You can still do all the fun stuff after work. Weekends exist too you know.

    Im at the point in my life where my children consume all of that. I get time after everyone in my house is asleep. Thankfully I function on 6.5 hours of sleep, so i can get some time

    If you can function adequately on 5, there is another 1.5 hours of gaming time available.

    Just kidding. Get the sleep you need so your brain will function well for longer and you can get those missed hours of fun back when your kids don't require all your attention.

    I don't know how old your kids are, but I have my 8 year old playing Final Fantasy with me, and I'm playing Minecraft Dungeons with him

    Oh im totally here for all that. Id love to play more video games with my kids. Thats mostly their mom's choice that they enroll in musical theatre/tennis/tap dance/etc. and theres minimal unstructured time

    They regularly ask if they can just stay home and play Lets Go Eevee or Mario Kart with me.

    Who said you can't spend a few hours gaming during weekdays. Traditionally, people have spent those hours watching low quality trash on TV. Shooting space bugs with rockets and flame throwers is a lot more fun IMO.
