I'm on both; really enjoying the art sharing community vibe of PixelFed rather than the constant influencer attention seeking shower of IG.
We just take it in turns.
I don't mind the early waking too much since that's when I get up for work anyway!
Sport saddles shouldn't hurt either, but they're designed to be used with cycling shorts which provide padding without the friction.
We both do 5 days in 4 (compressed hours) so we only have to pay for 3 days of childcare. I get to do fun things for a day with my kid, and the weekends are normal.

Maybe we got lucky with our kid's sleep? I remember it was awful while my partner was on mat leave, but now they sleep through the night most nights so it's usually other shit that'll keep us up.
We have family time and take it in turns to have alone time. We also need less sleep than the kid.
I'm finding very little of this thread resonates with me. I have a toddler who I love and get to spend a whole day off with during the week. I still get to do my running, cycling, rock climbing. I get some reading done most nights.
I've mostly sacrificed video games and social life, but rock climbing is social and a happy child is far more rewarding than games.
There are sacrifices, but I don't feel like I've given up my life. Is this because I don't live in the USA?
