This past week or two has just been a living nightmare for me when it comes to trying to log on to my latest MMORPG addiction, LOTRO . My 11 month old son caught some type of evil flu bug which causes high fevers, vomiting, and non-stop diaharea for a week.

I honestly don’t know how gamers who are parents find enough time in the week to curb their hardcore gaming addiction. Babies need attention 24/7. Napping time is usually a good time for it, but you can never take on a mass raid dungeon during that time. Playing at night after he crashes is when I normally try to get my gaming freak on, but damn…daddy’s gotta sleep sometime too right?

So I suppose my question to any gaming parents out there is what do you do? Any funny gaming/parenting moments you want to share?
