About 3-4. I pick him up at 5 and bedtime is between 8 and 9. I don't wake him up in the mornings until about 10 minutes before it's time to head out the door. Some mornings he surprises me and gets up for a cuddle. He did today at about 5:50am. Best way to start my day! When he was younger he was usually in bed by 6:30 or 7 but I had earlier hours and got off work at 3pm.

I get home at 6:30, LO doesn't sleep until 9:30 and even then we do one final feeding at 10 so I get to see her until we both go to bed. She's one energetic little girl, takes just one 45 morning nap, and another 45 min early afternoon nap then goes strong all night long.
Depends on the day. I teach but there are meetings after school etc. I technically get off at 4, so that would be 4.5 hours. But there are plenty of times when I have to stay later, so usually I pick him up around 5:30, which leaves 3 hours. Tomorrow we have a meeting at school from 5:30-7 and I have to bring him with, so I get to see him, but not really enjoy him.
We spend some time together in the a.m. before work as well. And weekends are glorious.
ETA: Another teacher here. My contract hours end at 3:45. I usually stay an extra 30-45 minutes. I pick her up around 4:30-4:45 but she goes to bed by 7.
About 30 minutes before she goes to D/C with daddy and then for about 1 1/2 hrs after work... not nearly enough time some days, but my hours are screwy right now. I am looking forward to a new shift where I will be doing a 12-4 which means I can grab her from the day home early and spend extra time with her

3.5-4 hours. When he was younger it would only see him for 1.5-2 hours because he went to bed around 7-7:30. I have been trying to leave work earlier so I can spend more time with him.

About a hour before work and 3 1/2 in the evenings. Not long enough! :-( I really cherish my weekends w/ him.
PPD/PPA Mom...it has been super hard, but I'm making it! Slow steps... Mom to Carter (6), and Calianne (1). Proud VBAC, natural birth, breastfeeding, cloth diapering momma!
I get 2 hours in the morning Monday and Wednesday, 2 hours in the evening Tuesday and Thursday and 8 hours on Friday(I have 1/2 days, home by 12!). I was fortunate enough to work out a flex schedule that I can do some breakfasts, some dinners and even most of a day at home. I can also "move" my 1/2 day to a different day if needed.
Re: How many hours in the evening do you get to spend with your LO?
1.5-2

4-5 with DS1 (when I'm working)
I'm still on maternity leave and don't know when DS2 will go to bed once DC starts. As of now, it seems I'll have about 3 with DS2.
I pick her up at 4 and she's in bed by 7:30.
DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
We average about an hour, sometimes an hour and a half if traffic is light and DD goes to bed on the later side of normal.
3.5 - 4 hours (pick up from daycare at 4:30 pm and he goes to bed between 8-8:30)

Not very long.
I pick them up at 4:30 and they're usually in bed by 7:30.
I do get to see them at lunch and in the morning since I get up at 5:00.
30 minutes to an hour in the morning (including drop off) and about 1.5 - 2 hours in the evenings.
I wish we had more morning time, but the evenings are always a cluster.
When she was really little, some evening were ~30 minutes; that sucked.
Some days she just needs to go bed way more than she needs to hang with me, so I put her to bed an hour early.
About an hour. I pick up from DC about 5:45 and he's usually in bed at 7.
Last night he was so tired that he fell asleep nursing around 6:45 - he hasn't fallen asleep nursing in about 3-4 months.
