Over Flanders Fileds Phase 3

[JediMaster]

Basically for my 6 month-old to get older and out of the "needs hours of attention every day" phase!

 

Did I ever mention I only got maybe 5 hrs in phase 1? I don't even remember if I've ever gotten around to installing phase 2, actually...

 

Just aren't enough hours in the day or days in the week.

Hmmmm,

 

I just looked, but unfortunately there isn't an option in Workshops to do away with domestic/RL committments. Winder is good.....but he ain't that good.....lol.

 

As in all aspects of life, priorities must be maintained. A good many of us have been in your shoes I'm sure. Fortunately, some of us old farts are way past having to nurse a child through their "formative" years. Mind you, my 21 yr old (and the 19 yr old) require a fair bit of attention nonetheless. The only difference is it doesn't involve them torturing the cat or sticking something in an electrical outlet..........usually

 

Hopefully once things slow down on the domestic front, you'll have the opportunity to spend some time on the western front. I find it's much calmer there......lol.

 

 

Cheers,

Right, and that was my main point to begin with. Knowing how much time I have available to dedicate to it, I can't justify paying for P3 to myself.

 

I know several people who buy a game, play it one or maybe 2 days, and then never touch it again because with their limited time they're on to the next one already! I also know a guy who makes excuse after excuse for not buying a given new game and then instead replays game X for the 5th time (like playing the KOTOR RPG 4 times at 50hrs/each!) In their case, though, I think they have less money than they pretend to and can't afford to buy games even at $20 very often!

 

So for WWI fans with the time I think OFF is definitely worth a look. For those like me, however, who has spent probably 45% of my flight time in jets and 45% in WWII, WWI stuff just takes a back seat.

I even DL'd the MAW mod for CFS3 on its release...and still haven't installed it!!

No matter what responsibilities you have in life, you have to make some time for yourself. I get up at 6:30 every morning, I get the Missus out of bed (she's a quadriplegic) and get her settled. I then do what I want until my 3 year old son gets out of bed around 8:30 or so, which signals the end of my "me" time until he goes to bed at 8:30 pm. Between him, the Missus, and the housework, my day is plenty full. After that I fly or whatever until bedtime. I do find myself dozing off while flying sometimes during longer missions, but I guess that was a hazard IRL as well.

To each his own I reckon.
