Multiboxing as a parent?

[OldRod_KS]

I multi-box *because* I am a parent. My 10 year old son takes a lot of my time/attention. Playing an MMO 'normally' I could never do raids, or pick-up groups because I have to AFK, sometimes unexpectedly. 2-boxing, all I need is a safe spot to park for a few minutes and I can AFK as often or as long as I need.

thats why i love flying mounts.... mount up and afk

I should go find some of my videos of Ebola and his 5 warlocks killing alliance guys AFK in the air. It was hilarious to watch.

Yeah well i make sure they have to work for it if they are going to mount up and Parachute/slowfall

I have twin 3 yr old boys, and my wife and I still manage to raid 3 nights a week, and I'm still multi-boxing at night.

When I boxed wow, I was more than willing, when I find some toon hovering either AFK or not, and obliterate him, accepting 5 deaths. Why not? Its just a video game. I didn't actually die. I just ran back got revived my toons and went on my way. I chuckled at the notion that these toons, I just grounded, thought he/she was safe. I helped he/she learn, thats not always the case.

The safest place is /logout

My favorite is when I located toons hovering, but not afk... they fly up high, or to a spot they think I wont touch them. Pifft. Silly mistake.

This reminds me of the Southpark WoW episode, specifically when Cartman is being killed and says "No! No! No! I dont want to run all the way back from the graveyard."

It used to be so much nastier, when the corpses would stay in the air and you would have to get a spirit rez >.<

Mother of 4, 1 almost 15, she plays wow with us, raids in our core team, currently 3/8 hm. Others are 10,7 and 2.
3 of our pcs are here in our massive loungeroom, I find plenty of time to play wow, get kids up, dressed, ready for school... spent loads of time with my youngest daughter she is 2 now. toilet trainning starting soon.

I box 5 to 7 accounts, these aremostly with my fiance tanking,as we mount farm various places.
I run and lead my raiding guild as well, and we raid 3 nights a week.

Its not difficult making time to play and have a family just depends how busy you are in your own life I guess.
