I used to think, wow progressing is so easy, why doesn't everyone just read a technical book, documentation or take a course after work. I then had a child. The time is just gone. Having children is extremely time consuming. I have my own health issues, but now I am responsible for one more person. Morning routine takes 1 - 1.5 hours by the time my kid is dropped off at school. He hates getting up, so by the time I'm done I would love to crawl back into bed. After school it is dinner time, we try to cook and eat healthy. After dinner it is bed time. If I have time to watch a show or just talk to my wife for an hour without being interrupted, I'm happy. Having a child is great, but if you are committed and involved parent, there isn't much time or energy left to do anything but work and child.
