I feel like this is pretty normal no? Gym in the morning go to work, come home potter round with projects, cook dinner socialise and lazy out for the rest of the night. On weekends you can spend all day on hobbies then go out at night.
Yeah I’d also consider the after work childcare duties to be partially social and fun. I say partial because stuff like getting them organised is annoying but hanging out with them is fun.
I’d totally understand if parents said they were to overwhelmed to find time for their side projects and hobbies but they should* be able to find time for exercise, fun, social and a good nights sleep(once the kids aren’t young).

I have similar experience. Only possible because I’m child-free. If you add a dependant in the mix I’m cooked.
I was going to say that the big thing missing in the OP is parental responsibilities. Good luck!
