[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 9680091, member: 11"] One thing I probably should have mentioned is that when I first posted this thread my daughter had not even been conceived, let alone born yet. I definitely played fewer sessions in the first two years of her life, but I still managed to keep two games going and started squeezing in 20 to 40 minutes of crafting/painting minis or game prep after bedtime a few times a week once the night-feeding era was over. But that's because I am lucky enough to be in a position to do that. Parenting is hard, and for me prep and crafting has been a necessary break when I can make time for it, even if just a little bit. I can imagine that for those people for whom it feels like work, it would be miserable to have to do after a long day of looking after a kid, which can be both physically and emotionally exhausting.
