I feel like I never get around to either much even though I am home. DS does not nap regularly anymore so the only opportunity during the day is usually if he is in school and DD naps. But I usually do stuff around the house then. for tv I don't watch my shows when the kids are around and DS goes to bed at 9 so really there is not much time left. When do you find time?
I watch my shows either in the morning when she leaves for DC (so from 8-9). If H likes the show I want to watch I will watch some in the evening time after she's in bed.
I don't right now . I used to watch tv with DH from 9-10pm but lately I've been going to sleep closer to 9:30 and he's been playing computer games online with his brother instead of watching tv with me. G sleeps in our bedroom so the only time I have to read is on my commute, but I usually probe instead.
I don't read much right now, but I do like to when it is nice outside and I can sit out there with the kids and let them play on their own. We usually watch one show in our bedroom before falling asleep for the night. Occasionally we'll watch one in the living room after the kids are in bed also, but a lot of the time I just crave silence after a day spent with the kids and we just dick around on our computers for that time instead.

I don't really read much. H and I will watch a show or two during the week around 8:30-9pm, otherwise we will usually watch something on Friday or Saturday nights after the kids to go bed.
If I am doing work from home in the evening, I will have Bravo or HGTV on in the background.
I watch my shows after he goes to bed, or occasionally during nap time. I'm always behind. We'll stay up late on the weekends so we can get a couple shows in.
I read on my lunch hours at work, and I can usually get in some reading while he plays in the evenings as well. We've been in the car a lot on weekends this summer too, and i get some reading in then.

In the morning before Natalie gets up it's just Nolan and I for a couple of hours so I will sometimes watch a show then. Other than that I watch all my shows during their bedtime. I read then as well.
Never right now. I've been going to bed early to wake up early to get my workouts in so I've stopped reading. I catch up on shows on the weekend on on demand.
After Max goes to bed I either read or watch TV! I used to watch TV at the gym (had a Y very close to my house w/ personal TVs, which was awesome! Now it's close to work so I might join again)

I read when I poop and when the kids are playing independently. I also read at night before I go to sleep. I also do audio books in the car, at work, and when I'm walking or cleaning.
I can watch some tv when they are awake. Mostly the tamer shows like America's Got Talent. I watch the more racey shows when they are sleeping.
I also stay up entirely too late doing both of these.
I usually watch tv during nap time and after she goes to bed. She usually naps for about 3 hours and goes to bed around 9. I watch one show during nap time and I stay up until 11:30pm, so I can watch a few shows and unwind. I gotta have "me" time or I start to go crazy.

We just recently got tv back(just cheapy antenna that brings in 10 channels). I watch some news in the morning and then let Pey watch PBS whenever curious George or clifford is on. Haha. I watch my soap opera when Peyton is napping(because that's when it comes on) and lately I've been watching the two shows that come on after that. Then I go to work. I don't get home until 11pm and I try to go straight to bed.
So, short answer, intermittently throughout the day. Haha.

Oh and the only reading I do is on here. When Pey sees me on PB she says "mama read book!" Haha. But DH reads while she plays independently when he is with her in the evenings, but mostly when she goes to bed.
