I know some of you guys, myself included, are stay at home dads in some capacity or another. I was looking through my collection photos over the years and realized that my collection literally exploded in volume right around 2003, when my first child was born. Anyone else greatly up their collecting levels once your kids were born to fill the void of not having a full time job to keep your mind fully occupied?

My collecting actually slowed down a little bit with my daughter's birth. But I'm only a stay home dad if you count staying home during weekdays while mom is student-teaching. I work weeknights and weekends.

My daughter was born in September and i left my job to take care of her. Every Tuesday we Drive around toy hunting and i just walked in the door with a bunch of joe comic packs some $4 spiderman figures from walmart and the dc heman 2 packs and i started collecting some Marvel Universe Figures. I have also beaten more video games then i have over the past few years and got alot more customs done.
But on the flip side i have also sold or traded alot more stuff the i did when i was working |

I realize I have more time to go toy hunting now. Before it was after everyone went to bed I'd head out to Walmart. Now it's afternoons and morning flea markets.

My "collecting" stayed about the same... but what exploded was the toys for my boy! I bought power rangers, joes, hotwheels, MOTU, just about anything/everything and because of MY collector ways, when I would pick up a toy for him I would have to buy the entire line!

I started collecting last year when my son was
about 7 months old. I wanted something we could possibly do together when he was older and had promised myself since forever ago that I would one day collect joes like I did when I was younger. However... To answer your question... Yes.
