Well, I would say, "when you have three kids under 12 and a M-F day job but you eat dinner with your family only once a week and you spend 1/3 of your weekend waking hours, every weekend, with people other than your partner and kids." One could blame the career or the sports, depending on one's biases, but something does look pretty unbalanced there.
