I get a good bit when it's hunting season. It's hard to find any when you have young kids, because they will hunt you down. Turkey season is right around the corner PTL

Virtually none. Being at work is the most peaceful part of my day.

12yo and 10yo, multiple sports, always go go go

Most nights I will hold my eyelids open manually for as long as possible after wife and kids go to bed just to bask in the solitude.

Am getting married soon. We both value our alone time so I expect we'll not get into arguments over spending time in different rooms in the house for a couple hours here and there. It's good to have your own space.


Yeah my wife and I are this way. The problem is that we live in a small house so it's tough to get away from each other.

Only alone time is my commute to work, or waking up before everyone to workout.

Otherwise zero alone time.

I volunteer for any mundane errand to get a few minutes to myself.

Oh did I hear you say we're out of milk? I'll go get some right now

Late in the evenings is about all I get. I put the youngest of 3 to bed, then make the middle one get in the shower and go on to bed. After that I workout. Usually the wife is in the tub for her some alone time so I slip out back to exercise. She and my oldest were gone two nights this week for an office visit, so that left me with the younger boys, and despite there only being 3 people at home instead of the usual 5, I got less time alone.
