[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would I count errands & grocery shopping as part of my free time? Feeding children is a required task. Dealing with inconsiderate shoppers, out of stock items that require me to re-plan meals on the fly in aisle 4 and generally being in the grocery store is not relaxing or for me. This is weird.[/quote]

I agree.  I definitely consider watching Netflix on the couch while kids are playing or sleeping free time, and I do not consider grocery shopping or errands as free time.  
I am guessing that OP is a new mom and feels like things she did pre-kid are free time because she just feels normal when she does them.  Whereas sitting at home on a Friday night binge-watching friends does not feel normal.    [/quote]

I feel like the question should have been, "How many hours do you spend outside of the house alone?" Free time is not picking up prescriptions or filling the gas tank. ITA that free time can be had in the home. I will go lay down to read and tell no one to bother me until x time. Yes, the children could have an emergency, but they could call with a problem while at the salon or grocery store too.[/quote]
