How much time you spent with your child

[Mychildren]

beanbear,


Agree with what you said, sometimes we are there with them physically but our mind is off somewhere. Children would very much like our heart to be there too!

In todays’ busy world, it’s difficult to devote much time to kids. But I and my husband try to spend quality time with our children. Even if we spend just a couple of hours each day, we ensure our children and we enjoy every minute of it.

all my evenings are spent with them…


we chat over dinner, and they take turns to tell me things that happen in school… m dh used to work till 10plus but i made it a point to ask him to come back for dinner for family bonding before he can go off and come back whatever time he wants…

fri nights will be spent watching a show, a documentary, or a movie together. sometimes we go shopping together as that is the only night of the week that i allow them to slp later at 11.30pm…

our weekends are for them as well… no matter what activities they have, we make it a point to keep sun free, and that’s our family day… they get attn from us all day long…

Both my wife and myself would try to do our work at the dining table from 8 - 9.30 pm daily. The elder one who is in P5 naturally has tons of homework and the younger one K2, simply does his drawings or writings etc.


Fridays are reserved for dinner outside follow by PS3 or Wii games amongst the boys. I particularly enjoy those moments when we squeezed ourselves in our bedroom with lights out, sharing of ghost stories or jokes in the dark.

Saturdays and Sundays evenings are mainly for dinners at either in-laws place and also for them to interact with their cousins etc.

i duno abt me…i tink i might nt have spent enuff time with them. 2 DD. both need attention. esp the elder one.


i do admit i play FB games when home. so I got to really cut down on it and spend time with them. should I set a 30min thing with them and then i get to do my own stuff?

reason being is that kids at this age yet to know about limits. if i give them all my time, they will keep on bugging me even when i m actually working from home. but I am also afraid that 30mins might nt be enuff and they might nt find it enuff. maybe i should moderate everything.

I don have much time with both my DS, I only have sunday and saturday for them, and sometimes i have to leave sg for biz trips. I feel so bad towards them. So am considering to quit my job to spend more time with them and DH.

My brother hardly has any time for my nephew and niece too. We (my mum and myself) tried to be there for them as much as possible but I believe nothing beats the love and attention from your parents.

Probably you can try discussing with your boss if quitting is not the best option. *All the best*

I am self-employed so I try to fetch my 2 sons here and there when needed but sometimes get stuck at work. Even when fetching them home from school, it feels really good when they fill me in with all the details of what they have done in school for that day, sometimes we even laugh at the things they do.


When hubby and I not free to keep them company, they are very understanding and always send messages to tell us how much they miss us and pls buy supper back home for them hahaha

Nice, You can spend more time with them and also supervise them yourself personally, not for me, i have to plan my time carefully so that I dont eat into the time i can spend with them. (Workaholic) =p
