Christina, welcome to the program.

Hi Dr. Laura, thank you for taking my call.

You're welcome.

I need your guidance on something. I need to know what you think an appropriate amount of time is for each parent to have between the time that everyone gets home from work and bedtime so to speak.

I have no idea what you're asking.

I have no idea what you're asking. I have no idea what you're asking.

Really?

You want to know a kid's bedtime?

How old are they?

No, no, so my husband gets home from work at five and then our toddler goes to bed at 830.

So how much time should my husband really have for that wind down time or you know quiet time personal

me time or should he be playing with me and toddlers spending family time the

whole time that between when he gets home

and toddlers bedtime. What does he do for a living? He's a hospice case manager.

That's a pretty stressful emotionally draining job. Absolutely.

An hour.

Let him come home, take a bath, sit with a beer, watch something. He needs to

unwind.

Wow, okay.

It makes sense and I will follow your guidance, Dr Laura. Good.

Good.
