So one main for solo content of the week and then back to leveling alts.
So my problem was that gaming was winning over other things all the time on almost every occasion. I was evading responsibilities at home, neglecting my relation with my wife and not giving quality time to my daughter.
So now I'm like 3 months free of gaming and while being hard , I can now see I was using it not for the right reason.
I hope one day I'll be able to play it normally, but I'm not sure. So yeah definitely it can "cost" a lot to play.
It helps that I commute too so I have some free time for leisure, so back at home I don't need/want to pass as much time on "wasteful" activities.
Don't take too much time for tidying up the house yourself, you need energy for the baby and take time to get to know him/her.
The first week was a complete change in our life, we were exhausted and so much had changed. But you get through it with help from others if you need it ( I know we did need a lot of it ).
The more important I think is take the time to get to know your baby, take the time to appreciate and share those moments with your SO, and do things the way you want (as long as it's secure).
Good luck :)
It's nice to see the community stepping in to "fix" the situation.
