Same thing happened to me. Since becoming a parent I've gotten back into video games like I was when I was a kid/teenager. Before I had my first kid we didn't even have a TV now there are 3 in my house. I also read a lot more books as well.

It's much harder to just spontaneously go out and do stuff with friends. Even when the kids have been put to bed and are asleep you can't just leave the house so I end doing things at home like playing games.

I've definitely had my share two mile hikes that end in whining and complaints but as they get older (6 and 3 now) it's gotten better and more activities open up

For me it was opposite. Having kid meant that most games became unplayable, because they are not designed to be played for 2 hours once a week when I happen to have time. They are designed to waste you huge amount of time.
