We don't do shit during the week, we do any and all projects on the weekends. our average weekday with a 2 year old usually looks like:
I get home from work at 5 and start cooking dinner while trying to keep the 2 year old from wrecking the house while my back is turned
Wife gets home at 6, we all eat.
7-8 is bathtime for the kiddo, and then pajamas and storytime, kid is in bed by 8
So from 8pm on is parent free time. Watch tv, play video games, whatever. My wife is usually asleep by 10, I'm up until 12.
Then we save all of our projects(yardwork, grocery shopping, whatever) for the weekend. Since the kid is only 2, its not like his weekend is full of soccer practices or school activities yet.
Things don't really get hectic until your kids are in school, pre-pregnancy and the first few years after birth are pretty laid back compared to what I see family members with school-aged children doing all the time.
