Gaming mamas, how do you juggle between your family and your burning passion with computer games? Are there any out there, or have you completely leave that old life behind?

We have been on World of Warcraft for about two or three months. It has been a frustrating struggle between gaming and baby caring. The guilt is unbearable when you leave the kid on the floor to play on her own while you work on your game. To make up for it, I will pick her up and sit her on my lap, and she will always hit the wrong keys when my health is critically low. It is either late night gaming, else I need someone else to babysit her. We have been perpetually tired since and my eye bags, panda eyes are obvious evident. I managed to make her sleep before 10pm every night, and that helps a bit.

We have been telling each other, how we wish the kid is older and could join us in the game. James has met little children in the game, with blessings from their parents. One of them even received virtual presents from the mother, a sword for his WOW character from eBay, and he was obviously very happy and proud about it. Do I see future generation asking not for mobile phones anymore, but maybe some fancy virtual accessories? Who knows!?

Meet my hunter, my online love. See how I love my kid; even my hunter is named after her. Maybe I should attempt to trace my agonies of online gaming with a clingy baby. I am sure I am not alone.
