[quote=Anonymous]I agree that the busy olympics is tiresome and most of us have more time than we realize, it's just spent scrolling on our phones (which is fine! decompressing is fine) or because we put our kids in too many activities. That being said, it sounds like you may never experience it being one and done but the transition and impact on your time in moving to two kids is A LOT, in my experience. And like another poster said, as your kids get older and sleep less it just really does eat away from that time that you have right now with one 1 year old. It gets way easier in some ways, but from a time perspective I feel like I have less alone time than I did with one 1 year old for sure. My 4 year old doesn't fall asleep til fairly late on weekdays when he naps at prek. This is very common. We still put him to bed early but you can't fully relax when he's in there awake, sometimes calling for us (and no I can't just ignore him, he's 4 and it just doesn't work like that once they get older, we have boundaries and don't just keep going in but it just gets more complex).

Anyway, this is just to say it's good to not make assumptions about folks time. Being home all day with two kids sounds pretty exhausting to me now that I have two. Managing both their schedules which of course are not going to line up. That being said there is still no reason to whine about not having time to watch TV. I don't watch TV really but it's because i'm someone that goes to bed pretty early and don't love tv as much as some (spend plenty of time scrolling my phone mindlessly or on this site unfortunately)[/quote]
