If you're reaching for the pause button instead of already having dropped the controller and started moving towards them, you're a failure as a parent. It's a game. Take care of the priority, lose the fight or whatever, try again later. You signed up for those responsibilities when you had kids. If that sounds too cumbersome, don't have children.
