People have suggested I grow up in the past.

I suspect we could all do with growing up a little from time to time.

We live in an age, of course, when adults admit, without shame, to playing childrens' games on computers

I don't think it's a matter of not doing childish things. It's much more about accepting that there will be consequences and that you will be responsible for them and then making your decisions based on that understanding. People simply make better choices that way. For everyone.

If you can be a satisfactory husband and raise a decent family and, indeed, afford gas for the wife's new two-seater as well as all the other sundries of a life, whilst, or even through, playing games then fair enough, imo.
