Three kids here [age,gender] = {[8M,4M,0.5M]} Firstly, the available time is going to decrease. There is just no way around that, and yes that is painful. Hopefully the enjoyment from the kids is worth it, but it's a real trade-off for sure. Secondly, the problem can be mitigated by having a strong routine and clear times that are "yours" for developing. (This is true for any hobby, of course. The hobby in this case is developing). For me, the kids get in bed by 8, and from 8-10 is time for me and the wife, and from 10-12 is codin' time. Early morings before the kids wake up would be a better fit for some people. TLDR; Don't forget yourself when setting priorities.
