Free time: what do you do with it? (If you get any)

Crochet, I like to make those tie blankets for people for holidays or birthdays, paint, color, experiment with makeup, play some video games haha just get some sun outside with some bubbles or chalk
I crochet. I'm most likely to work on it if its changing a lot so stuffed animals is great, but a baby blanket is mindless while holding a sleeping baby. Baking can be done with a child.
@courtney I actually have been listening to some videos and I found a few taking about making faux stained glass with some paints. I’m planning a craft doing this with my toddler.
I make my time. I actually tell him “I’m doing my nails, or I’m talking to a friend” and he knows that means watch the toddler so the toddler doesn’t disturb me. My salsa classes have a set day and time each week so I get ready and go to those and he stays home w the baby. You need to make time. It’d be a different story if I was a single mum w no man in the house. (If that’s the case I’d probably have a whole weekend to myself every week with him coparenting) But since I do, I utilise him for my time and my breaks and my hobbies and all my social activities w gfs etc he’s the one looking after baby.
I listen to audiobooks while cleaning, I garden mostly for extra food but the kids like helping and it’s good learning for them even in the winter months when it’s just a few potted plants in the house, same with baking, we like to hike when weather permits it, when we have a free day and chores are done I’ll play video games with my kids. Now my kids aren’t babies anymore so that affects it but with babies or toddlers you can paint with them, swim, hike, cook or bake, and anything you can think of. As long as they’re occupied and you like it. As for stained glass, that might be something you have to wait on as molten glass is a safety hazard if you don’t have time to yourself. Maybe try painting stained glass crafts?
