London, Mar 11: A new survey has revealed that parents spend an average of only 15 minutes together in a day.

The poll conducted over 4,500 people revealed that the time spent together while relaxing, chatting or having sex counts up to less than ten days a year, reports The Sun

They spend five minutes together in the morning and ten minutes at night before going to sleep.

About an average number of parents would get in a babysitter once a month for a night out.

On the other hand only once in a year are they able to spend a single night away from home without the kids.

Two thirds of couples in the poll admitted they were sad at the lack of quality time together. (ANI)
