Young kids, specifically twins, have taken away hobby time, but more importantly have taken the time in which I share my hobby with others.  I still build but spend much less time sharing what I build.  Of course, household projects sometimes divert me away for a few months, but I am never away from the hobby for more than 6 months.  

Not having an LHS anymore also plays a role.  I used to go to the LHS on a weekend when I was simply bored and needed inspiration, and at the very least pick up some details or paint or something to finish up a project.  Shopping online does not provide the same inspiration.
