Your wife is going to work tonight, she starts soon but all your friends are going to be online. You want to play too. But you have to look after the kids and baby. [[You help your wife get ready]]

As she is about to finish getting ready and before leaving she asks, "Are you going to drive me down to work?" [[Yes]] [[No]]

"Yeah I guess" you reply begrudgingly. Your wife sighs. You know you said it wrong, you only meant you don't mind. "You don't have to, I can drive myself. You will just have to take the baby seat out of my car. You left it in yesterday, remember?" Damn it. Less time to play. [[Insist on taking her]] [[You'll take the baby seat out]]

"You will have to take the baby seat out of the car then. You left it in my car yesterday, remember?" Damn it. Less time to play [[You'll take the baby seat out]]

"Nah it's fine honey, I can take you." you say encouragingly Your family gets in the car, and of course you're driving. Big surprise. The fuel is low. Now you have to ask her for fuel money too. [[Ask now]] [[Ask later]]

As you take the seat out of the car, your wife asks you to do some housework "Just do the dishes and clean outside or something. Don't be lazy." Ugh, you guess that's payback for not driving her. You'll never get to play at this rate. Plus you can't really afford to look lazy, you slept in yesterday. [[Do the work]] [[Play games instead->Turn on your computer]]

A few hours pass, but at least all the jobs are done. The baby has been sleeping since your wife left, now is a good chance to play. [[Check the baby]] [[Turn on your computer]]

You slowly approach the door when you hear the faint sounds of the baby stirring. You pray she isn't awake but you fears are confirmed when she starts wailing. Must be time for a bottle. [[Go get the baby]]

You are about to play, when you hear the faint sounds of the baby stirring. You pray she isn't awake but you fears are confirmed when she starts wailing. Must be time for a bottle. [[Go get the baby]]

As you pick up the baby to give her a feed you see that your wife messaged you ten minutes ago. Damn it. How did you even miss that? You open the message and read: //Hey wanna come down in 10 mins on my break? I need to feed the baby.// [[Hurry and leave]] [[Tell her you already fed the baby and dinner is cooking]]

You ask for some money for fuel and without even knowing it you've entered a fight. You know she is only stressed about money because times are hard lately. But you doubt playing games tonight is going to get you out of this one. [[Another night then ->End]]

Your friends had heaps of fun last night. Hopefully tonight will be better. [[Get out of bed ->You woke up]]

Your wife looks concerned. "It'll be fine" she says. [[Accept dinner]] [[Decline dinner]]

As you get to your wife's work, she suggest you eat dinner there, "It saves you from cooking at least" she offers. Wow. Sounds good but you still need fuel. Maybe you should ask before eating incase we can't afford both. [[Ask before dinner]] [[Ask after dinner ->Ask now]]

You enjoy a delicious meal that you didn't have to cook. What a neat surprise for the day. Which you suddenly realise is nearly over. Damn it. Almost no time for games [[Hurry home]] [[Stay a while->End]]

You hesitate for a moment and conjure a white lie to get out of dinner, you know it's best for the family to not spend money when you don't need to. "I can't eat now anyway we just had a late lunch" you stammer "Why'd you eat so late??" she demands to know. Erm, you struggle to find a logical answer. "Guess I am just lazy" you confess. "Fine just go home." After all that, you are considered lazy anyway. Gaming better be worth it tonight. [[Hurry home]]

When you get home, you put the baby down and put the kids to bed. Almost time for games. you begin to wonder if everyone is in ga... Your thoughts are interrupted by the baby crying again. She probably needs to be bathed. [[Bath the baby]] [[Let her cry]]

Your family gets in the car, and of course you're driving. Big surprise. The fuel is low. Now you have to ask her for fuel money too. As you get to your wifes work, she suggest you eat dinner there, "It saves you from cooking at least" she offers. Wow. Sounds good but you still need fuel. Maybe you should ask before eating incase we can't afford both. [[Ask before dinner]] [[Ask after dinner ->Ask now]]

You start to feel really guilty about lying. Now you have to actually cook dinner, feed the children and baby. That's gonna be at least another hour before playing anyway. Soon the kids are done and in bed but the baby is crying. She probably needs a bath. [[Bath the baby]]

Its about 8 pm now and the baby has been bathed. She enjoyed it though so you get some relief. Only if she'd let you enjoy some games for a while. You feed her and she drifts off to a calm sleep. [[Play games]] [["Oh shit"]]

Her gently noises turn to a loud wail, you better stop her quick or the kids are going to wake and you'll be starting from the start. [[Bath the baby]]

You begin to load up your favourite game when... [["Oh shit"]]

You suddenly remember that you need to... Put the dinner you didn't cook away ensure the house is tidy wash the kids uniform was that the baby pack the kids lunches remembering they each like different things; one //vegemite// two //nutella// only one like //Le Snack// other two //LCM's// one noodles and two chips or all //tiny teddy's//. Wash the baby's bottle again put the dishes away check the baby again oh yeah read tomorrow's lecture find the kids library books dry the uniforms wash your own clothes check the kids did you feed the dog? ok? ok. [[Games yet?]]

You are about to message you friends when your wife comes home. "hey baby" you call out from your desk "how was the rest of work?" "Shit" You feel bad, so you give her the time. It's the right thing to do. [[Spend the time listening]]

About 45 minutes pass. "It's late" she yawns "I'm off to bed, are you going to stay up tonight or come to bed with me?" [["Yeah, I am going to stay up for a while]] [["wtf, it's 11:30 already?]]

FINALLY! You game away. but only for a little while, you have to get up to take the kids to school at 7:30 [[End]]

"Nah it's too late now" You don't sleep well. [[End]]
