I was thinking of a thread like this the other day. I bet there is a fair amount of crossover.
I'm a new dad too, so finding time for my hobbies has been challenging with our short winter days in Seattle. In no particular order. 1. My house 2. Bowling 3. 911 4. My turntable and stereo

Trying to make everybody happy, or at least make sure nobody's angry at me.

family first, everything else is a distant second
my obsessions at the moment are, weight saving on my 964 project without spending money compiling a list of race finishes of cars I have worked on waiting for snow and snowboarding when there is snow my house in the mountains in Slovenia visiting new countries and places collecting models of cars I have worked on searching and buying Porsche spares not wasting my money and living within my means a boring list with no big ticket items but all of them make me happy

Back what I was single and younger I made a list of my hobbies. I came up with 17 hobbies or activities I liked.
I waited for the perfect weather day on a Saturday and managed to spend some time doing all of them. I was exhausted but happy that day. Some of them off the top of my head in no particular order: Model Airplanes Frisbee Golf Firearms Brewing Beer Growing Roses (I had 18 roses bushes at the time) Chasing women Autocrossing in my Porsche Tinkering with cars Coin Collecting Photography Building computers Reading (mostly Science Fiction) And several others. Some of them have been curtailed since getting married. My wife does not let me chase women anymore.  I never got into golf or boating. I have not been camping since I was a boy scout.

Family and the like is obvious, so wont even count that.
The only things that I would really call my "obsession" are: Boats, the sea. Pretty much anything nautical related. My mains "interests" are Offshore powerboat racing. American muscle cars and old trucks. Trains. Most outdoor activities (fishing, camping, hiking, surfing, etc etc...) .
