When they are born it’s really chaotic. All the stereotypes apply: sleepless nights, etc. after they grow, it gets easier. After my kid was past that phase it was really smooth. My wife and I got our hobbies, had time to do stuff we liked, etc. It all comes down do partnership. We had our second after our first was in his early teens and all the chaos is back and it’s a bit harder now because its 2 but we still manage to have our private time, although it’s been limited. tl;dr: it shouldn’t be time consuming.
