It's so hard to count them up, since I work from home and there are constant interruptions! I also end up working in the early mornings and evenings to catch up (and review random flags and server issues), but don't really keep track of how many hours that is... so I'm not sure how it all nets out!!
Either way, I work way less than before I became a parent! Not thrilled about that but that's life as a parent, I guess.
How many hours do you work a week?

15-20, it's a pretty good fit for me. I was doing 30+ recently and got way overwhelmed. Most of it is during naps and after bed.

About 40-45 now...going to have to be much better about stopping at 40 once LO arrives!

It depends on the time of year & what is going on. Leading up to our October expo & February banquet I could easily push 60-80/90 hours a week.... other times I might not do any "work" for a few weeks, which I why I get paid salary. lol

Right now? Maybe 15. When we're in the field, 50+.
DH is currently working 60+, which totally sucks.

Around 50-55 hrs on average. It can sky rocket during certain periods though.

20-25 and it works great for my family! DH works 42 and that seems to work well also.

My work week is technically 35 hours, but usually more like 43ish.

About 30 service hours on campus, and 5-10 additional hours from home, on my computer. DH works 40-50, per week.
After maternity leave, the plan is for me to go to 20 hours, per week, unless we opt for me to stay home longer. I hope to be back to a full-time schedule by the time LO is 1, and day care is more affordable.

When I do get called in, it's usually only for a few hours now and then, so I'll say 5 at most. It'll go up during the summer, though, while people take their vacations.

I'm back to 20 now. I was working 40 in April and May.

40-verrrry rarely up to 45. I'm salaried though so I often work through my lunch.

I work 40/week & DH works 60+ hours each week. His hours change depending on demand.

34 (Fridays off). Feels like the right home/work balance for me right now.

35 regularly, but there are at least 4 evening events each month that I have to attend, and I earn comp time hours for those. Since we have two this week, I'll earn around 8 hours comp to take later.

Probably about 25-30 hours a week (I have a 70% appointment), but I don't really keep track.
