Thewre is just so much more to do in the evening especially in terms of extra curriculars etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-more-time-in-the-am-or-pm-with-your-kids#post-2175861 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:57:43 +0000 mediagirl 2175861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PM. It is so nice to have that extra time in the evening to go to the park for an hour, then come home and make dinner while they play (or in your case, maybe do homework?) If I get more time in the AM, I just sleep it away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-more-time-in-the-am-or-pm-with-your-kids#post-2175858 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:55:31 +0000 Mama Bird 2175858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely AM. We're all tired in the evening, it's not a good time to play much because DS needs to calm down for bedtime, and if I want to do anything educational with him he's tired and doesn't feel like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-more-time-in-the-am-or-pm-with-your-kids#post-2175808 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:33:00 +0000 PurplePeony 2175808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, mornings -- my LO is still a toddler so she usually wakes up in a great mood but gets crabby by the end of the day. She's a lot more fun in the morning, so it's just better quality time for us. But once she's a bit older, I'd say evenings -- it would be nice to have time to make a good dinner and eat together, then decompress and hang out before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-more-time-in-the-am-or-pm-with-your-kids#post-2175796 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:28:44 +0000 Andrea 2175796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evenings, definitely. It's important to me to pick my kids up from school, take them to activities, have play dates, go to the park, cook dinner, help with homework, etc. There's not that much that can be done in the mornings before school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-more-time-in-the-am-or-pm-with-your-kids#post-2175770 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:16:57 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2175770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evening for sure. I'm not a morning person, so it's a struggle to even get myself out of bed in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-more-time-in-the-am-or-pm-with-your-kids#post-2175738 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:02:59 +0000 petunia354 2175738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evening, just for schedules sake. It would give me more time to spend with him and more time to prep dinner and make our evenings less rushed. </p> <p>That said, I have more patience and energy in the morning and DS is in a better mood, so we'd probably have higher quality and more productive time together in the mornings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-more-time-in-the-am-or-pm-with-your-kids#post-2175735 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:00:41 +0000 Anagram 2175735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say evening, but that's just because that's my schedule now. My LO and I are out the door at 6:40 am each day and she is at daycare by 7:30 and I'm at work by 7:45. I pick her up at 3ish and we are home around 4:15.</p> <p>In the afternoon/evening we usually have time to play (go to the park or so something else fun), run an errand or two, make dinner and eat, all before daddy comes home to do bath and bed time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-more-time-in-the-am-or-pm-with-your-kids#post-2175722 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:55:45 +0000 yellowbird 2175722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evening, def </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-more-time-in-the-am-or-pm-with-your-kids#post-2175706 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:48:33 +0000 Mamaof2 2175706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: 8:35am - 3:15pm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-more-time-in-the-am-or-pm-with-your-kids#post-2175682 Tue, 12 May 2015 12:39:58 +0000 regberadaisy 2175682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely evening!
