I always find it interesting to see people that manage to game with their kids. I was playing MAG last week and heard a guy obviously talking to his son going "look! Daddy fall down!"... and a little later "color inside the lines..." It was actually pretty adorable that he was playing the game but obviously also spending time with his kid.
Another clan member only tends to play late at night after his kids are in bed, and yet another often plays with his older kids and gets a game of Warhawk or Little Big Planet going. The splitscreen capabilities of a console make gaming with kids easier than with a console (though watch out, because once kids get to a certain age you'll be fighting them for console time!)

seems like you are giving up on gaming alltogether.
You should keep the pc, give some games on steam a go, after all i havent managed to get friends into online gaming but i never stopped playing online.

... I do both of those too. Seriously though, get into gaming *with* your family instead of around them. That's why your console's hooked up to the TV. Modern RPGs are so cinematic, they're often as much fun to watch as to play (Demon's Souls, WKC, FO3, FF13) and with the kids I play all kinds of split-screen, whatever works best for them... we'll make pirate ships out of a flooded level and some sombreros in LBP, or stage tea-parties in Warhawk driving jeeps back and forth between bases to visit.

Well, at this time my son is really way too young to play any games. I try to play a game, he gets mad it isn't Bob the Builder. I do play the Cars games, and he likes that (my boy loves Cars, he's a MAN!!! lol.)
As for Steam, I am a *huge* Steam supporter. And I buy all my PC games on Steam. But again, it's a matter of getting friends on PC too. If XBL an GfWL could cross chat, my problems would be solved. And the other thing is, my gaming has gone down, so I'm not really playing around them anymore... I'm not playing at all. Plus, I try not to stay up too late, because I have to get up so early in the morning.
I don't think I'm giving up on gaming as a whole, just not playing as much as I used to.
