Managing family scheduling and gaming (lemmy.world)

I love D&D and have an on-going game that occurs twice a month on the first and third Saturday evenings of the month. The game has been going for a little over two years and I love it so much.

I am a father and husband too. Unfortunately, my wife is frustrated with having those Saturdays taken up on the schedule where she has to schedule things around them or go without me (vacations, family outings, etc). Admittedly she has done well at scheduling and should be given credit for her tolerance thus far.

Those of you who are successfully managing family schedules and gaming, what is your secret?

My group plays on one Friday evening each month. It's not much, but as we are all grown ups with families it's just about what we can spare in out lives.

So I would probably move the game to a non-weekend evening and maybe just have 1 per month. If your wife can't accept that she might as well be telling you to stop playing all together.
