    Default Multiboxing as a parent?

    I've had to quit multi-boxing and (and most online games) since becoming a parent almost 2 1/2 years ago. Are there any other parents out there that find time to play while having a family and a full time job? I'd like to start up again, but I have no time. I've just been playing Skyrim 'cause I can quicksave and pause forever.

    I've got 2 boys, ages 2 and 3. 5-boxing PVE instances I can walk away for extended periods of time to take care of the kids.

    Seconded. I love that when I 5-box I can walk away whenever and pick up where I left off When you 2, 3, or 4 box you won't even have any time to fix macros or key maps without being cussed at.

    43 y/o father of 3. My free time is when the wife and kids are in bed so usually from 10pm - MN.

    Time is an issue but you can still get stuff done every day. I think they key is having an agreement with the wifey and sticking to it (although she takes precedence if it comes down to altering the agreement!).

    37yo, 2 kids (3.5 and 1.5) stopped boxing or even playing when the second arrived as I was too tired to do anything and the time felt right with regards to WoW (was getting bored)
    now i box from time to time on trial accounts because I can't be asked to resub
