MarxistI have a 6 year old.  So, I can't really leave the house at night, and he goes to bed at 9 :/ So wtf else am I gonna do besides play video games.  I didn't play comp tf2 while I was in college though - simply chose to do other things. 
It all comes down to how much time you're willing to commit, and how much sleep you're willing to sacrifice.  For me that's a lot of lost sleep.
This is the truth, when you get older and have a family you play when everyone else goes to bed.  So you sacrifice sleep. This is probably why men die younger than their wives. It was easier when I only had 1 kid but with more kids I'm twice as tired by the time I get them to bed. Then I have to do some quality time with my wife, so my personal time starts anywhere from 9:30-10:30 at night.

				CanFoI work 40 hours a week and just reserve 3 nights per week for TF2. I am playing on a more casual team so it is also not a problem to cancel a night every other week.
To answer your question: It is probably just about priorities. If you want to play competitive TF2 more than do other things, you will make room for it.
This for me too. Although I put the time in to improve when I was a student so now I don't need to play much to maintain/slowly improve my skill level.
