[quote=Anonymous]OP, it’s not a priority for your family.  Like you, DH and I have three kids and work FT.  We have no helpful local family.  Still, I work out daily and DH ~5 times/week.  We walk the kids to school and from aftercare.  The kids have assorted sports practices throughout the week, varying depending on the season.

The difference?  Fitness is a high, high priority.  We deliberately avoided “demanding” jobs with long hours and long commutes.  Usually the people who have those kinds of jobs have options for something more flexible, but they choose otherwise.  Same with housing, options for school, etc.  When fitness is a priority, it’s a priority.

Also, why do you need to stay up until midnight cleaning?  Every day?  What are you doing that your house is that messy?  Get your kids to help clean up, clean as you go, etc.  No, we don’t have house cleaners.  You have time for music lessons and a crap ton of homework - those are your priorities.  Fine, but don’t act like those of us who prioritize exercise for ourselves and our kids have some kind of magical Time Machine.  We don’t.[/quote]
