My wife, on the contrary, "encouraged" me to play online. :)
We were sitting together in the evening, as usual, while our daughter was asleep, each of us pursuing our own hobby: she was embroidering, and I was playing Heroes on the computer. And she asked why I wasn't playing with other people. What could I say? I last played online around 2005, on Heroesportal and the then-still-active Heroes.by, and I wasn't particularly successful...
"Don't worry," she encouraged me.
"Try it. You're getting bored playing against the computer..."
And so, I put WOG away, dusted off TE, and... it turns out that everything has "slightly" changed over the years! :eek:
HD-mod, WT, Hota... Only Hamachi remains familiar.
Now, in the evenings, while our child is dreaming, my wife quietly engages in her forums/websites, embroidery, and knitting, and I can play my favorite game for 3+ hours. We only agreed not to play during the day, if possible. But even then, there's always something to do with the child - she's almost 3 years old, and everything is interesting to her. :)
So, I think the main "secret" is to relieve her of some of the household chores (I happily cook, go shopping, and vacuum, and the first and third can be combined with playing the game); and to find her some hobby (books, toys, forums, movies - anything). For me, a small secret is what other wives do in the evenings while the child is sleeping?:) Do they also go to bed at 9-10?
