This website is called Mumsnet and you can tell by the name there's mums. So what are kids up to

Studying for exams

Playing football in the garden with his dad

Erm, I imagine dd1 is making dinner / getting ready for work tomorrow and dc2 is maybe chatting to their girlfriend. I have no idea though we are just back from a few days away together on holiday. You know not all “mums” have young kids right?

Very puzzled by the OP. The thread title makes sense. But why do you want to know what the kids are up to?

Why does anyone want to know anything?

Favouritefruits · 19/05/2025 19:37

One is in the bath and the other is in the shower! I’m just about to pass them their toothbrushes!

tobee · 19/05/2025 19:35

One is ice skating
One is eating dinner on a work trip to Italy

Stuckinarut100 · 19/05/2025 19:32

One is studying (A levels) other one is eating an ice cream and watching telly.

Finishing the last chapter of his audio book then sleep.
He's 8 and is knackered with it being the last week of term!

One is at cadets, one’s doing homework, the toddler should definitely be going to bed but is kicking a little ball around the kitchen with such glee that I’m pretending I don’t see it and taking a quiet five minutes instead.
No idea where the teens are. In the house somewhere. Hopefully the eldest is studying but I suspect they’re both gaming together.

All on devices.

1 is out for a walk while talking to her friend on the phone.
2 is writing an essay while also watching TV.

Jumpers4goalposts · 19/05/2025 19:12

#1 is in a dance class
#2 is in a diving lesson

That was a lovely thread, a tiny window into normal life.. mine are in their 30’s and career oriented men living many miles away. You forget what it’s like to live with little people and young adults. A comforting reminder😊.

DD2 is getting changed after swim training; sincerely hope she is not washing her hair or I may leave her here.
DD1 appears to be on netflix and straightening her hair while doing physics revision.

Mightyhike · 19/05/2025 18:54

DS1 is away at uni so no idea
DD is doing her homework
DS2 is playing cricket

wlv12 · 19/05/2025 18:53

One is doing GCSE revision, the other is reading.

SleepingStandingUp · 19/05/2025 18:51

Eating tea. We're running late

Calmdownpeople · 19/05/2025 18:51

Football training and the other is at an international football camp for his country.

My baby is napping in my arms and will now sleep until I wake her to feed at 10pm. My four year old is having a bath under the aegis of his dad, and will shortly have a story then bed.

Lovemeapickledgherkin · 19/05/2025 18:46

Youngest watching The Walking Dead with me 😁. Middle at university. Oldest gaming with friends

Taytayslayslay · 19/05/2025 18:42

1 is watching Minecraft movie in his room (out today for digital release lol)
2 is watching Minecraft movie in her room because they bicker too much to watch together 🤣

Perimenopausalmanicmum · 19/05/2025 18:22

#1 is on the sofa play fighting with her partner and son
#2 is sat in the living room floor on his phone moaning that my niece is kicking him (my son is 20 and my niece is 17)
#3 is at her friends house away from the chaos that is home.

Hanging upside down off the armchair rehearsing her ‘bin-nastics’ - she’s going to do a show for us shortly apparently. From what I can tell it’s just mostly hanging upside down and then waving a wand from her dressing up stuff around whilst singing the wrong words to Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift.
