I was 36 when we had our first. I still haven't recovered from the sleep deprivation 7 years later. I don't know if I'm ever going to be truly awake again. They keep you young though, I've build more sandcastles in my 40's than as a kid lol.
The hardest part is they always pick up some kind of flu etc from school. They cough and keep us up all night, then are fine in the morning again. Can't wait until the summer break, 2 months of not dealing with that crap! Being sick as a parent sucks even more, no calling in sick from work and play videogames all day in bed, that ship has sailed.
More changes than gaming habits ofcourse. The tv and movie content we watch has to be kid friendly unil they finally are asleep, and then we almost fall asleep trying to watch something since it's getting after 9 already :/ I can play video games at night yet most movies put me to sleep nowadays. Same with music, can't blast Smack my bitch up through the house anymore. Plus they're allergic to anything that's louder than themselves anyway. So videogames habits have actually survived the best out of entertainement options. We also don't play boardgames much anymore as it's just too much hassle. Our last game of Settlers is still sitting on the table from over a month ago.

haha none of mine are in school yet so i havent had to deal with that part yet but i agree with you 100% about movies.
the last 30 times my wife and i have tried to sit down and watch a movie after the kids went down, i have passed out within the first 10 minutes.
my oldest is going to be 4 this summer and she is starting to get interested in playing games with me. we have been playing a bit of Car Game (Fast RMX) lately and she really likes to watch me play Snake Game (Snake Pass).
