What are your percentages Mr. Bee? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14813 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 09:54:06 +0000 mrbee 14813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bee wrote some more about percentages of time on the blog!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2011/11/12/where-does-the-day-go/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2011/11/12/where-does-the-day-go/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14769 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 06:56:09 +0000 Andrea 14769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the week days, I'd say about 15% max. Less if he works late or one of us goes out with friends one of the nights. We mostly watch all the same TV shows so that is our "quality time" together. For the weekends, the percentage more than doubles since it is always family time and we are both with our daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14752 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:56:50 +0000 looch 14752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea of a percentage, but we just recently agreed that we would have 1 night a week (Wednesday) for alone time. The other nights we have made a pact to spend together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14747 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 02:17:49 +0000 MaisyMay 14747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have kids yet, but if I were to divide our my current time it would probably be:<br /> 25% sleep<br /> 40% work<br /> 20% Hubs<br /> 5% Church and church related<br /> 15% Personal</p> <p>I'd like to spend a little more time with Hubs as I am currently counting even eating meals and driving from work together sorts of time (trying to carpool once in a while). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14693 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 20:19:53 +0000 Rubies 14693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SIGH.<br /> 70% Baby<br /> 20% Hubs<br /> 10% Other (home, me, family, friends, etc.)</p> <p>Baby gets so much of my time because I haven't learned how to NOT give her my time. She's also extremely fussy but now that we're night/nap training, hopefully things will get better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14649 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 17:35:16 +0000 Boogs 14649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah this wasn't a typical week, but it was a frustrating one. I handed him a piece of paper and had him write down percentages like this thread! It was funny how different his numbers looked compared to mine and because I wasn't on his list (he then wanted to revise it lol). I pointed that out and he tried to claim I was included under the baby percentage. Needless to say it was quite a helpful activity for opening his eyes followed by a nice conversation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14613 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 14:33:25 +0000 mrbee 14613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I think most people would see what's wrong with that picture!</p> <p>How does he even have energy to paintball after three 24-hour shifts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14593 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 13:19:31 +0000 Boogs 14593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: You see what's wrong with that picture, right?! I can't make him see it, though and his sorry doesn't fix it. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14590 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 13:02:51 +0000 tequiero21 14590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>right now it's at least 50%, but we'll see in a few months when i have 2 kids! but like chopsuey119, i do want to make sure i give some time (at least 20%?) to my hubby when the kids come. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14589 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 13:01:26 +0000 mrbee 14589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Mr. Boogs!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14587 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 12:55:12 +0000 Boogs 14587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I know. :(</p> <p>This week is a perfect example. Hubby worked three 24 hour shifts. Then, on the days he was home he went paintballing with friends straight after work and was gone until after 1pm. On another day he went out to eat with friends, then watched a sports event so was gone for almost 5 hours that night. Earlier in that same day I was on Pinterest working on LOs Christmas list and he told me to hurry up and go take a shower because he wanted to go clean the garage but didn't want to take the baby with him since it was cold in there. He got to do all that and I couldn't even get a relaxing shower! And the icing on the cake for the week...during my only quiet &amp; alone time of the day instead of relaxing I was working on a crockpot breakfast casserole. Even though I told him last night to have a snack at work before coming home since he gets up earlier, he came and ate my breakfast without me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14581 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 12:46:53 +0000 mrbee 14581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: 35% is not small!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p> <p>1% however is pretty small. And so is 17.5%. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14580 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 12:45:24 +0000 Boogs 14580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My breakdown:</p> <p>45% baby<br /> 35% husband<br /> 19% home<br /> 1% me</p> <p>What's most frustrating to me is that even though my husband's percentage is small I maybe get half that in return. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14561 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 12:11:35 +0000 chopsuey 14561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: OMG LOVE the reply feature!!! :D</p> <p>Before I had the baby I promised myself that I wouldn't neglect my husband and that he and I would still have a growing relationship after we had kids.</p> <p>Not gonna lie, the first 2-3 months pp the baby probably got 90% of my attention, but now that she's older (7 months) things are a lot easier. I'm also a SAHM so a % of me doesn't go to work. :)</p> <p>When the baby's sleeping the hubs and I chill together--watch movies on redbox, chat, sit next to one another while we browse on our computers.. clean the house.</p> <p>We do baby bath time and her sleep routine together too. </p> <p>I'm sure once baby #2 is added to the mix hubs will get less of my attention. We're going to have someone to help with the housework tough so I'm sure he'll still get a good amount of chopsuey119 lovin'. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-percentage-of-your-time-and-focus-goes-to-your-so-these-days#post-14554 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 11:52:46 +0000 mrbee 14554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Wow, 35%!!!

Here is her self-described breakdown of her day:</p> <p>"I’m probably giving Olive 35%, work 35%, Charlie 20%, and house stuff 10%. That leaves 0% for Mr. Bee."</p> <p>0% for Mr. Bee is a bit harsh... I benefit from everything she does for our kids and our home. Still, I'm curious what everyone else's breakdown is.</p> <p>What percentage of your time and focus goes to your SO these days? </p>
