Zero personal time - it hasn't got better as they get older

Sorry Dads, this is a rant.

I get zero time for me. I wake up at 6am and do things for other people until roughly 10pm. The only "me time" i get is my commute to work. Or maybe the 20 minutes i read before falling asleep.

Everyone said "as the kids get older, you'll get some time back for yourself". The oldest is in double digits now and can play or read independently but the younger one 7 is is quite needy.

Every spare moment is spent doing housework. My wife helps a bit (and cooks dinner) but between laundry, making breakfast and lunches, doing dishes and the general picking up around the house (not to mention outside) I'm lucky to have 15 minutes to breathe. We paid cleaners for a monthly deep clean but the constant picking up after half started and abandoned projects is non stop.

Okay, sorry I have nothing positive to add. This winter has felt like an ice age.
