I have a wife and one child so far....play 3-4 nights a week for league and tourneys almost every weekend from the end of March until October....have a job that is 5 days a week...wife and child like to come to the ball park, so it works out just fine....when we have another child, I'll probably cut back a little..

I'm just good at the sex thing.
im pretty lucky...my wife plays ball aswell so shes pretty understanding...asfar as work goes i usually start at 6am and im on my way home by 230pm....have 2 boys (7 and 9) and when they have practices the wife and i take turns during our game nights....if either of our boys have games our softball takes a backseat...wife doesnt mind me playing tourneys on weekends aslong as theyre local...

my wife used to come to all my games when she was my girlfriend. i worked 40-50 hours and used to be able to play 4-5 nights a week with tourneys until i had a kid... it was rough for the first 4 years or so, but now im back to playing up to 3 nights and tourneys when im not working saturdays... she doesnt bring my daughter (5) to the games... idk if she would sit patiently while i played, otherwise, id bring her with me...
Pretty much this. I don't play much anymore, just 1-2 nights a week and no more tourneys. But a few years back my ex of 8 years left, I played a ton to help get my mind off things. No kids, my job was/is 7-4 M-F, so I played 6 nights a week in league and 2 tourneys a month (one usually in PHX, 2 hours drive). Being single and no kids made it easy to play all of the time. I'm still single but have picked up other hobbies that take up my time now.

Average, at best
I work 9-530 M-F in the back office of a broker-dealer, taking MBA classes and play Sun, Sub Mon, Tues, Wed and weekends.... but I'm single with no kids so I have the time and the $ at this point. Figured play as much as I can while I can.

I play two nights a week and 1-2 tourney's a month....wife, two kids usually come to the games (most of the guys on my team have same aged kids)
I'd say the idea is to get with a team who has a lot of guys in your situation. Plus, my wife is awesome and knows how much I love playing (even if I am stinking it up this year). It will slow down soon tho, since my oldest is 5 and starts sports soon.
