Indeed. I’m a middle-aged domestic suburban dad. I have a newly-chronically-ill girlfriend and a small child (and two step-teenagers). Thankfully I can work from home as often as I need to, which turns out to be most days of a week. And I’m presently looking for outside hours consulting income, because a family of five can eat all the money you can think of.
But I take LW out of my internet-as-television time budget. Time I am deliberately relaxing. I’m here because I enjoy it, while I enjoy it.
There are those who are not happy with this level of commitment, of course. So one should think carefully whether getting any of someone’s time is better than none, or if you really do only want committed time.
