My schedule

Being at the point of mid-life, my worry is that life passes besides me at a high speed. I like my job, I have a very good income and I know I'm close to the top of the pyramid, but I spend my working time along many people who don't really appreciate me (a few truly hate me). But I spend little time with my family and even less with my friends, parents and other relatives.

Here's my schedule:

6 AM: Waking up

6:30 AM: Running to the bus

7:30 AM: Arriving at work

16:30 PM: Leaving work

17:45 PM: Arriving home

From 17:45 PM to 19 PM: Eating, bathing the kids, helping my son with his homeworks

19 PM: Doing the lunches for tomorrow, cleaning the floor because the baby spills her meal at every dinner. Trying to learn her a few words or to stimulate her in any way.

20 PM: Putting the kids to bed and being exhausted.

22 PM: Going to bed

I fucking spend about 2 hours a day with my family and these 2 hours are spent eating at high speed then doing all the stuff a father should do, but being often irritated by all the noise in the house. That's it, 2 fucking hours over a 24 hours period where I try to develop something constructive.

You may earn 100 000$ a year, or even 500 000$ a year, that schedule is simply crazy. Isn't it crazy to realize that you spend more time on the bus than with your kids?

And you don't even have to have a family to find something crazy there. How the fuck evolution has lead us to spend so much time with people that we don’t like?
