How much time do i spend at home?I spend 15 hours at home.6-8 hours of sleep,clean the house for 2 hours,watch tv for 3 hours more or less,2 hours in the internet.I love spending my time in the house because our house is our home.I love our home especially on Sundays when everybody stays in the home.Especially if my three children will not go out attending parties,events,occasions,etc.etc.

I spend way to much time at home. I am a stay at home mom and I also do my college classes online from home so this does not afford me many chances to get out of the house. I do go out to do grocery shopping and things like that and spend sometime outdoors with my children but in my opinion it is not enough time. Next year will be different as I will be going back to work as soon as my oldest starts school and I will have family to help watch the other 2 children while I will be out of the home working to pay off the degrees that I earn.

I spend a lot of time at home. I don't have a job yet and don't know how to drive though I am working on both of those. I am a homebody nonetheless so even after learning how to drive I feel I'll spend most of my time at home. My routine is usually wake up tend to my husband's needs if he works in the morning, see him off to work, and then come online to play games and to mylot and gather. Then I am on one of the video consoles, or cleaning, or just watching t.v. Most of the time I spend online. I hope to get a job soon, hoping they call tomorrow. Well if so, then I will be at the job from 8 to 5 most likely and then at 5 will come home, eat, possibly get online, then watch t.v., go to bed and start the day all over again until the weekend when I will be off but possibly spending the night with my great grandmother in law and my husband who also spends the night with the great grandmother, then on saturday back home to do whatever needs to be done, or whatever we want to do.

Responsibility it is but not at all as complicated as it may seem. Maybe I've confused you a bit. What I meant is if my husband works mornings I wake up when the alarm goes off, pack him a lunch, shake our slim fast cans, pop them open, give one to him and make sure he gets dressed, is dressed okay, and then he goes off to work. On friday's when we sit with his great grandmother, we just sit, watch t.v., read, talk and tend to making sure great grandmother is okay! weekends are spent goofing off.

hmm, i do think u spend really litte time at ur home. but also strange why u dont like staying at home, (i'm sorry to say so). i believe there must be very less people who dont like staying in. though i also dont spend much time, that's all because of the work. but i really like to stay in. it's so free and comfortable.

I work mostly from home, so I spend a lot of time here. The only time I'm really out of the house is when I'm at my part-time job outside the home or running errands.

I wake up, start my school (I am home schooled), and then once I'm finished I might read, or I might get online. I spend more time than I should online (3+ hours a day). Sometimes I'll have a discussion with my mom (and our discussions end up taking like 1/2 hour at the least. We like 'thinking' topics). And before I know it, it's time for bed. Sometimes my friend will ask if I want to go to the store with her to pick up a few things, simply as a chance to get out of the house. And every Tuesday I babysit my nieces at my brother's house. So in short... I spend hardly any time outside the home. Gah.

I think that I'd rather be home schooled than public school, since I get to sleep in, haha. But the social aspect of it is just uuuugh o: So off-topic, but I like how you use the word 'mate.' :3 We don't say it where I live, but I wish we did, lol.

I could not tell you how much time I spend cleaning. It's not that I do it constantly...it's just that I don't keep track. I just clean here and there...maybe an hour or so at a time, during the commercials at night. It doesn't really take all that long to clean at times unless I'm working on the bedrooms.
@CRSunrise (2981)

2 Nov 09
Sorry...I misread the question. I don's know how I saw cleaning on the subject. Anyway, my answer almost coincides with what I said before...sorta. How much time I spend at home depends on what I have going on the particular day, especially if I have to work or hve certain errands to run.

Ever since I was unemployed I stay at home for doing an online jobs. I also doing some jobs here because as a technical people am receiving computer and laptop repair sometimes but most all the time I spend my time here in mylot and other online jobs... I don't am very often to accept some jobs at home because some customers did not pay what the agreement and I am avoiding that so I said it is better doing an online jobs than this kind of work...It's hard to troubleshoot computer and laptops problem then they pay only something a little after doing it...

Well as for me I babysit for my uncle and don't have that much time to do anything. My life revolves around them. I wake up at 7 a.m. feed them burp them then go back to bed till the next feeding then the same but now I get up to play with them because they want to play. I watch television get on the pc get on mylot and check emails. I usually don't eat in the morning because I am not hungry and I eat till lunch time well that is if teh girls let me eat. My whole time is devoted just to them all day. Ughh now that I think about it I need a better job that pays better!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!! i am stressing bad. He has twins and it's a hassle the whole time i am here. If i am not feeding the girls then i am bathing them or changing them or playing with them teaching them and back to feeding them again.... It gets crazy here sometimes!! Crying constantly both of the girls wanting to play AT THE SAMETIME!! It's a little hard to do that. I have to live here for the moment because I have no car to move around in so I just go out on the weekends with my girlfriend to my cousinz crib thats all. That is why I get stuck here all day taking care of the babies plus my aunt works too so I am the only 1 that takes care of the girls. My aunt gets here by 5:30 p.m. or sometimes later that is if she has a meeting or something and my uncle gets here later usually!! Like I said I get stuck here all day taking care of the babies and I also cook for them before tehy get here. But that is about to change because I am tired of doing all these things for these people and they do not appreciate me!!!!!!!!!! Well I know this is long and it is not all about what I do at home. But I hope you don't get mad. I did write about what I did at home too alot of it. well happy mylotting maria s.

7 hours are for working at night, the rest of the time I spend it at home. I dont mind spending my time at home since I love being home with my son. I mylot for a while but not too much really cause of my son. When husband comes home its the same deal. Go out during the weekends wich are our days off.

Hhehehe 7 hours night out because I work the graveyard shift. I hate working during the daytime. Once I arrive at 7, I spend some time with my boy, go to sleep, wake up again later on in the afternoon to spend it with my son. At night or in the morning I either Mylot for a bit while I keep a watchful eye for me boy or I watch horror films.

Whenever we have classes, of course I don't stay at home that long because I have to go to school. But during weekends or during vacation days, I always make it a point that I spend quite enough time at home. I clean and do some chores, and watch DVDs and surf the internet. I enjoy my time at home because I can do anything I want, and I don't really like the word "bored." I hate that word. Really. Haha. But don't get me wrong, I also like going out. I hang out with friends and I do different activities. I enjoy everything I do. Haha. Take care! :)

i was forced to sleep at my friends home few times . but never did i got any sleep . i was awake all the night. so i stopped going afterwards . i am so used to sleep in my own bed that it will take a lot time for me to get habituated to another place .thats why i like home a lot.

Now that I am counting, I don’t think I spend more than 15 hours at home and out of that, around 5 to 6 hours goes towards sleep. I have to wake up very early for my son’s school and leave my house around 10am for office…so that’s 5 hrs at home in the morning. In the evening, I return my 7pm but cant go to bed before 12…so that’s another 5 hrs in the evening!

Hi mdaazam! Inasmuch as I would like to spend more of my waking time at home, it is almost impossible especially during the weekdays. I spend more time at work. When I get home, sometimes, I only have few minutes to watch TV or if I get lucky a few minutes to go online, then I just hit the sack. The moment I wake up, I am rushing to get things done before going to work. I spend more time at home during weekends and holidays though. That is, if I do not have any travel plans.

Hey there! Yeah I can understand that as now these days i have been as busier as i could have ever been in my entire life. Part time job and a part time business-based profile job,just these two things consume everything in my day and then whats left up are eaten by various things like playing pool, swimming etc. I dont get to travel much unlike you. you're lucky!

Hey comrade! Its been a while. I spent 1 week vacation back at my parents home town that's why I wasn't online for quite long. Anyway, it depends on my plans. Usually, i spend the entire day just being at home if I don't have any plans. But sometimes when to busy also, I only go home just to sleep, and when I wake up in the morning, I'll just take a bath, eat breakfast and go out again...

During the winter months I work out of my house. Other than a few hours spent doing some shopping once a week, and an occasional visit to one of my friends houses, I am here. I like my house, I should, I designed and built it myself. I have my pool table, exercise equiptment, game systems, to keep me occupied. I generally spend about 8-10 hours a day 'at work' - in front of the PC in my office.

hi mdaazam! For me, I usually spend my time at home. The reason being I don't want to spend a lot of money (hehehe) because I know that if I go out, I would spend a lot of money - eat out, probably watch a movie, buy a few stuff for myself (like books / dresses / etc). If I stay home, I only bust my chair for staying in the computer that long. =)

As to me ,fewer than you.After my 15 years old ,i spend most of time at school ,and every summer holiday and winter holiday i will stay at home to do some housework and communicate with my father,but this situation changed when i was 18 years old ,i have to futhur for the high school.and now i just spend one month at home every year ,the main reason is i am far from home and i have to work .I think maybe in two years i will marry with my boyfriend ,i have to reduce the time back home ,too.In fact ,i miss my family very much,my father and my younger brother's two years old daughter.I know my father wish me could back home to talk with him ,and i really want to ,but my boss will not let me go .
