Ask HN: For those who don't have children, what do you do during your free time?

I have 3 kids, i often ask myself this in a slightly different form: what the heck did I do with all my time before I had kids?

I don't know. It's like a mental block. I know it involved a lot more reading for fun and videogames, but that's a vague piece of knowledge that lacks detailed memories. I have a lot more fun now though, with the kids. I laugh a lot more.

I'm in exactly the same boat.

The conclusion I have come to is that we got way more efficient at doing pretty much everything, or eliminating things that we felt were just a complete waste of time. Which is probably why everything feels rushed all the time (at least to me).

Yep, it definitely enforces a lot of streamlining

Yeah, I never feel lonely now. I remember feeling lonely all time before my daughter.
