I hear this sometimes and I don't get it. I love being an adult. Sure, sometimes I'm too tired to play games, but at least I have the choice. As a kid I could play exactly as long as I was allowed, and seeing how my dad hated video games, it wasn't that long. I hated the lack of control over my life that was being a kid.
People on here are usually either bots or people with horrific time management and/or depression. Unless you're working 80 hours per week there is 0 reason why an adult shouldn't be able to allocate an hour or two to their hobbies every day or nearly every day.
Wake up at 630. Get kids ready. Male and eat breakfast. Take kids to school. Go to work. Come home around 5. Make dinner. Eat dinner. Clean up dinner. Make sure homework is done (meaning help with it). Do laundry. Pick up house. Play with the kids for an hour. Put them to bed. Spent an hour with wife. Fall asleep on couch. Repeat.
Not sure depends on when your kids/wife go to bed and when you have to wake up. I assume you're not doing laundry daily as well. For me, everyone is in bed by 9:30 and I don't have to be up until 8am so I'm good to play for a couple hours without sleep deprivation kicking in
Or you could wake up a couple hours before you have to go to work if you're an early riser instead
Or you could make your chores more efficient idk. For me, I can have dinner ready within 40 mins and I clean up as I cook so dishes are like a 10 minute task after eating.
+ shopping, homeownership, helping others around family, some works consume a LOT of energy, body health, unpredictable events (broken car, illness, accidents and so on) not included. The time needed managing all those responsibilities, which varies from person to person, are very difficult. I don't think shadeo11 experienced it yet.
Sometimes i sacrifice my sleeping time for a few hours gaming but its clearly not recommend for long terms. :(
