I really don't mind because he doesn't do anything else for his "me time" and he works really hard so I think he deserves a break.

No time for games except for the occasional app. Raindrop on "If you/your spouse played video games pre baby, do you still play?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youyour-spouse-played-video-games-pre-baby-do-you-still-play#post-1589917 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:14:06 +0000 Raindrop 1589917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH plays at night after LO sleeps but only like half the time and he plays on weekends before LO gets up. BUT we both have switched to playing iPhone games which is nice which we can do during naps or watching tv with LO. :D teamjse on "If you/your spouse played video games pre baby, do you still play?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youyour-spouse-played-video-games-pre-baby-do-you-still-play#post-1589791 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:40:09 +0000 teamjse 1589791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH still plays at night after DS have gone to bed. It's his stress reliever so I'm very supportive of it, plus he never goes out for boy's night or anything. He always put us first, so I never have a problem with him gaming.

He can't watch movies as loud anymore. We had a long weekend this past week so I took DD on a play date and let DH catch up on his shows and he watched it as loud as he wanted to. He was in the same sitting position for several hours! That would bore me so and dive me crazy!

DH doesn't really play that often now alone (once every few months) so I imagine that won't really change. But we play together sometimes and it's fun to do something together that's a bit more interactive than watching tv. I imagine we'll still do that after LO is born, especially since we'll have less date nights out. winniebee on "If you/your spouse played video games pre baby, do you still play?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youyour-spouse-played-video-games-pre-baby-do-you-still-play#post-1589776 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:36:10 +0000 winniebee 1589776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He recently got a new Xbox so does play for roughly 15 mins after T goes to bed, while I shower. cmomma17 on "If you/your spouse played video games pre baby, do you still play?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youyour-spouse-played-video-games-pre-baby-do-you-still-play#post-1589769 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:34:24 +0000 cmomma17 1589769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My DH still finds time to play, almost daily. It's his unwinding/release from working long hours and really his only hobby/connection to his guy friends.

We wouldn't be ourselves without our hobbies. It's also good time for him to socialize with friends. blackbird on "If you/your spouse played video games pre baby, do you still play?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youyour-spouse-played-video-games-pre-baby-do-you-still-play#post-1589711 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:20:21 +0000 blackbird 1589711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He still does sometimes. In the morning or weekends. He goes downstairs and lets E run amuck and play with things while he plays. sunny on "If you/your spouse played video games pre baby, do you still play?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youyour-spouse-played-video-games-pre-baby-do-you-still-play#post-1589651 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:02:18 +0000 sunny 1589651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. He wasn't super into it before though. He would rather watch sports than play games. cascademom on "If you/your spouse played video games pre baby, do you still play?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youyour-spouse-played-video-games-pre-baby-do-you-still-play#post-1589646 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:01:26 +0000 cascademom 1589646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep, at night when LO goes to bed. I don't mind it since it's his hobby like how knitting's mine. For him, it's his form of relaxation after work can be tough on him.

DH still plays every weekend while she naps, and a couple times a week after she goes to bed. I don't play nearly as much, which depresses me, but I only have so much mental energy these days! I'm hoping that this summer, since I'm not taking any classes, I can buy SimCity and lose myself for a few hours a week :) Weagle on "If you/your spouse played video games pre baby, do you still play?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youyour-spouse-played-video-games-pre-baby-do-you-still-play#post-1589419 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 13:11:43 +0000 Weagle 1589419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH was never that into video games, but he still plays occasionally.

Our kids go to bed early, so we have a good 4-5 hours to watch our shows, play games, do whatever before bedtime. mediagirl on "If you/your spouse played video games pre baby, do you still play?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youyour-spouse-played-video-games-pre-baby-do-you-still-play#post-1589396 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 13:07:43 +0000 mediagirl 1589396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My husband used to play, he actually still found time to play when we had an infant because she slept so much (and I was her sole food source at home). Now that she is a toddler, he doesn't play anymore. He says he doesn't have time and I believe him, I don't have time to scrapbook either. We both have put our hobbies to the side, for now.
