Did anyone have kids at the start of your hustle? (alien.top)

I was going to come up with a hustle until I found out my wife was pregnant so I decided to put it to the side. Fast forward to around now, my kid is 2 and it's pretty exhausting thinking about it now if I did go through my project. I personally couldn't find myself continuing the project because I had a full-time job and even trying to work on my hustle at home, it gets too distracting but I also WANT to be a family man.

I have no judgment in any way and like to know if anyone ever managed to run their (new) projects while having a kid either on the way or just arriving. So far what I've seen in person, it seems the ones who kept their business up don't spend a lot of time with their partner/kid. As said, I have no judgment and just like to know more about it.

I have 3 kids under 2(twin boys 21months and a new born girl(6 weeks). I have talked about it before but I make good money blogging and started this newsletter where I write everyday for a year! It’s been hard but I make time for it all.

It’s possible just gotta be 100% focused in the free time you have and make sure you do everything you can when they are napping, sleeping. I write tons of notes for myself so when they are in bed I jump right into action on the tasks I need to do.

Blogging seems to be the most convenient for people with kids though I'm still sure it's very hard work. I cant even do chores when my kid goes to nap. I get way too exhausted
