I have opposite experience. Just before becoming parent, I quit my cubicle job. I started 'cool risky opensource startup', to be at home with a child.
9-5 had lot of overhead (socializing, commute, babysitter...). Now I can organize my time better, work longer and do more work, while spending more time with my kid.
