Hi Mike, wanning interest in any hobbie is a natural thing. I have suffered for the past few years with a wanning interest in my prime hobbie of fly fishing. I have for the past 20 years travelled the country and the world chasing trout in streams and lakes and have found my level of satisfaction lagging some what. Astronomy like Fly fishing is a very individual and often a very lonely persuit not requiring a lot of interaction. I find that from time to time I need some form of interaction with others, and I don't mean the likes of this or other forums to keep the interest at a level which does the hobbie justice. You being a young man with a young familly must suffer the usual problem of time management to fit everything you love to do into a very limited time slot. I don't have the family commitments you have and still have some problems fitting it all in a working week.
I think the real or imagined lacking interest is really based on a lack of time and too many commitments. Step back relax, smell the roses and do what you are comfortable with. It is after all just a hobbie, keep it just a hobbie, don't get involved in the politics of it and make the best of the time you have doing what feels right at the time.
