#12Mon-Fri is "living the life" time.. working, shopping, chores, everything that 'must' be done.
Sat-Sun is 'family & friends' time and activities related to family & friends (no chores). That includes BBQs, walks, cycling, etc. Nothing 'must' and all the 'wants'.

#13Climb or ski, depending on the season.

#14It depends. Aside from housework, I spend time doing a hobby or going on a date. Some of my hobbies include electronics, baking, camping, tabletop gaming, robotics, programming, music, reading, and others that escape me right now.
I don't do them all on the same weekend, though.

#15All the replies so far are making me envious of when my weekends were my own (or just me and my girlfriend, now wife). Weekends now revolve around the sports and activities of our children. It's a choice we make and there are a lot of positive aspects, but that doesn't mean I don't miss being able to prioritize myself a bit more :)

#16Reading (getting ready to start beta reading a short story collection), writing (getting close to looking for my own beta readers), watching movies or streaming series, laundry, grocery shopping.

We went the other way and I'm so happy we did. Some think we're bad parents but we work all week and don't want our weekends working as chauffeur so we don't allow our three kids to play spring/summer sports. We have a few friend who do and it just looks miserable.

#19I try to spend as much time outdoors as possible, work on any personal projects, and hang out with friends.

#20Saturday might have voluntary work, then lunch in restaurant, take kid to some bigger park and drink mate outside and see the sunset. Sunday usually church then lunch at my mothers house. Missing some friends.
If I was single I'd probably go to the movies at least once a week.
