Get an old motorcycle.

Gardening

Boating, fishing, camping stuff you can get the kids involved with.

I enjoy shooting a lot. Weather can create some issues (fire dangers etc.) and its expensive but fun, especially as I improve. I've also spent a lot more time socializing. Like you, I have my kids 50% of the time and I'm on full Dad Detail one week on, one week off. We'll play poker or beer pong or go bowling or drinking. I play video games as well and sprinkle some sessions in throughout the week.

I’m looking at motorcycles and about to buy a metal detector.

Gym time, pottery, painting, playing a string instrument like a guitar or ukulele. Hiking, cycling, Mountain biking come to mind.

Start Golfing. I picked up a set and went about 15 times at the range. Its a great sport to go solo also as you can hop on to threesomes and play. Generally all golfers are awesome. Its also something that takes up some time so it’s a good schedule filler. Good exercise.

YeTuMamaTambien · 2022-03-02T01:30:05+00:00

I picked up woodworking, and expanded fishing with the boy.

Mpk mini is a great start. Make music! Uprgrade your gear if you get in to it. I spend a lot of time recording and mixing.

Grey_Bear_40 · 2022-03-02T03:14:34+00:00

I continued cooking but got more adventurous, started going to the gym, and went back to school.

Future-Platform8225 · 2022-03-02T03:20:01+00:00

Sounds like fitness is taking care of but new avenues of fitness are always a top rec. I myself love fly fishing and tying flies, guns, playing guitars, photography, building stuff for the kids or home improvements or things to sell, hiking and camping ( fits well with the fishing) there's billions of ways to waste your time, so waste time and money effectively. Stay away from another woman being your hobby.

ABBucsfan · 2022-03-02T03:56:10+00:00

Lot of people already mentioned gym. I'd add hiking. It's cheap just to do day hikes. If you're into more introverted things or a mix if add gaming and looking into a d&d group, read some books.

AdultishRaktajino · 2022-03-02T05:05:24+00:00

Not for everyone, but firefighting. I was too old to do it as a FT career but I joined my volunteer dept. Applied for one while married but didn't get a position nor any support really from my career-student ex to keep pursuing it.

Hard to go to calls when your parenting solo 100% of the time. Much easier when it's 50%.

PrettyCoolBear · 2022-03-02T06:06:50+00:00

I got back into music production pretty hardcore. That is a bottomless pit of gear and techniques to distract yourself with.

Also have been catching up with podcasts and films that I'd missed out on during the more stressful years.

Big_Apple-3A_M · 2022-03-02T06:25:36+00:00

Learning to ride a motorcycle, disc golf, hiking.

kaktuxmx · 2022-03-02T06:32:10+00:00

I started investing options and sport betting... But I have limits... I don't have kids and no alimony payments. For sports betting I do 40 or 50 for a deposit a month, and for the investment... 2k... No more... All for fun... And CrossFit classes, and on Tuesdays I go to kickball games, is a subscription for 8 weeks on a league.

Computer programming: check out Flutter tutorials (making apps) and Godot (making games) on Youtube. 100% free and very interesting / creative outlet.

Triathlons: If you've got 15yrs of BJJ (aside from injuries) then this is a good transition sport. Beside the full iron mans, you have Olympics - 1500m swin, 40k bike ride and 10k race. Or HIM (half Iron man) - 1.2mi swim, 52mi bike ride, 13.1mi run.

Travel: nuff said :)

Aviation: this can be a money pit, but if you've got it is one of the most rewarding things I do in life. Integration of mind, body, physics, planning, etc.

Mentoring: You already have kids so maybe couching, but just giving something to the younger generation.

Sign up meet up

Camping and hiking with the kids is great. I got a small ping pong table to play with them as well. For me, more hiking and camping that’s not so kid friendly! Picked up a couple instruments I’ve been teaching myself. Running. Hanging out with friends and family I couldn’t while married, playing board games and cooking/eating with them. Cooking is a great hobby, you can take it so many directions.

crypto_keeper88 · 2022-03-02T20:59:38+00:00

Golf is cool, traveling is fun, starting a side gig as a hobby and extra income, investing, get a pet, reading and learning new skills.

dgas71 · 2022-03-03T03:16:54+00:00

If you enjoy anything outdoors, Geocaching is something to try. It may also be something that your kids may enjoy doing with you during the times that you have them. It’s also a great way to meet new people through geocaching events.

JonathanApple · 2022-03-03T03:48:15+00:00

I picked up a ukulele. Chicks dig it too.

powercozmik · 2022-03-04T07:40:55+00:00

I started learning guitar

Getting a dog

Caring for aging parents takes a lot, too

plainnameguy123 · 2022-03-09T03:27:52+00:00

Looking forward to cooking even more and bike riding. Going to invest in a nice bike. Any suggestions on bikes?
