[Rich]

Me... I work in Harrisburg 7am to 5pm, It's an hour for me one way. Have a daughter, she's 6, and the wife works nights till 10pm at least once or twice a week. Plus I have all the gear to fix, take care or have it fixed. On top of practicing and knowing all the songs. Plus my own gear to "tweak". So, who's up till mid-night, 1am every night???

[VENTGtr]

12 year old son. That's really the reason we do every other Friday and
Saturdays. My son goes to his mother's every other weekend, for the
most part. Gives us weekends to do things. Though, nowadays the little punk sometimes bails on "family" to stay at friend's places.

Just part of them getting older...Should be a pill for that or something...

We may have another in the future, but then it'll be easier....'cause this
one'll have a built-in older brother/baby-sitter for when SherK. wants to
come out (Note: She doesn't now...so the boy is prolly safe).

Work full-time at PSU, so it's about a 2 hour commute for me each day; play 3 shows a month with Kitty Whip, and single mom to my 5-year-old daughter.

I practice in the evenings after my daughter goes to bed. The rest of the KW crew have been very accommodating of my schedule. We have band practice on Sundays. That's the day that my daughter is with her dad.

[Possessed]

I have a 6 year old boy and a 13 year old daughter.
I work full time plus I spend at least two evenings a week at the Funeral Home jamming with Mausoleum.
That's why I don't get out to party and see other bands much. I'm not much for the bar scene these days.

Raised a son. Taught him to rock. Case closed. Plus "My baby loves to rock."

[Mikey Wax]

I have a 1 year old, a 2 year old, and one due in September. I have a very supportive wife that lets me play out once or twice a month and practice every other Thursday in Top Dead Center and practice almost every Sunday in The Crosstown 8.

I also work 40 hours a week, and find time once and a while to work on my Chevelle.


After reading what I just typed, I realized I should never bitch again!!!!

[ToonaRockGuy]

I have 2 daughters, one 14 and one 6, so I've been juggling it for a while now.

[BDR]

I'm a single father of four kids and have been actively gigging for eight years. My oldest is grown up, married and moved out and my younger two live with their mom. My 17 year old lives at home while I gig with bad daZe and three acoustic acts. Sleep and family time is limited but you gotta pay the mortgage.
