I'm in the exact same situation. I have a kid and a wife that take up the Lion's share of my time. As well as working at a PCI compliant company that forbids me from showing my best work to anyone else. It's a struggle and a challenge, but I've explained my situation and my frustrations to my wife and we try to carve out a few hours here and there and a few more over the weekends for me to build something that I'm able to show. We thought about quitting and dipping into our savings but for now it works and we can sustain this for a bit longer. Good luck to you, and I hope that you will reach a resolution soon.

I knew I was not alone, but it's good to hear it just the same.

  Same here, I have three hours during the weekend that are mine to hack on projects. But beyond that I have a notebook I constantly am writing down ideas and thoughts in. During lunch time you can spend it working on problems. And then there is vacation days. How about taking a day here or there to concentrate on the projects you want to invest yourself into?
