FI while locked into the school calendar?

I'm getting close to FI--just a couple years out. I have two young kids, a 3 year old and a baby. By the time I'm able to FI, at least my oldest will be in school. Can the community share with me about how to make FI feel worth it while locked into the school calendar? I have a good, high paying, relatively low stress, relatively engaging job. But at some point more money isn't very motivating. But if I don't have anything better to do with my time, why quit? I feel like with my kids in school, it'll really restrict my ability to do more extensive travel/time away from home. My kids also won't be home all day during work/school hours. I realize that there's probably plenty of ways to fill those hours, but wanted to hear from others how they plan to or have filled their hours in a family with school age kids? Part of me is just trying to wrap my head around what life with young school age kids feels like -- are you so busy with their activities that you don't even have time for your own things? What activities do you pursue that balance family time and self-fulfillment well? Thanks for your thoughts! submitted by /u/knee_on_a [link] [comments]
