[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP's question was "how do you do it?"

My answer is that we focus on our family first. We spend enough time away from each other during the week, we don't have time for daily personal pursuits. We value our family time.We occasionally do things solo but that is extremely rare.

Did you hear "family first" at the Glenn Beck rally yesterday?

Why does 'family first' have to mean you spend every waking minute together as a unit?   OP, I agree with those that say training for a big bike ride and hanging out with friends after with a new baby is immature - that life is bye-bye for years especially if you have more children - but a couple of hours a weekend of time to zone out would seem to be normal.  There are a lot of hours in a weekend.

Did your husband's father participate in child raising?  My husband has been a stay at home dad for years and he [i]still [/i]slips into thinking Sundays are his just because his father played golf and watched football all day.

Not the pp, but I think most posters agreed that 2-3 of "me time" per week, per parent is about right.[/quote]
