Hi Ralph...Well its not mean to help a tree live up to 3 times longer than an average tree in nature...That's what I tell my wife...But then again she loves bonsai and is also pregnant.
As to the wasted time and productivity question you could always turn it into a sideline business...Try doing a little Asian landscaping for friends...Works for me...
Join a club...or find a bonsai buddy....and keep doing bonsai for your kids sake.
My two daughters aged 4 and 6 love playing around my trees with their toy fairies. They both have their own collection and help me trim my trees when I like it or not...and I firmly believe they are getting the best upbringing on the planet helping me in the rainforest and beaches collect trees and ideas for trees.
Happy growing
