How much time do you spend on hobbies?

Especially if you work full time and have young children.

How much time do you have/ allow yourself for hobbies?

I do a bit of sport/exercise, maybe 3 or 4 hours a week.

I'd like to do a part- time university course as well for about 6 or 8 hours a week, some during my lunch break or after the children are in bed, but some would have to be when they are up.

Is this too much? How much hobby time do you think is fair, and how much do you have?

None. Work full time, primary aged kids, pets, no childcare or cleaner or family support. Weekdays is dedicated to work, dealing with homework, cooking, caring for pets. Weekends is chores and DIY, more homework and caring responsibilities. I don’t really have any fun at all, bar going out with friends once every 1-2 months at most.
