Yeah, pretty much. Both parents work M-F, somebody’s got a practice or two. Rush home for dinner, homework, house work. If you can get the family around a dinner table it’s a bonus. Usually a game on Saturday...possibly one of those 3 or 4 game two-day tournaments if a kid is doing travel. Church on Sunday and by time you’re home it’s time to get ready for the next week. Throw in a few holidays, date or two a month with your lady, some sort of family vacation...buying groceries, cutting grass, kids sleepovers, maybe a cookout, then the extended family, grandparents.
Lord help you of you’re a single parent.....even more if you’re dating a single parent, because you can take all that and multiply it times 2 and worse if one of the ex spouses is an ass.
So yeah, an empty rained out afternoon, coupla boxes of 22LR and a box of Corlokts and some range time for a few hours feels like you’ve won the phuqqin lottery. Not to mention that it becomes an easy pass if your honey wants to curl up on the couch for a spell....
Just some perspective from the trenches......life is good.
