    Kid down early, chores done quickly, look at clock, how TF is it 10pm? Hobby time 20m fighting with codex until too lazy to reach from couch to keyboard, and focus on shitty tv for 15m. Wake up at 11pm. Go to bed. Wake up at 5am. Chores until 7am. Sit down to morning journal and take shower, right as kid is up. School, work, Lemmy on biobreak. And today was the healthy timeline.

      My gaming/hobby time is typically after getting the kids down too. As long as I don’t sit down and get distracted, I can manage to get some good time in, but my brain is tired by then.

      Right there with you.

      Wake up at 530. Get myself ready. Wake the kids up. Get the kids ready and fed. Out the door by 720 to get then to school then me to work by 830. Work until 5. Drive home, an hour if traffic sucks.

      On a good day, my wife beats me home and has dinner going. An hour to 1.5 hr family time before kids get ready for bed. Get them down, clean the kitchen from breakfast, to-go lunches, and dinner. And its 10pm.

      How are we supposed to get by?
