I would say that was one of my biggest challenges over the past 3 years (since my first son was born). I think there are two things that really helped. Loving and caring for the project and having a personal goal. Without either of those I would have been screwed.
That said I've always struggled with work/life balance. I'm either all work or all life. That is why i always tell younger people (ie people in their 20s) that now is the time to work. I know if I had started my business with a young family I would have either A. not been as successful or B. not had the same type of relationship with my kid.
I think once you have a family the key is to find ways to enjoy the family time without business involved. Family trips away from the computer.
