I'm going to answer your question a bit differently because I've been going through something similar.
I have two kids (3 and 1 years old). Instead of hobbies I do myself, I have been curbing my hobbies to involve them. Here are a few things I've done: Wrenching on bikes in my little workshop is something they both love to do with me. Though I never expect to get much accomplished. But they just grab a wrench and try to figure stuff out. It's pretty fun to watch. About a year ago we bought a house nearby water, so we have started fishing together which was something I didn't really do before. I've also had to take a hiatus from doing lots of backpacking trips and turn that energy towards being a car camping family. These things all have their own rewards in different ways. Also, I frequent swap meets in the area when they come about, and I've started taking the whole family instead of going by myself. My 3 year old loves them. Also, slightly off topic, I would say 95% of my riding lately is just commuting to work and back. But my wonderful wife gave me a pass last night to go out for a ride. I rode a local hiking trail on my Bridgestone MB-2 and was gone for about one hour. Less than 5 miles total. I was amazed how much fun can be had even on short rides. So maybe that is something you guys could work out. Best of luck! Matt Cook in CT -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
