Oh that's easy. When you have kids, you stop having time for those hobbies. So you don't have to worry about spending money on them anymore.

The kid becomes the hobby. Children are fascinating, they're always growing and changing, they present a host of new challenges, and watching them grow up is at least as exciting as watching my Gundam model collection grow or golf score improve.

I adore my kid, but I'll withhold a final verdict until I hear more about your Gundam model collection.

Fortunately, I've raised my kid well enough that they'll laugh if they find this comment, and will also check for updates on that Gundam model collection.
