I'm also very curious how you fit in time for those activities while home by yourself with young kids. Did you work outside the home? Did you have sitters? Can you give a clearer picture of how you balanced your life?
I struggle to fit in time for my day to day stuff, and am reluctant to give up time with my D, or pay for sitters. I have some time on the weekends that I use to see friends or run errands or frankly, catch up/rest.
