Does websurfing count? I like cooking, too.

Camping and hiking too.

What are your interests, OP? Indoors, out? Are you creative?

There are great cooking classes in the area.

If time and money were not problems, I'd take sailing classes (did this a couple years ago and it was soooo much fun), get a road bike, and go to wine events. I'd have more dinner parties if we had a nicer place.

used to climb, hike, volunteer, book club.

now - i work and take care of the baby.

i'd be interested in reading the responses. i know i need to get a little of the old me back...

I need some real hobbies too. Preferably some that do not involve volunteering at my children's schools.

I wish I lived on the water so I could windsurf or paddleboard or do something fun and athletic.

How about kayaking on the Potomac?

Oh, and a book club (part of the reading hobby). Helps me be more social, too.

Does sleeping count? Of course, there's no time for that hobby.

crossword puzzles!!!!

I think moms get to have hobbies. Moms take their kids to art lessons, music lessons, etc. I know some kids who go to lessons/classes three times a week. Why can't moms do those things too? I want to take adult ed classes.

What kind of painting do you do? Do you take classes or do it on your own?

I need hobbies too, I am so boring!

Painting, piano. I have much more time now that kids are teens. It was hard to do when they were in early elementary and younger.

I need to find some new hobbies. What are some of yours? Do you have time to do them as a parent?
