I recently had a boss tell me that the two hours I used to spend standing on a packed train being coughed on by other commuters was "your time." I must conclude that the parent poster either has a similar worldview to that boss, or has someone who takes care of the chores for them so they have more time available for wakeboarding.

The 1-3 hours that I have to spend being fucking fried and incapacitated after concluding another packed, overly-long workday are, likewise, "my time." Such a blessing.

If it's not your time, who's is it?

It's lost time, simple as

Commuting is the one thing I simply cannot stand wasting time on

Very early in my career i worked a job with a 1 hour each way commute. Quit it after a year and never again applied to a job that was more than 30mins from my house - best decision I ever made

Of course then covid came and now I work remotely with 0 mins commute.

Grocery shopping, cooking, household chores take up maybe 1 hour max per day for me, average probably more like 30mins

These are all the things that new parents have no time for.

Exercise? lol

Shopping? Need to plan for it.

Cooking? Near impossible if the other parent is not around.

Me and my wife don’t have any problems finding time for these things with only one child!
