Commute, exercise, grocery shopping, cooking, household upkeep? All the usual stuff?

  I recently had a boss tell me that the two hours I used to spend standing on a packed train being coughed on by other commuters was "your time." I must conclude that the parent poster either has a similar worldview to that boss, or has someone who takes care of the chores for them so they have more time available for wakeboarding. The 1-3 hours that I have to spend being fucking fried and incapacitated after concluding another packed, overly-long workday are, likewise, "my time." Such a blessing.

  These are all the things that new parents have no time for. Exercise? lol Shopping? Need to plan for it. Cooking? Near impossible if the other parent is not around.

    Me and my wife don’t have any problems finding time for these things with only one child!

  Commuting is the one thing I simply cannot stand wasting time on Very early in my career i worked a job with a 1 hour each way commute. Quit it after a year and never again applied to a job that was more than 30mins from my house - best decision I ever made Of course then covid came and now I work remotely with 0 mins commute. Grocery shopping, cooking, household chores take up maybe 1 hour max per day for me, average probably more like 30mins

I spend an hour a day getting in and out of bed (including feeding the cat etc), about two hours cooking/eating/cleaning the kitchen and then there is stuff like shopping, cleaning the rest of the apartment, and various other chores. I also try to get at least half an hour of exercise a day. On typical weekdays I have at best three hours of actual free time. Weekends are of course a little better.
