I wasn't playing golf when my kids came along, I played club hockey. I soon realised that committing to play every week was not fair on my wife. An injury came along and made the decision very easy. I stopped soon after, took up golf the following year
The joy of golf is that you choose when you play, how long you play for. You might go from playing twice a week to twice a month, or 18 holes regularly to 9 holes occassionally. Work out what is best for you and your other half. You do need to keep doing your own thing, having your own hobbies but equally your life is going to change, that's life with kids.
One thing to remember when your mates are ribbing you about missing golf, having kids is brilliant. You don't want to be living on the course, missing all the good stuff. It's a balance, good luck
