Time Spent

How many non-sleeping hours do you spend with your SO/spouse each week on average?  

I have been thinking that we spend so much time with each other since DH works nights now and he doesn't require a lot of sleep but my view may be skewed since he does go to work at 3 on weekends so we don't have a lot of time on Saturday and Sunday together.    Rough estimate, we spend around 65 hours together not spent sleeping each week that I do not go to my out of town workshop.

During the work week something along the lines of 35 ~ 40 hours, and then the whole weekend.
But we have a toddler that makes us not pay attention to each other all of those hours, so there's that.

Well we are together when he gets off work and the kids are usually always here. So we are in the same house but often not really spending time together besides dealing with the kids together and talking together a bit. Then when the kids go to bed we have some alone time together in the evenings. I make the kids go to bed at 8 and the boys need to sleep but Merida is allowed to read or look at magazines or her tablet in bed for an hour or so before she goes to sleep. But that is our alone time. We will watch a movie together or talk but sometimes we do our own thing. On the weekends same deal.

We really don't get alone one on one time until the kids are gone to my mothers. Then we go out to eat me and him or go to the bar or club together. We might see a movie or watch movies or just lay in the bed and snuggle. That is our time to really focus on each other. The rest of the time we are here in the same house but hard to really focus on each other completely. We get the kids at my moms maybe 2 times a month on average for a day or two or sometimes if they are not in school longer.

Not nearly enough.

Partly because of my work shift being nights and me being a day sleeper... and partly because of me working 7 days a week.

Right now, PM is on summer break, so we're spending too much time together. I get used to being alone with AB during the year, so we're together pretty much all day every day. Then, school will start and we won't get enough time together. It's always feast or famine around here!

it varies, my DH working in a surface coal mine as a dragline operator and it is shift work (12 hours shifts 2 hours travel and days and nights) and 14 days a month off and work 14. So we work around that, as I work M-F 7-3 with weekends off
