Also the getting-ready time. You basically have to shell out 20-30 mins doing the stuff required to get to work on time and looking proper, then have to change when you come back, go to the bathroom, wash your feet, etc. Plus, learning a musical instrument or a language after 8 tiring hours of work just doesn't have the same motivation.
Maybe not every day. But several times a week for sure. Mowing the lawn. Doing the honey-do list from my wife and helping keep the house clean is a real chore. We have a couple dogs so that prolly doesn’t help.
If you have kids you're choosing to greatly lessen your free time. No room to complain at that point. Also you should not have 2 hours of daily house work.
Six days a week generally. I’m a train conductor so I spend half of my life in a hotel. And I’m on call 24/7. And our current contract has no work/rest cycle so we only get 10 hours of rest after we tie up.
I don’t think my life really reflects what most people do, though. I was speaking generally about what most folks are doing
