I hate to admit how on-again, off-again I am with Hive. I get really inspired and excited for a while but, (especially with a 9-month-old at home) I tend to stick with Hiving during my workday and work has been so busy lately I can barely do Hiving there either. I've been really excited by the concept of Steem/Hive because I love independent creators being able to get funded by the community that consumes their products, it's just so difficult to stay active as much as I'd like.
It's a lot of work for sure! Probably not as much as having an infant at home though. I think you are doing well to put the more important things first. Hive will likely still be here when you have more time again!
