I'm 46 with a 3 year old I spend a lot of time with (21-24 hours a week). I love that time but it's a little depressing to only have 5 years of free time left.

Pretty eye opening to see it as a total number.
- skizm 7y agoIf you enjoy the time with your kid, you're probably okay :)
- pavel_lishin 7y ago> with a 3 year old This was my first thought. The calculator is fine, but not all free time is equal. If the kid's having a not-great night, and is _finally_ asleep by 10pm, I theoretically have an hour before I have to go to sleep, but I'm tired and realistically I'm just going to click around for awhile before going to bed. Ditto if I'm up at 6:30; I theoretically have 30 minutes, but who knows when the kid'll wake up. Maybe I have 30 minutes, maybe I have zero. It's as if free time had a half-life.
- marsrover 7y agoI put 40 for a 2 year old. About 3-4 hours after work each day and full days on weekends.
- jason_slack 7y agoI’m 42 with 2 babies under 2. It seems I have 3 years free time left. Hmm too bad I can’t get the 3 years in a single stretch. :-).
