It feels like not enough. 3.5 hours on weekdays and pretty much the whole time on weekends, about 11.5 hours a day. So a total of 40.5 hours a week.

I guess 24 times 7? I don't let these babies outta my sight! Which probably isn't the healthiest thing. But at this point I haven't felt like I need a break. One day!

LO1 goes to full time daycare, but I pick him up around 4, so we probably spend 5 waking hours together per day.

LO2 only goes to daycare half days, so we spend probably 8 hours together (and she naps 1-2hrs of that).

@Mrs. Bee: about the same and it feels good to me! Feels like a nice balance. I'm with him about 45 hours a week, I'm at work 32 hours and I have 6 hours on Fridays totally to myself.

Hmm...45 min in the morning before leaving, plus 2 hours of commute together before and after daycare, plus 3.5-4 hours a night before her bed time. I guess that's averaging around 6.5 hours a day of awake time, which is 32.5 hours on weekdays and 24 hours on weekends.

56.5 hours a week total. That's a lot for a full time WOHM!

It's definitely not all "quality time". I'd subtract the morning time when I'm getting ready and the commuting time for that. The evenings are almost all quality time.

Weekdays - 1 hour in the morning and 2 hours in the evening. So, 3 hours total. 15 hours on the weekdays total.

My husband gets 1 hour per day with her on weekdays.

Weekends she is up for about 10 hours per day. I sometimes spend the night in her room, as well so, that's more time.

Both girls are usually awake for around 11 - 12 hrs per day (taking into account naps and overnight sleep) and they don't go to any activities on their own (all of our weekly activities are for parents and children), so 80+ hours per week.

I will occasionally go to the gym or run an errand whilst the girls are awake and my mom or DH are watching them, but I tend to do those things more frequently after they have gone to bed. We spend lots and lots and lots of time together

My office days are the shortest, 3-4 hours. Most other WFH days and on the wknds I'm always around him. Though on my WFH days he is at my mom's some days, or out playing away from my office, but at least I'm "with" him.

3.5 hours every weekday and all his waking hours on the weekend. It feels like NOTHING during the week.

This makes me kind of sad because of how little I see her during the workday. I leave before she gets up and am home about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours (max) before she goes to bed. So 4 hours during the 4 days I work? But, I'm off on Fridays, so I'm with her during that whole day and generally all day on Saturdays and Sundays. So, minus sleeping time (she sleeps 12 hours at night and a 3 hour nap):

Mon - Thurs - 1 hour / day
Friday - 9 hours
Sat - Sun - 9 hours / day
Total: 31 hours a week.

All the hours .... She's only 6 months though so this will change. Going back to work at 13 months is going to be so hard for us... I've literally never been away from her longer than a shower!
