[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Boomer when I had a 1 and a 3 year old I left my house for work exactly 655 am every day, caught 704 am to work. Arrived at 815am and worked till 620 and took 647 train home and arrived at home 730pm.

I also volunteered was on two boards, did business trips, took kids to park, vacation, cleaned up kitchen every night, changed diapers, threw family parties, helped with everything

What was secret my life was work and family. I also stay up to 12 midnight and get up at 6am. On weekends I devote my weekend to family, did home repairs, laundry. Go to supermarket and we had a do .

With no cell phone or internet tons more time. And I moved to Suburbs so focused on family and did not ever hand out friends or do activities of my own.

Work life balance is nonsense. You need to grow up. Have your fun pre kids and post kids

Yesterday a 45 year old “child man” asked to do WFH 3 days instead of two. He lives in a condo with zero maint, just two kids, his wife is full time wfh. But he literally has one million hobbies, going out friends, on phone texting, playing video games. It is as work and his family are just annoyances.

Why is Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders still around? The next few generations are too lazy to devote time and effort into careers. The are all FIRE, WLB, WFH.

And their get rich quick schemes like crypto, meme stocks and Airbnb empires are going to collapse economy and leave US laughing stock of world.

I’m willing to bet your “secret” was a stay at home spouse who took care of everything on the home front during the week so you could do what you did. Something that’s no longer economically doable for most young families in the US today.[/quote]

My 2 year old wakes up at 7 and goes to bed at 7:30.  By your own estimate, you would be gone her entire waking hours Monday through Friday.  That's how you did it.[/quote]
