My SO and I play video games or D&D as our main hobby and have for the 8 years of our relationship. While we do go to family gatherings and a few parties a year we tend to not stay long as neither of us enjoy engaging in social activites in large groups.

However sitting down at a table with a few people and playing D&D or gaming for hours is fine and we have a great time when we aren't at work or doing the necessary things in life (eating, sleeping, exercising, medical stuff, etc)

Our parents accuse us of wasting our time but we enjoy spending this time with each other and a few close friends. What's your go to response of gaming in general being a waste of time?

We are very much content with our lives which is why we don't let it bother us. It's just an irritating conversation to have everytime I have dinner or spend time with either of our parents.

But thx.
