It’s not like those things are gone forever, infants are the most time intensive but as they get older that intensity fades.
By the time they reach elementary around 5 your energy and time should have returned to a decent chunk, about 10/11 you can start (ultimately based on their maturity/responsibility levels, every child is different) leaving them at home, they can make their own snacks, use the microwave and actually have some independence from you

So, 10 years of no hobbies. Big nope from me.
5 really, or less depending on what hobbies
10+ is just so you can leave them home alone. You could always try to get older children in on your hobbies for bonding lol
Not necessarily…
Could be much worse, depending how fragile the hobby is. Heh.
But joking aside, it’s more like 5 years, for most hobbies.
