No but it does get worse after you have kids. Ah who am I kidding, this is a greentext post.

But then you get kids. Definitely better than video games.

Father of 3 kids under 6, I still play an hour or so a day, some weekends I get a night to play with friends.
And I have time for work in commercial electrician. Come home to work on my garden, chickens, greenhouse, and hang with the kids and family.
Going to be doing my own solar in the next week or two. Tonight going to a mtg mh3 event with a friend to play some magic.
All weekend to chill with my children, wife, and enjoy some parks. Once kids are asleep I’ll watch a movie with my wife.
Life is good. Time for everything.

Are you guys dual income though? How do you have time to keep your home clean? I don’t even have kids but with full time work I struggle.

I’m full time (40 hours) and my wife is a stay at home mom. She might work in the summer for delta airlines as a gate agent but that’s if the season allows for it. Either way that income is less than $5k for the year so it’s not for the money, but the flight benefits.
The home being clean… Well we let a lot of things get surface dirty because cleaning after the kids is a full time job in and of itself. We’ll deep clean once a week, dishes are cleaned right away, toys after you’re done, beds, sheets, carpets and deep floor weekly. We got a system. My wife does an amazing job. I make sure our vacuums work lol.
