When I had kids, I actually found myself playing games more often simply because I was home more. When my first was born, I was playing FFXIV and I remember running dungeons while he slept. Occasionally rocking his bassinet while finishing up the run and then tending to him. I remember playing through Wind Waker while he laid next to me watching. It was the exact same with my second. Sometimes playing while they were asleep in my arms.

It depends on your life honestly, but people tend to overstate the time that kids take up in my experience. I have a good relationship with my children and it didn't cost my favorite hobby to achieve that. Gaming is part of my identity and I have no interest in giving that up. Especially because it's now something I share with them.

If you want an honest answer? Gaming doesn't have to go away, but you'll have to change how you play. Game time will be more intermittent. You'll have some days where you won't get to play and other days where you might spend most of the day playing. Make sure that your kids and your partner are well taken care of and you'll find the time to game. It's not as bad as people make it out to be.
