I game with my 11 year old son for an hour or so at least 3-4 nights a week. It's a bonding thing for us. I make up for it by burning the midnight oil on school and work stuff, but it's totally worth it. I'm a lifelong gamer since the 80s, but don't have time to play everything I'd like.... right now it's all about that new LEGO Star Wars game with my little man, just like we did 6 or 7 years ago when he was tiny. :)

You definitely need a balance!! Can't take care of loved ones as well if you aren't in the right state of mind, and you need your own time to get there.

I love gaming with my kid, it’s when she opens up and talks more about what’s going on in her life. It’s the best! We’ve been doing that since she was little.

Currently, no! But I hope when my kids are a bit older, I'll have time to. I've given up for now.

I been thinking about buying a 3bed and 3bath house or a condo. I haven’t had much luck in finding one so I started thinking about 4 bed and 3bath. I am single and I don’t have any plans to marry or have a partner staying with me. Is there anyone who’s single living in a 3 or 4 bed house by yourself ? Please share your experiences from all aspects. The only thing that makes me think weird is, it’s too much space for one person ☹️

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

Best way to deal with family members who treat you like the family therapist? Over thanksgiving my aunt disclosed some intense stuff to me and asked me for my help/opinion, and it was uncomfortable. I don't feel good saying just don't talk to me about stuff like that, but I also am not paid to give therapy to my own family and the things they tell me put me in weird situations with other family members. Help!

I’m a female who lives with my SO. We’ve been dating for years and we fight a lot so it’s possible a breakup is near. Do you think it would be difficult to date while living with my ex as roommates in a 2br/2ba? We have a lease that’s not even halfway done. In other words, would a man be uninterested in a woman who’s living with her ex (but of course being appropriate after the breakup)?
