I'm a father of four. I started out as a self-taught programmer, completed a B.S. in Computer Science and am currently employed full-time since 1998.
I also own a small mobile software company.
I totally agree. When I was younger I bought into the whole "rockstar" developer mentality. But life happened: I got married and had children. I much prefer a work-life balance and treasure my time with my family more than work. That's not too say I don't give my all when I'm at work, but I don't let it intrude into my "real" life anymore.
