Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

My kids get up earlier so:

2-2 1/2 hours in the morning
3-4 hours at night

5-6 1/2 hours total

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

about 4.5 hours.

a half hour in the morning and then 530 till 9 pm.

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

Not enough...

I hate leaving them in daycare, but there is no alternative right now. The mornings are a getting ready rush, and then after I pick them up (5:30ish), it's home for dinner, some play time, baths and bed. So maybe 2 hours. But like others said, we try to make it count so much, and the weekends we focus on them entirely. I do all my errands and shopping during lunches, and do all other stuff (housework, etc) after they go to bed.

If only we didn't have to work!

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

3-4hrs per day and my weekends are 100% family quality time. I agree it is the quality not the quantity that counts.

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

I physically spent about 4-5 hours with DD when I work. But unfortunately most of that is travel time. When we do get home I try to hang out with her as much as possible, even letting her help me with dinner so at least we can do something together.

I am fortunate that I do have a lot of vacations and can make up the time I miss with her then.

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

an hour in the AM but 30 min is me getting ready the other 30 min is us in the car, so no quality time. I get home at 630, so he sleeps by 8-830. that time is spent feeding him, bathing him, and him playing toys. not enough! So I decided to leave my job so I can spend more time with DC. he is growing so fast and I want to be with him more

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

I am home at 2pm....but then there are housechores and stuff that must get done. I feel horrible that I don't get to spend much time. And then he is sleeping by 8pm.

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

I am a teacher, so I get ample time with DD. Last semester I had a "late schedule" which was 9-4. I left the house at 8 and got home around 4:45. In Sept. I have an "early" schedule 7:20-2:00. DD will be in daycare. DH will drop her off between 8-9:30 and I will pick her up between 4:30-6 depending on what errands I have to do daily.

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

Not enough...But I tried to make up the time during the weekend....

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

1 to 2 hours in the morning and 2 to 4 hours at night!

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

I get about 30 mins before work....and about 2 & 1/2 hrs after work....it stinks, i live for the weekends!!

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

about 2 1/2 hours in the morning, and then 4 hours in the evening.

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

definitely not enough. About 30/45 minutes in the am, but thats with feeding her and getting her ready to go to my MIL's. After picking her up we get home at 5:30 so we have about an hour together . As I'm typing this it gets me all choked up seeing I don't get much time with her. At least I get to spend saturday and sunday with her, and its quality time. I only do house stuff if she's sleeping. Boy do I need to hit lotto so I can be a SAHM

Re: Working Moms, how much actual time do you spend with your children on a daily basis?

DD is 15 months now.

I get about an hour in the morning (6:30-7:30), however I spend part of that time getting ready for work and then about 4 hours at night (4:30-8:30). Part of that time is getting dinner ready and eating.
