Well, to be fair, the local conventions that my wife and I do enjoy provide some childcare, but they're not willing to take on a 2 year old. Once my little sprout hits about five or six, we'll be able to lend her off to the childrens programs and get a little more time for our own pursuits.
The main reason I'm not involved in Worldcon is because it's not a priority for me - I'm not willing to commit the resources and time to travel to them. (Some folks do - a couple in my scifi group started with Denvention and has hit just about every Worldcon since then, and of course so does Ken.) I'm happy enough with our local fannish experiences alongside my other hobbies... I don't expect Worldcon to change to suit me, but on the other hand, Worldcon doesn't expect me to change to suit it. :)
