Working parents, how do you find time to game? (self.gaming)

I grew up an avid gamer. But now, among my 50-hour work week, helping my kids with their math homework, grocery shopping, and house chores, I’m no longer able to find enough free time to really dive into a game. I mostly play casual games that I can drop in and out of but forget about the 40hr+ games requiring commitment. Despite not having the free time to game like I used to, I do enjoy watching my kids play while I’m doing other things around the house and then listen to them telling me about their accomplishments afterwards. I would like to hear from community members with similar circumstance about how you manage your time.

Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. Instant pause/resume is invaluable.

This 100%. The only games I've managed to finish in the past ten years are on Switch or a portable system.
