So, how exactly does one go about GAL when they have young children at home? As I mentioned, I have been losing weight (some of that is from going out to exercise - but the exercise isn't new), getting back into my faith - going to church every week now, developing more career options, meeting friends for dinner or movies, etc. However, most of the time, when my daughter is awake, I try to be home. When I do go do things, it is after she goes to bed, most of the time.

I mean, I could do more, but to do so would have negative drawbacks. I'd have to miss out on time with my daughter, which I'd rather not do. And, it would put more responsibility on my wife to always have to watch her while I'm out doing my thing, which would only anger her.
