The FAMILY MAN struggle
Any other family peeps out there have to balance Destiny with work, kids and a wife/girlfriend? My wife puts up with Destiny but it's mostly because I don't play till kids are tucked in and read to and I try and watch a show of my wife's choosing before jumping on. Stay on late get up early... Worth it!
What is everyone's ritual for getting to Destiny without getting in trouble with the family?
Edit: I love that I'm not alone in this. I can't believe how many people have the identical schedule as mine! Must be why I always find good randoms when I'm on, we are all family men. #destinydadsunite
Edit: We got our first Toxic Troll response. So I would like to give the award for biggest buzzkill to SEANY, You earned it bro.
Edit: WOW GUYS AND GALS!!! I woke up to hundreds more comments and 99% of them are positive! It's amazing to see so many good family peeps finding a healthy balance between gaming, work and family. You people are amazing and I'm not sure I've smiled so much reading these posts.
Edit: over 1000 replies!!!! Nice to see so many awesome people out there and hardly any trolls! Stay real guardians.

I always make sure the wife is okay with me being on Destiny for a couple of hours after that kids go bed (that's not pussywhipped, it's called respect.lol). 99.9 percent of the time she is, and at least half that time we'll share the controller for Crucible. She puts me to shame usually. Trying to get my daughter into it so she can join me in a fireteam on her 360. Getting it for my son on PS4 soon. So I'm working on making Destiny a family activity. In response to Seany, us dads aren't whinging. It's actually a healthy thing for an individual parent to have a bit of 'Me' time each day. Being a dad is hard work at times, and as my wife puts it, She loves the fact that I would rather stay at home on Destiny with her and the kids than be out boozing it up at the pub.
