored by a bunch of role-playing geeks. Of my big group of friends, only one other had a child at that time (and his kid was less than a year older than Alex). Today, anyone can tell, I think, that Alex was raised by gamers. This year will be his 11th consecutive GenCon--he's a fantastic DM for a 15-year old. As far as things others have worried about, he has plenty of non-D&D hobbies (he's a volunteer at a local theater guild where he's worked as assistant director for the past two years). He's homeschooled, but doing very well, the last four semesters I've had him taking one class a term at the local community college, and his GPA is over 3.0. So, welcome to Daddy-hood, but, there are ways to keep your D&D hobby. Dave [/QUOTE]
