> hard mode, by starting a year after our first child arrived It isn't likely to get easier. I have kids aged 4 and 6 and I want to spend 100% of my time on four different things: spending time with my wife, spending time with my kids, my day job, and side/fun things. The light at the end of the tunnel [0] is that I'm sure the kids are eventually going to have their own things they want to spend 100% of their time on (and while I hope I'm one of them, that still means I'll probably only get 25%), which will free up time for me to spend on the other things. [0] very tongue-in-cheek, this phrase is implying that I'm in a dark period of my life or something, but I'm the happiest I've ever been right now with all these things pulling on me and my time.
