No way. Family puts alot of "make money now" and "be home for dinner" pressure on you. Hardly a good environment for doing research. Not even bringing kids into the equation.
At an old job (natl. lab) there was a guy who does his research job for, maybe, two or three hours a day. The rest of the day he is reading unrelated books.
But those three hours are so productive that by March he has filled his employer's scientific paper quota. His managers hate him because they see his fucking around 70% of the time, but by any performance metric (especially quality. His papers are the consequential ones)he's blowing everyone away.
