That sounds like BS. I have two kids and I can usually eek out an hour every day, sometimes two. So that puts me at 7 hours minimum, but I can usually make 10-2

That sounds like BS. I have two kids and I can usually eek out an hour every day, sometimes two. So that puts me at 7 hours minimum, but I can usually make 10-20 happen. My kids wake up around 7 and go to sleep around 8. If we assume 8 hours of sleep, that leaves me with 3 hours unaccounted for every day. Perhaps they're counting chores as "not free time", but most of those can be done while doing other things. For example, clean dishes while waiting for a pot to boil, or clean the toilet after or before taking a shower. I've done these types of things to free up time after my kids go to bed. If they're safe enough for me to get the restroom, they're probably safe enough for me to clean something. I wonder how much time we'd end up with if we included time on a smartphone not doing productive tasks. It seems people spend time on their phone when they have a few minutes instead of doing chores, and then do those chores during their "free time". If you want more free time, find ways to squishing more into your non-free time.
