I find the secret is realizing all the “time” you had without kids was largely squandered and you have just as much time now with kids you just have to manage it more (this is especially true once they hit 4 and beyond). I have two kids myself, still get tons of time to work on projects or game. I cook dinner every night, help with chores, and have time with my partner. We just have to manage it more than when we didn’t have kids. That’s the secret to me.
