[quote=Anonymous]Let me count the ways.

1) I no longer bike 15 miles round trip to work 3x a week. I now run 3x a week but I have basically cut my exercise time in 1/3 because i no longer have the free time.

2) But if I'm not spending my time commuting why don't i just replace it with exercise? Because my day is split into work and childcare shifts from 7 am to 6 PM. After 6 I have to make dinner, bathe the kids, and get them to bed, which usually takes until 9 PM. At that point I'm exhausted, it's dark out, I have to deal with stuff like health and financial paperwork and packing to move, and i just want 30 damn minutes to myself. And I consider myself very lucky that i don't have to log back on for work after my kids are asleep!

3) I'd like to spend more time outside with my kids, but it has been a HOT summer, and now it's a rainy and humid week. We don't feel safe going to our local public pool, which we'd normally do in this weather. The baby is too small to put on a bike. We are just too cooped up. It sucks. I'm not trying to keep my kids stuck indoors but we're apartment dwellers and the options are limited.

4) It's harder to buy lots of fruits and vegetables when you're shopping in person less frequently, and harder to cook them when you are short on dinner prep time due to childcare. I have tried to order boxes ahead from wholesale services and farms for curbside pickup, but honestly my days are so hectic i find it difficult to remember to do so at least 2 days in advance.
