Eric,
I feel your pain, what you describe sounds exactly what my LEGO life is been
like the past year or so. Ever since my daughter became mobile my sorting time
was cut down to waiting till she was in bed. So after she and my son get to bed
I have about 2 hours to sort and of course spend "quality" time with my wife.
We need a new term for AFOLs that have toddlers and can't build/sort as desired,
it' not really a dark age, more of a forced separation.
