this is when I hate being a single mom. he basically spent the day on video games.

Sorry that happened.
I loved when my parents were too tired to do anything. It meant I could play Pokémon until 1am while they'd be passed out on the couch. It was great because it gave me the chance to level up my Pokémons so that I could beat all of my friends the next day. I was queen of 1st Grade.
But my point is, sometimes it doesn't hurt the kid as much as you might think. If it happens once in a while (i.e., not everyday), the kid might not mind it. I know my parents felt guilty for not doing anything, but there were some things I "had" to do (e.g., play my pokemons, watch Pokémon tv episodes, etc..). You know, "priorities"!
