Alas, as Gorden Van Gelder would say
I am getting the house ready for friends to come over for what is going to be our last gaming session for, at least, awhile. We could game with one kid, and we could game with two kids, one of whom pretty much just needed to sleep or nurse. But now that we've got two who need attention and stimulation, the game just isn't working. I let our GM know that the Damsel and I had to drop out, and he was bummed, but seemed to understand that it was in no way a reflection on his game. We were having a great time in those moments when we weren't stressed about the Dude or the Bud. When they're older and can play by themselves a bit more, we'd like to play again.
Also have let my superhero game stutter and die, which bums me a little bit, but is only fair. It was started as a way to get the Damsel some with-friends socialization time post-baby-arrival, and given that she had to drop out to tend to the kids, it was turning into, well, not-fun-ness for the family.
Someday, there will be gaming again. For now, we will be good parents.
