Housework can take up an immense amount of time, and if you are also working full-time at a demanding and exhausting job and raising a family, I can understand entirely how it could appear that you do nothing else but watch TV. However, are there things they would like to do but don't feel that they have the timefor now? I know my parents starting doing all sorts of things upon retirement (my mom learned to play the harp, got into photography, beaded jewelry and crocheting; my dad became more political and volunteers at a billion different homeless shelters/soup kitchens; they're also both traveling more, taking internet history and art courses and doing more gardening), and I would assume that might be the case for a lot of people.
