How much time do you spend with your partner on each day of lockdown if you’re both WFH during the week? (Esp people with no kids)

[JungleRaisin]

Tell me about you and your partners routine from when you get up to when you go to sleep

We get up about 7am. Shower. Eat breakfast together. Go to work in our separate offices. Meet in the dining room for lunch. Back to work for the afternoon. Finish about 5. We go for our daily walk. Cook dinner together. Go to bed at about midnight. Repeat.

Our dc are grown up.
We are spending more time than we normally would. Probably 3 or 4 times a week we manage to fit our walk in at the same time.
We often meet in the kitchen at lunchtime too.
It's rather nice.

@PanamaPattie do you spend the entire evening from 5pm to midnight together (as in chatting, etc.) or do you do separate activities/hobbies?

We spend the entire evening together.

@PanamaPattie that’s nice - what do you after cooking dinner to pass the time until midnight?

We alternate early mornings with ds. One gets up at 7.30 ish with ds, the other gets up at 8.30.

Both wfh from 9am at the dining room table. Ds sits between us and we help him with school work

We break for lunch. I eat with ds as we're listening to Harry Potter on Audible. DP eats in the living room and watches shite on telly.

We sometimes eat together in the garden. Back to work for the afternoon. Ds will sometimes video call his pals

We stop working at 5pm 4pm and all go out on our bikes for an hour

Evenings we watch TV together unless I've got a video quiz booked in with friends which is probably 2 nights a week.

Read, look at our tablets, watch TV, or if the weather is nice enough, we sit on the bench in the garden and drink gin or wine or both.

You ask a lot of questions, OP.

What’s your routine?

Well, DW gets up at 7ish, goes for a walk, comes back around 8.
Kids get up around 8
Me around 8.30
DW and DD work in one room. Me and ds in the kitchen but i might move to sitting room or bedroom if i need to make a long call etc.
Nature of both our jobs is such that we are not chained to a pc or phone so we chat through out the day and whilst we have the space for all 4 of us only to cross paths at meal times if we wanted we choose not to,

Frankly I cant believe where the last 7 weeks have gone and I will def miss our family time when i go back to work.

I'm working from 0800-2200+ most weekdays, with breaks for coffee, lunch and dinner - on video calls for much of that time.

It's been quite a challenge for my wife as I am normally a weekly commuter - so while I am physically present a lot more than normal , breaking her normal routine, I have not really been present in a relationship sense. In fact this is the longest time we have spent together in terms of continuous days in the last 11 years!

Hopefully my work will calm down a bit soon and we will get to spend more of the long, light summer evenings together. The aim is to treat this as a trial run for semi-retirement in up to ten years time.

I'm quite enjoying not commuting, even if the work hours have been immense.

We wake up, one of us makes a cuppa and we drink it in bed, might make another and some breakfast in bed.

Get up get showered and dressed

We are both key workers so out working, but we work on the same team. So travel and work together.

We work earlys, lates and nights

Spend 99% of our time together

SO does most the cooking, I tidy up

Works for us

My dh usually wakes up a bit earlier, he gets the paper we have delivered and makes me a tea then we have tea, biscuits and paper in bed. Usually he goes down to have an earlier breakfast than me and then we both get ready. I usually start work around 9 when he does but he works upstairs and I'm in the kitchen.

He comes down for tea multiple times a day and we have lunch together in the kitchen. I finish work before him and do some unpacking, just moved house, then he finishes work.

Usually spend all evening together, having dinner, watching tv, playing on the playstation or board games or jigsaw puzzles. Bed around 10

I get up at 8am, shower, eat breakfast etc. DH gets up at 8.30am and does the same.
We both start WFH from 9am in separate rooms.
One of us will sort lunch for us both, then we'll go for a short walk.
Work separately again post lunch til 6ish depending on what calls we have.
Usually I'd be sorting dinner but pregnancy tiredness means I just can't be bothered half the time, so we're muddling through at the moment.
I'll sit with him til about 8.30pm or 9pm, and then I go to bed. He stays and watches telly downstairs until 11.30/midnight.

Husband gets up first, I'm pregnant with our first so struggle to get up in the mornings at the minute. Have breakfast together and then we move into the dining room where we are both working from home. Tend to have lunch separately and carry on working. Then about 5.30/6 we go for a walk together to start the evening and separate the day. Twice in the week my husband will go for a run instead and I'll go for a walk by myself instead. Then we spend the evenings together, eat dinner (this would usually be done earlier but tbh being pregnant I'm tired half the time so we kinda muddle through with dinners) watch some tv or do some baby prep. We sleep quite late well for me anyway about 11pm and then repeat the next day. I have quite liked wfh together we dont really interfere with one another if we have zoom calls or meetings the person on the call will go to another room.

Why are you not saying what your routine is? And whether you like it or dislike it?

Working full time together, for same employer, from dining room table. DH does breakfast and we're both at laptops by 9.30. Calls are done from the Videoconferencing Suite aka spare bedroom, where I've been embarrassed into finally hanging pictures up! I usually run a laundry load during the morning, and lunch is snack food or leftovers. Cats wander in and out all day. Then it's heads back down until 5.30ish, when we have a walk, cook and eat then dvd/telly before bed. Contrary to the assertions of certain posters on another thread, as a childless/free couple we do not have Masses Of Free Time, however we're doing what we reasonably can to help out.

Up at about 8, dh has usually been up for a walk before me. Have breakfast, work in seperate areas, have lunch, work in afternoon. We both go for a walk after work, come home for dinner. Evening is usually in front of the telly or reading books and listening to music.

So why are you asking @JungleRaisin ?
What is your routine ?
Why do you need to know what others do ?
