[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The fit spouse either works out at home after the kids are in bed, during their lunch break, or occasionally goes to the gym with the kids in tow to drop them off at the gym's childcare. The other spouse typically spends this time on their computer and/or playing video games; they indeed are responsible for more chores because they wanted multiple pets and agreed to do all of the pet care.[/quote]

These are times that you might be spending time together as a couple or a family, and instead you are going to the gym.  I’m not sayin that one of these things is better than the other, but you can’t spend a lot of your free time doing something and then claim that you aren’t missing out on anything else.  [/quote]

OP here. Nope, I'm not missing out on anything. I exercise for about 2 hours a week total when the kids are asleep and my spouse would be ignoring me for their computer / video games anyway. I use the gym childcare about once every 2 weeks.

I think you are lying to yourself that you aren’t missing out on anything.  That’s just not how time works.  We all have 24 hours in a day.  If you are spending an hour doing something, then you are not spending that hour doing something else.  You cannot organize your life so that you can spend 5-10 hours a week doing something and give up nothing in order to do it.

Sounds like OP gave up sleep and lunch breaks. [/quote]
