Less even more so after getting married, still get an hour a day tjo. I these days would rather play about with dreamweaver and photoshop then game tho
Well I define 'gaming' as solo, personal hobby. Your personal escape from life for a short while.
Playing videogames with your children doesn't count in that regard, imo. It's a very nice gesture though! You'd be a good parent in that case
Even so, I think it still matters how much the person gamed before. Maybe they never/rarely gamed, had a kid, and have changed their 'escape' so are gaming more. Maybe they've replaced going out on the lash every Friday and Saturday night, with some gaming at home after their child has gone to bed. I still don't view that as bad parenthood.
In other words, if you normally game 30hrs a week and increase that after having a kid, yes maybe that's a problem.
If you used to game 0-2hrs per week and increase that to say 3-4 hours a week after being a parent, I don't think it necessarily is.
