True. And I realize I come off as an egocentric person here.
The problem like I see it is that cycling takes up a lot more time than running. My other half likes running but is content with 3x 30 min per week or so. Which is doable as I'll just take both children and she'll be back within the hour.
Guess we'll have to (re)find our routine and if I have to put things on the back-burner, so be it.
I might just need someone to tell me to fuck off and stop whining.

Ride when the kids are asleep. It’s a lot easier in the summer granted, but it’s possible all year round.
I’m still doing it, even though my kids are 11 and 8 now, as it fits family life and I prefer the quieter roads on weekend mornings especially. I can be up at 5 am, do three hours and still be home before everyone is up.

Id say you're trying to be too selfless and that never helps anyone in the long run. There is nothing g wrong with being selfish, if it can be compromised and fair to all.

Not exactly TCR prep, but do you ride with your eldest? I ride a fair bit with my son, and see it as bike time as much as childcare time, if that makes sense, even when it's just an hour or so.

I think the answer will be different for all. I'd suggest working what you need (not want) and then having an open discussion with your partner. Maybe they also would like time to do their things and you can reciprocate.
