Partners/ husbands / kids and hobbies

[loveheart27]

But if a boring one but how often does your husband/ partner go out to do their hobby each week please state if you have kids or not!!
Trying to work out if I am being unreasonable or if my ex took the piss abit!!

Also how often does your husband go to the pub because apparently I'm lucky he's not down the pub every night like most men!!

Whenever it’s nice weather but to be frank I’m usually right there with him re hobbies 😂. Pub never. He occasionally arranges to see a friend for an evening but doesn’t do it often.

It’s not me. If he wants to go out he can.

Kid joins in on hobby front btw

Got 5 DC between 10months and 8, me and DH both work long hours but condensed into 4 days a week each. DP plays cricket for two hours every fortnight and usually goes to the gym twice a week. He does go fishing maybe once a month, which can take the best part of an afternoon.
I probably spend a similar time on mine.
He doesn't really go down the pub with mates unless it's someone's birthday etc but, if we can get a sitter, we do go out together for drinks.

Pub- We probably only go out separately once a month, maybe once a month together.

Dh plays football on Sundays, takes about 3 hours or so.
I do one or maybe 2 classes a week in evenings. Sometimes an evening run (but usually daytime), and usually 1 or 2 hours running at the weekend.

Reading this, I think I should probably suggest he goes out more

We have 3 dc, youngest is 3

Once a week for hobby, and not very often for the pub. He prefers to go to a family friendly pub at the weekend with us all for a meal. On the odd occasion he has gone to the pub, he's never gone more than once a week

What ever suits him TBH, Im not his keeper,

Before he was ill I d say, football one evening a week (playing), Golf once, possibly twice a week), pub once a week, possibly twice a week in summer. One week away with the lads and innumerable long weekends.

When the kids were small - we were very involved in mini soccer, so that was 2 evenings training, with bar after, one full day playing. Plus all the above.

Dhs only thing he likes to do is play on his PS4 a bit, but he does this after everyone has gone to bed. He doesn’t play a sport or go to the pub (neither of us drink).

oh forgot, cricket umpiring in summer, when its not footy season.

We go out separately on average 2 times a month each.

Hobbies knocked on the head for both of us until kids are older.

It’s just the way it is.

We’d have a serious falling out if one of us was at the pub every night.

Kids 1 & 6.

Dc 5 and 7.

I go out twice a week, dh maybe once a month. Together, maybe 3 times a year.

We're both happy with this, which is what matters.

I don't think it matters how much time, so long as it works out approximately the same amount of time for both parents to do their own thing.

He does kickboxing two evenings a week and goes running two or three times a week. The running usually very early, like 5am and he’s back in time for us all to get ready and leave the house at 7:30am (we have one child who is dropped off at breakfast club on our way to work). He goes out to the pub/with his mates maybe once every month or so. Totally his choice, he can go more often if he wants, I don’t mind. I don’t go out really, maybe once every few weeks to my friend’s house for a catch up but again, that’s my choice. My hobbies I can do at home on the sofa.

Kids 4 & 1. Hobbies tries for atleast once a week, twice if the weather is OK. Doesn't go to the pub unless it's work Xmas night out, goes to his mates for a few cans and a laugh maybe once a month? Unless there is a special ufc event they both want to watch then he may go twice in a month. Goes to cinemas with a family member once every other month depending what comes out

Forgot to add the once a week he does his hobby I'm out with the kids visiting my family and once during the week depends on the shift he's doing that week.

1ds (18m) and currently 6m pregnant. Both work full time.

Dh goes to the gym 4/5 lunch hours a week.

I go 2/5 evenings after work.

I was also riding for 2 hours every Saturday.

We don’t go down the pub much.

Haha very rarely! DH doesn't really have any hobbies. He might go to the pub after work maybe once a month? Me probably the same. Might have a weekend away with friends or on stag / hen dos a handful of times a year each. We are both homebodies though and happy chilling with each other and DS.

My dh goes out about 2-3 evenings a week. Which is more than I'd like as we have young children and I'm picking up all the childcare . I rarely go out either so it's not even. If I went out at much as him we'd never see each other... I think once a week is a more reasonable amount.

Several Hobbies out 2-3 times a week, one to 2 evenings and one half day weekend. 1-2 holidays a year and full day or weekend events every 3-4 months. In the summer we all go to the sailing club once every weekend cos it's the beach and we love the beach! Once every 4 months or so we/I might join him at a social event.

I'm more bothered about the crap he does at home... constant fixing, practicing, club kit all over the place.

To be fair I'm also out 2-3 evenings a week and used to be more than that plus half day at the weekend before I was injured!

We have 3 kids, 12, 10 and 5 who also have lots of hobbies. I don't actually know how we fit it all in!

My husband never goes to tge pub unless its for a meal with me lol. He has a gym in our garage and goes in the 5 evenings a week. He did go shooting on a sunday in the summer, not sure he will do that again as we have our lo now.

2 dcs 12 and 15. DH goes surfing on average twice a month for 3-4 hours(but goes in "runs") I run 2-3 times a week 2X 30 mins and one longer one.

Dh does his hobby (a sport) twice a week, one evening for 3 hours and on Saturday morning for 3 hours. I'd rather he did less but he loves it and has cut down a lot since we met and even more since ds (now aged 5).
As for the pub, pretty much never unless with me. He occasionally does something like go karting or a meal with his friends but that's probably 2-3 times a year.

It's not about being "his keeper." If you have young children, it's about who's left at home dealing with them whilst the other parent goes off out.
When ours were young, dh wanted to do one of his hobbies on a Saturday afternoon. He therefore made sure he gave me some free time in the morning in lieu and would take the dcs swimming and then to the supermarket for the weekly shop (and put it away afterwards).
Fair enough.
He also gave up golf, as he wasn't very good at it it was too time-consuming, but has picked it up again now the kids are at university. He also made sure he scheduled squash games for mid-late evening once the kids were in bed.

We have 2 DC under the ages of 5. DH goes to the gym before work in the week while we are still asleep and then home to help with nursery drop off. He plays cricket on a Saturday through the summer which is from afternoon until the evening sometimes and football in the winter. The cricket does get on my nerves sometimes as it's all day but it's also very family friendly so on the odd nice Saturday I will pop down with the children.

I cycle on the Saturday before DH goes out and I also got 2 or 3 gym classes a week in the evening. We try to keep Sunday's for family. I work part time and DH's work can be flexible so do have time together as a family in the week sometimes.

We go out as a couple on average every couple of months. It's all a balancing act.
