I like the davening, or at least parts of it.
I like it better on Yom Kippur because of the Avodah.
I don't like how much my feet hurt from all the standing.

Not at all on rh yk. I feel I give much more heart to my tefilos in private at home. In shul I have adhd.

I used to love going to shul, but now that I don’t go regularly, I find it hard to stay so long. And that makes me sad 😞 (BH for good reasons though)

Yes I do. I feel the davening much more. At home I mumble the words and I’m distracted

I switch off tefillos with a friend so I can make it for some of davening at least

Nope. haven been to shul in about 8 years.
Nothing to do with little kids. Mine are all groen up.
I havent davened in a siddur in that long. And I would feel strange going to shul when I dont feel any connrction to god.

I love Davening in shul! It was hard for me not to go for so many years with small kids at home BH. For good reasons , but still it was something I had to work through. I am so happy to be able to daven in shul now.

Not unless I really like the chazzan, and even then not really. I haven't heard a chazzan I really liked in years.

I love it.
But didn't go all the years that I had was home with little kids.
I went as a child, teenager, and married before I had kids, and I go now - most shabbatot and yom tov.

I love shul and love the paid babysitting. I have ADHD and I think there is something about being in the same room with everyone doing the same thing because when I try to daven at home I end up sitting on the couch staring into space. At shul I can focus a billion times easier.

Love talking to God. Hate going to shul, hate opening a siddur. I have so much religious trauma around being forced to daven and go to shul that 40 years later I still have very strong negative feelings about it.

I love shul, there's something about davening with a tzibbur and listening to my shul's 500 or so men singing the nusach together, It's really B'rov am hadras melech.
I find it a lot harder to concentrate at home, I loose my kavana a lot faster

I have some of my kids that do go to shul and some that don’t. I’m needed at home and it’s not possible for me to. I love hearing people daven and being around it. It literally makes my Neshomah soar. I daven at home with my kids that are home meaning I just show them what to daven. The only thing I dislike about it, no matter how many times I go I get so lost. I can never keep up with the davening. I daven in English and can’t really read the Hebrew and it’s very hard pronounce for me. And I feel more connected to HaShem in English. I know we are Yiddishe mommies- but this is me.
