I’m going solid from 6a-8p
If something isn’t broken or a project doesn’t need done, i get at best a couple hours a night right before bed to read/consume/extra sleep
My wife is going solid from about 10-10, spends a little extra time with the kids and gets an hour or two to herself.
On the weekend, we lose a couple extra hours to sleeping in, about 2/3 of that list still happens, but now there’s yard work and taking the kids places. extra meals to cook.
In my 20’s and early 30’s there were no kids making messes and breaking things and when it was just us, so what if the dishwasher is overfull or the counter wasn’t cleaned. and we could afford to eat out more.
