I imagine this affects many parents. I would love to know how many parents successfully manage this (or, perhaps, success is simply defined as raising your kids well)?

You absolutely need to prioritize getting 30-60 mins of exercise at least 5 times per week. Block out time on your work calendar if you have to. The cognitive / health / mood benefits will make up for the lost time.

A home gym setup will save you the 30-40 mins to and from the gym. Barring space for any equipment / weights some exercise bands and a yoga mat will do. App based fitness classes such as AppleFitness+ also make it much much easier to program your workouts.

Turn your chores into exercise. I get miles per week sweeping and mopping.

People seem to have all sorts of problems from having kids. Some have no problem with weight gain but their marriage falls apart. I guess I'm glad I got what I got instead of that.

The "successful" parents become very good at time management and focus. IMO, it's our super power.
