Message: <blockquote data-quote="Breschau of Livonia" data-source="post: 4528092" data-attributes="member: 4187">My own experiences from my group, your mileage will of course vary.When my wife, who used to game with us, was pregnant, the 2nd trimester was brutal on her.  Friday evening gaming just didn't work for her - she was just too darn tired to game - or do much of anything during that trimester.After baby #1 was born we took a hiatus from gaming for a few months. For her however, her interest in gaming was pretty diminished - it was always a bigger thing for me than for her in any case and her priorities changed after baby - so she decided to drop gaming. Becoming a parent does change you, no doubt about it. I too wound up giving up/losing interest various hobbies and optional activities like sleep after becoming a dad. I still enjoy gaming quite a bit and my wife still likes to bake, so her cooking and baking for "Daddy's playgroup" works well for both us and her. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  And the kids like seeing my playgroup come over as well.Echoing what others say, the first year isn't all that bad. It's a massive change to your life to be sure, but the kids are pretty immobile. You can pretty much take them wherever you go.  As they get older it becomes more of a challenge.  (I have two daughters - 3 and 6)</blockquote>
