Hmmm… if there are any other dad’s out there, we all can, in unison, say…
“YES, having kids directly impacts time on the water.”
But, this is okay, as as a father, you want to spend more time with them anyway.
And, small kids equals, smaller time intervals on the water… Larger kids equal fishing PARTNERS! So, give me time, and my 2 sons and I will OWN the Jerkin’ Lips weigh-in boards! For now, or at least in 2005, I will be a lower key fisherman… 
No sweat, though, BC, you won’t see much of a difference, I will still show up at the landings with bigger fish than you and Slop!!!! 
(cough, that is, of course, because I will have a great partner!!!!)
