I would just add, as a person with no kids yet, that even if you're childless, responsibilities of all sorts have a way of filling any vacuum, to the point where it becomes really, really hard to find time to work on PD stuff.

I'm not saying this to try to undermine your point (and raising children is clearly a vast achievement, of itself). But it might just help you feel a bit less badly about the situation if you dispensed with the idea that there are some other, childless people out there who get tons of time for PD, who you need to try to measure up to.

We don't! We're all in this boat together...
