> Most people can sacrifice 3 months of their life and not see their loved ones. It is really only 3 months of your life.

Most people with kids live on the edge of a precarious childcare cliff. It's a marvel of logistics to allow both parents to keep their jobs as it is--3 months of one parent holing up would push the whole family over the edge of that cliff. What is your spouse going to do, take 3 months off work?

I didn't mean to make it sound easy. But running a business is difficult and that is only one problem to overcome. If you can't solve that problem for a pretty short amount of time then maybe it is not the right time to create the business.

After YC it is not like you can go home and do nothing. If anything things would get much more difficult. Especially if you raise money from investors.
