How much time completely alone at home do you have?

[ExpectTheWorst]

Is it enough / too much / just right? And do you think it's important?

I noticed last lockdown (we are not in UK btw) that with the children home all the time I never had a minute where I was alone in the house any more. I usually have every morning (kids in nursery/school, husband at work), and I missed it so much. I hadn't realised it was so important to me to have this quiet time.

9-12 hours a day - I'd give anything for a busy house sometimes but most of the time I'm content with my own company.

None, ok probably an hour, since March. I hate it.

I drop the kids of at school, go to work, finish work, pick up kids, then it's dinner, bed, bath etc and finally at 9pm sit down to watch some TV and then DH says do you want to play a board game, listen to a radio programme, or TALK....No! leave me alone!

Usually October half term,, DH takes the kids to his parents 5 hours away for a few days, and I live for that...didn't happen this year though cos of Covid.

Hate it.

I keep asking DH to take the kids out at the weekend. But the weather's been bad and the kids don't want to go out anyway, they are such home bodies.

None. But I now hone school my kids. I occasionally get an hour or so in the evening. If they are downstairs etc. But it doesn’t bother me anymore. I used to long for time on my own. But it’s finally come to me that I don’t want that

A lot, really. Single mum to a four year old. He goes to pre-school full time, so 9-3 every day, and so I am at home alone (working) during that time. He then goes to bed at about half 6, so I have from then to myself each evening. He goes to his dad's on a Friday from about 5pm until midday Saturday.

Too much time alone really!

Absolutely zero. It is driving me slowly insane
