How much quality time do you spend with your child?

i spend 100% of my time to my daughter as I am a full time housewife. i never regret it but sometimes i wanna help my husband with our finances. I might work once my daughter is old enough to be left to a nanny

Hi, Being a mother I guess I am there with my son most of the time and spending time with him is the most memorable moments that I have becoz each and every day he triew new methods and his new inventions makes me smile and he is the best gift that I have ever got in my life. Regards

I work full time so I don't get as much time with my daughter as I would like but when we do spend time together its always quality time. I pick her up from grandmas around 4 and we are home and settled by 5. We cook dinner together well really I cook she sits at the kitchen island and we talk and color. Once dinner is done we sit at her table and eat. Normally we watch TV during that time. After dinner we play on the floor some times we color, some times we get dizzy (she can turn in circles for hours) we chase each other around and all kinds of other things. Then its bath time. Bed time is the most "real" quality time we spend together. We turn on the CD player and play a few songs she loves. Like Itsy Bitys Spider, Where is Thumbkin and a few others. We sit there and do all the hand motions. She loves it. After the songs are over we read a book and down for bed it is. Our bed time routine is about 30 mins of me and her no intruptions. All my friends and family no not to call between 9 and 930 becuase thats my time with her. No matter what the day is even if I had a long day or I wasn't home we still have our mommy and me bed time.

My son is 2.5 years old. I'm a stay at home mom, and I spend most of my time with him. We play games, read books, dance, sing songs, whatever makes him happy. We also always eat meals together at the table. If my husband is at home, he eats with us, too. I do allow my son to have some play time everyday where he does his own thing, though. I think that's important. Right now he is playing with his cars and trucks in his bedroom. I can hear him, and I have the video monitor on, but it still gives him a chance to play independently.

When my son was younger the only time I wasn't playing with him or talking to him was when he was asleep. He is 7 and now that he is older, he likes to have some time away from me. We base our quality time on what he feels like. At bedtime we always spend time with our routine. If we are going somewhere we'll stop in the yard or by the woods and do some talking about nature or something. We talk about school or friends or whatever is new. He is autistic so everything is more in depth with him. I can tell when he needs the time and also when he doesn't want it at all. I got lucky, my son loves hugs and kisses and cuddles and is quite the joker. So as long as he's game, I'm all his. Jenboops
