inspired by the thread on school holidays I wonder what people consider quality family time.
How much of that do you get?
How much of it should be given to kids?
Is there enough time for family time AND time with your partner in today's busy world?  |

Quality 'family' time should be spent with the kids. Until they get bored of their dad and go on their x-box/ps3, lol.
Quality 'me' time is when kids in bed asleep. Then i can get a go on the x-box!  |

if im not working im with my daughter, rarely get nights away. i love it though for me its just enough time apart for us to appreciate what we mean to each other.
i regain a little bit of sanity by working and she grows and develops new skills with other children. she becomes independent.
not sure if i would have time for a man in our life without it impacting on mine and my daughters life

depends what you mean by quality time, I think kids just like to know that you're there while they're doing things like, watching telly, drawing, playing etc and although they enjoy the bits of the day when you sit down and read to them or eat together and talk about their day on the whole just want to know that you're available.
Partners or a relationship needs quality time too but possibly differently to children, you do need to make a time for talking, being together as adults and sex. |

Time is the most precious thing we have,
It makes sense to budget your time.
1 hour a day for you.
1 hour a day for your partner.
1 hour a day for your extended family.
30 minutes a day for each child.
8 hours a day to sleep.
9 hours a day to work.
2 hours a day for housework
and that may leave a little extra for the dog. |

and of course you can save time so maybe once a week you have a day completely to yourself, or with your partner. |

I would rather spend time with my kids than any one if I'm honest they make me laugh and fill the whole that used to be in my life, I have loved watching them grow into the people they are I do still need me time but that can wait lol |

"thanls for your contributions - I meant to add that I would also include grandparents and other extended family in this. I like having family around me, the more the merrier. "
im blessed to have one set of grandparents still alive and they are very much apart of my daughters life (her great grandparents). I just hope as she matures into an adult she will look back at photos and recall great times she shared with them. |

I have few family left these days so weekend is the main time I spend with them apart from holidays. |
