I used to ride bicycle with my friend a few times every week 10 years ago. Now it's a distant dream. Both of us have families and full time job so barely getting enough sleep. Weekends are usually spent on chores or personal projects that never get finished.

Those were the good days.

Amen brother. I walk about an hour a day, most every day, and do some light weights. It's the perfect amount of clear-your-head-and-think time for me, and makes me feel tons better. But it's a tradeoff about what doesn't get done (or that I push off on my wife & family) because I do it. The theme some folks in this thread are pushing that "oh, just take 3-4 hours a day...no big deal anyone can do that...you have nothing more important to do" is seriously defective.

Exactly. It's always trade off. I actually don't spend a lot of time on my kid because my parents are helping a lot. That will change in a year or so and I'd have even less time. Just hope he can sleep throughout the night without waking up so that we can grab more sleep.

The sleep gets easier, and the challenges change to new ones every few years!

Thanks! My friends told me that already :)

I figured I'd probably have more free time when he goes to middle school when teenager rebellion kicks in. In about ten years.

You will be fine. You aren't the first parent to do this.
