How do you separate how much having kids affects this, and how much of it is just being 30+ and not taking care of own health?

I have a few childless friends who say the same thing word for word.

Like 95% kids.

I had a week where the kids were with Grandma and Grandpa. I got more done on a Wednesday after work than I did in the previous few weeks including weekends.

I don't think everyone needs kids and I don't subscribe to the 'moral high ground' of having kids, BUT I have zero sympathy for childless peers that think their life is too busy.
