How much time do you get in a week to yourself with your kid/kids?

[kateypops]

Exactly what the above says, I think I need a reality check because I have 2 hours a week to myself but if this is the normal I've to learn to live

And how many kids does everyone have?

Well I’m divorced so I have my dc 50:50 so I have them every weds night, Thursday night and every second Friday night to Monday morning. So I get quite a lot of time to myself. 😅

have 2 kids (1 and 5 years old) and work full time. An hour or 2 in the evenings once they have gone to bed. Plus I go to a work out class once a week in the evening.

Define to myself 😂 I’m in the bath currently alone, though littlest will join me soon!

Kids are all in bed by 8, so could have time to self if I wanted it, though prefer to spend with husband.

Work all day by myself.

Gym twice a week.

See friends couple times a month for a night.

If I wanted more time, husband wouldn’t begrudge me it.

What do you mean? Time by yourself or time with kids? Sorry i might have answered wrong. Alone - 2hrs/ day. With kids before and after school- 6hrs/day. Weekends- all day with kids until they're asleep.

At the moment, absolutely nothing. My husband works all the time, I have a four year old who is only at preschool two days a week and an 8 month old who is the neediest sleep thief I’ve ever met 😂 I barely get to go to the toilet on my own. I don’t exactly begrudge it though, it’s just the phase of life we’re in I guess.

I have one 6 yo child, so I still have every evening after 8pm, which is at least 14 hrs a week.

On top of that, DH and I have one day completely 'off' at the weekend to do as we please.

Edited for typos

I think you need to define 'to yourself'. Does that include sleep? Or commuting? Or doing chores on your own? Or is it literally downtime, with nobody making any demands on your time?

I have very little in terms of solid blocks of downtime. I usually work a couple of hours a night once my DC are in bed, after which I could technically enjoy some 'time to myself', say between 23:00-1:00am, but I find that trying to 'claw back' me-time like this makes me exhausted and sleep deprived as we have early starts.

Instead, I try to make the most of smaller pockets of time here and there; 10 minutes on MN while cooking dinner, calling a friend while travelling home from work etc.

I’ve 4 kids, eldest two are older teens, one working, so they’re up til 11 most nights and eldest is off a lot of mornings so it’s an interesting question 😅😅😅

Time to myself without anyone else? Minimal. After my kid is in bed ( rarely before 8.30, he's 7), and any time I can negotiate at the weekend. I usually take an hour or so to do something on my own on a Sunday morning.

I go out with friends maybe once every couple of months.

Weekends tend to be spent doing family outings, errands, housework or playing. I assume at some point I'll get time to myself again, and it's nowhere near as hard as when I had a baby.

I have a 19 month old DD. She goes to sleep 7.30 ish and from then until 10.30 ish it's our time to chill. I work 2 days a week whilst my mum looks after her. My mum will also have her 1/2 afternoons so I can get housework/errands done. One evening a week I go out to yoga. My DH and I both sometimes have our own social plans at the weekend so we alternate there.

If you mean time alone without the kids, just the time I'm at work or wfh, plus I usually go out about twice a week for hobbies or socialising and my DH goes out 1-2 times a week alone as well.

I never get any time to myself as im a lone parent and they don’t see their father so none

Weekly I have a total of about 24 hours - about 14 hours after bedtime, plus 10 hours while dcs are at nursery/school which is time for myself. I have more time than that which is child-free, but it's spent working or chores etc. It was a lot less in the past 3 years, as dc2 has recently upped her nursery hours. Weekends are spent entirely with the kids and DH but that's our choice. Two dcs aged under 8.
