[quote=Anonymous]Two kids - a 2 yr old who takes a PM nap and a non-napping 6 yo.

DH and I go to gym on weekday mornings.  On weekday evenings after kids are asleep, we: order groceries and receive the delivery, do all bill-paying and whatever other "paper work" stuff that crops up, and do most laundry.  We minimize errands by ordering online pretty much anything that can be.  We have a cleaning lady.  I also have a job where I can steal chunks of time to get non-work stuff done or run an occasional errand during the week.

Weekends - DH goes for early morning run on Saturday; I go for one on Sunday.  No gym.  Almost no errands (exception would be like something related to the car or maybe a home repair.)  No housework, other than tidying up after ourselves.  Saturday morning before nap is typically a bigger outing -- zoo, museum, pool, hike, festival, that kind of thing.  Then nap for 2 yo, during which parents do something quiet at-home with 6 yo.  Often its popping popcorn and snuggling up for a movie, but also sometimes something crafty.  After nap, back out but for something more low-key -- walk or bike ride around neighborhood, play at a playground, etc.  Sundays my kids have swim class, which we follow up with brunch.  After that it's kind of whatever...but see above that it is not errands, housework, etc.   Never have issues fitting in bday parties or playdates.    We like to eat out a lot on weekends, and also like to cook nicer dinners.  We're typically on-time for my 2 yo's nap, but she's not one to fall apart if its a bit later on weekends; same with her bedtimes.
