Like most of the others, I've had a slump when the children were younger. You want to be able to hear when they cry, and do not have the spare time to listen at leisure (besides being tired all the time). Now they are older I've rekindled my love of music, partly as background when working or reading, but I always listened in that way. For me it wasn't a loss of love for music, just temporarily not having the time or opportunity for it. But apparently it is different for others.
