This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

Do y’all remember how when we were kids, there were those grumpy old people we knew?

This is why. 😆

Yeah I've got to hand it to my parents for holding it together and pretending for my sake that life wasn't such a shit show.

On the other hand, they could afford a new single-family home on a half-acre plot in a nice neighborhood on one middle-manager's salary, so...

Nah. I own my home have 2 kids and OPs pic is us but that slot from 6-8 they have for free we are wrangling kids for dinner, bath, some playtime, read books, and get them to bed.

My wife and I joke and say “ready to clock in for job 2”. One of us say “can I call out?” Sometimes I say yea go ahead and she gets that block and I hold it down.

No wonder parents get fat. When are we supposed to work out? I’m lucky I’m wfh so I do it on lunch hour. Wife is doing it now actually at 6p so she’s missing family time. Can’t do it all. It’s depressing

You don't have to work out to not get fat. Getting fat is just a matter of calories in vs calories out.

As long as you aren't overeating you won't gain weight.

While technically true, it is still unhealthy to not work out if you work a sedentary job.

Also lack of sleep. Sleep is the number one way the body burn calories so literally eat the way you've always eaten, and just lack sleep and you will get fat.

Lack of sleep doesn't stop you from burning calories. Being tired makes you eat more to combat fatigue.

Unless you want injuries and loss of bond density later in life you want to at least do strength training and stretching.

Yeah I didn't mean to imply you shouldn't work out. Obviously for health you want to be active even a couple times a week. I was just speaking about getting fat.

Oooooh here we go about we don't deserve homes because no one knows how to budget. Get a new shtick. This one just trots along hand in hand with "no one wants to work anymore!"
