@warzan well at least you’ve still found time to come first with a plastic frog on your head race at your kids school before now.

Maybe one question though in all seriousness as you share the hobby and and inducting your wee littleones into the hobby are you doing this to mask its allowing you to stay linked with the hobby and deliberatley not step away from it hobbying for hobbyings sake or to share the rich tapestry and enjoyment it can bring. If the latter then its still a good positive experience if the former and its all about indulging your own hobby need maybe just mix it up doing maybe jigsaws or tapestry or making a cake without any sense of competition. Only you know are you still controlling the hobby side. Apologies if it was a more general question I did not mean to be intrusively personal.

@horus500 I believe that was part of the story for the wargame documentary/film from a few years ago.

When I dabbled with online poker a few years ago I did see the question raised what do you do when your hobby is your work? I didn’t really see much of a constructive answer put forward but it would seem to me that it would be healthy to have time reserved thats therefore to do with neither not including sleep although allocate enough time for that too.

If you find yourself like the character in Avatar who eats when alive as human and wolfs it down as fast as possible to get back to hobbybusiness then yeah you have a problem imo. Maybe best to look into how to control an addiction.
