[quote=Anonymous]Free time = anything before 6:30 am during the week, after which either the dogs or the kids need taking care of (my husband and I alternate) and after 7:30 pm when kids go to bed, plus time on the weekends, at least a few hours a day. Kids are in school from 7:30 (when carpool leaves) until they get home at 4 (except for the two days a week I pick them up and take them to their afternoon sport). I work generally from 7:30-5:30, less on the two days I pick them up from school, but that doesn't include about an hour-long lunch with my husband (we both work from home now), plus at least some time during the day for laundry or other quick things around the house. And of course the 15 minutes I spend on DCUM while I eat my breakfast in the mornings. So if you are asking how much time I have purely for myself to do whatever I want, then I'd say between 0-60 minutes in the mornings, depending on how much before 6:30 I wake up, and at least two hours at night after the kids go to bed. On the weekends it varies depending on what we're doing, but I have more time in the morning if I'm doing the kids because they don't get up at 6:30 on Saturday or Sunday and the same time at night because they don't stay up later on the weekends, plus a few hours each day when we all disperse and go our separate ways. Kids are six (twins). [/quote]
