Nah, kids aren't the problem. I've had a lot of fun playing WoW, 7 Days to Die, Forza, Terraria, Minecraft, and many, many other games with my kids (I have 5). You may need to change up what you are playing, is all.
Just turned 49 here, and still enjoy gaming. My wife and I play WoW TBC Classic together, and I get time to play plenty of other games.
Working from home has its benefits.
