Managing family scheduling and gaming
Managing family scheduling and gaming
I love D&D and have an on-going game that occurs twice a month on the first and third Saturday evenings of the month. The game has been going for a little over two years and I love it so much.
I am a father and husband too. Unfortunately, my wife is frustrated with having those Saturdays taken up on the schedule where she has to schedule things around them or go without me (vacations, family outings, etc). Admittedly she has done well at scheduling and should be given credit for her tolerance thus far.
Those of you who are successfully managing family schedules and gaming, what is your secret?
You're viewing a single thread.
I don’t play on weekends. There’s always something that gets in the way. Fridays are okish, but Saturdays are murder.
Yeah, it seems that way. I know I am lucky to have gotten away with it so far. Changing the night it runs would be tough at this point as it works for so many other people's schedules.
Which is more important, the game or your family?
Well I mean if you put it that way the choice is obvious but I don't think there's any ultimatums being leveled here. She would think quitting the table to be an extreme and overreacting choice.
I'm not saying you have to quit, just see if you can figure out a better time. Have everyone take a look at their calendars.
