Today is a Saturday so I'll only cover my weekend routine.
* 6:30AM - Wake up, make coffee & check interent.
* 7AM - Wake up our toddler, feed him, dress him.
* 8AM - Hand the toddler over to my wife, who will care for him until he has his mid-day nap. Generally waking up again at 1PM.
* 8AM-1PM - Enjoy my own free time, surfing, smoking, sitting in a hammock, shopping, etc.
* 1PM-5PM - Entertain our toddler. Take him to a park, play with him at home, etc.
* 5PM-6PM - Relax some more - as my wife is in charge for an hour.
* 6PM-7:30PM - Play with the toddler, then give him a bath and put him to bed.
* 8PM - Watch TV with my wife, talk, or otherwise do stuff.
* 10PM - Go to sleep.
Weekdays I'm in charge from 7AM-4PM or so, and alternate giving the child a bath and putting him to sleep every other evening.
I wrote about this on my blog in the past:

- whatsstolat 8y agoThat's a lot of free time with a young kid. I find that weekend are pretty full of chores when not directly looking after them. 1-2 dishwasher loads. 1 washing machine load. Tidy house. Buy food. Clean all the mess. I have 2 children tho. I do try to very occasionally get some surfing in. 30min drive to beach so not too bad.
- jakobegger 8y agoSmaller kids sleep more. Once they stop napping they have two extra hours per day of making a mess, and you have two fewer hours to clean up after them :)
- stevekemp 8y agoI guess when you say that I realize you're right; each of us has "half" the day off each weekend. During the week I'm a stay at home dad, so I take care of him from approximately 7AM until 4AM, then an hour or so in the evening. I've started to become very productive during his 2-hour lunchtime nap!
