So this happened last night and the random tank we got was totally okay with what happened so I decided to share so others can (hopefully) laugh at my struggle.
I want to start this off with the knowledge that my husband and I have a son who is nearly a year old and has discovered how to start walking unaided. While most people think this is great (it is) parents know that with these big milestones come with 1-2 week sleep regression. It's typically 'cause the baby wants to practice this skill all the time and it takes some time for the novelty to wear off.
We put our son to bed at 7pm. His sleep regression has him usually wake up at 1-3am. It sucks but it will pass. Imagine our surprise when he decides to wake up at 10pm instead. This is supposed to be our safe hour so we were unprepared.
Our friend had just gotten to the 95 dungeon and it was smooth sailing until the last boss. Then we hear the screaming from the other room. We let the tank know and he asked if we needed a minute. We try just using a pacifier to calm him down but it wasn't working so I improvised by let him sit on my lap but I was pushed away from the computer so he couldn't reach the keyboard (he usually likes to hit my space bare to make my character jump). It's going okay-ish. He's babbling to our friend over the mic, he's pulling at my headset, slightly distracting but not unbearable. We had wiped 2x because the fist mechanic was throwing off our friend and my husband. Tank explains the mechanic and things start going better.
My son (the little shit) was able to lean forward enough to slap my keyboard. I had no idea what he did because suddenly I couldn't move and my arrow keys were suddenly throwing out text in my chat. I'm getting frustrated, my friend who is doing the healing is thinking this is absolutely amusing and is egging my son on, and my husband is just trying to DPS.
We killed it! I died several times sadly and I apologized the best I could with a wonky keyboard.
Our friend was able to suggest using Function+W to try and revert it. Which did work in case you find yourself in this mess.
I turn to see my son who I passed off to Dad to see such a shit eating grin with four little baby teeth staring back at me. Little dude was sooo proud of himself.
So there you have it. The consequences of two FFXIV gamers having a baby is said baby also wants to play the game.
I think until we finish this sleep regression we're gonna hold off on both of us being stuck in a duty. We have (hopefully) just another week of this so please give me strength.
