Just to add some inspiring notes to the thread — I've personally known several successful entrepreneurs who started tech companies while having kids (often 1+ kids).
Ranging from humble "providing okay level of life for the family" to ~1B valuation company (it's not 1password mentioned here, but comparably known company in its niche).
2 key insights I've got from those cases:
1) you'd better have a rock solid healthy relationships in your family
2) you have to become a god of time management and work prioritization
Most of them followed "classical" startup path of building a prototype while living on savings -> raising first money to survive death valley -> raising next rounds to scale found market fit.
Though I'm sure there are plenty of "side hustle solopreneurship" examples too.
TL;DR for me — it's doable? Yes. It's easy — hell no!
