I don't know if that's how free time works once you have kids. "Parental duties" takes the free time. You get some time when the kids sleep.
Feature request for the calculator: if you say you have kids, it asks you what time they are in bed and asleep by and what time you try to go to bed: this window of time is now your chores/maintain relationship with spouse/gym/relax/hobbies/whatever time.
That's with a 40-hour work week, a 3-minute commute, and none of that gym/fitness time.

And that still leaves 2.5 hours after he goes to bed that you get to spend however you like.
I filled the form in and it tells me I have 11 hours of free time per week, that's with accounting for three hours of parenting per day (i.e not counting it double-booked with any other time, which is how you're really spending it).
People generally have more time available to them than they think, especially if they try to make more effective use of their time.
