DS is bathing his toddler and DD is feeding her 4 month old. Happy days!

One at brownies, one at the gym, one waiting for English tutor to arrive and one not home from college yet

Minimalistmamaoftwo · 19/05/2025 18:16

Both at the beach with their daddy while I wash up 😂

One is climbing Mt Everest. The other is snoozing next to me and just unleashed a hellish fart of eye-watering proportions. The other is eating a large salad - so I guess another fart is just around the corner. lol!

You never know, there may also be farts up Everest

Thirteen year old. Playing in a football match.

Eating pears in the garden with one looking suspiciously like she's going to run the wrong way up the slide.

Mine is stuck in an adrenaline stupor from being in a serious car accident this morning and prepping to go back to his RAF base 🙁

I’ve got a schizophrenic 27 year old she’s probably at work, she has a part time shop job, she hasn’t spoken to me for 7 years.
My 21 year old is a police woman but she’s on holiday in Marbella atm, she’s bought me a fake Rolex today and face timed me to choose it 🙂, and then 10 year old son on his play station upstairs with his friend 🙂

16 year old has just made tomato soup from scratch and called their 13yo brother to come and get some.

MaryGreenhill · 19/05/2025 18:08

Both visiting their 94 yr old Granny 🤗

Snoodley · 19/05/2025 18:06

With her dad. Most likely watching TV while he makes dinner

BethDuttonYeHaw · 19/05/2025 18:03

Not got a clue.

Im away from home with work and they are with DH

LlttledrummergirI · 19/05/2025 18:02

I have no idea as we are in another country. I assume ds1 work, ds2 home with the dog, and dd at the gym, or getting ready to go.

They are all adults though, and I have no right to know.

At 8pm last night when you asked the question my 13 year old was playing table tennis in the garden and the 11 year old was reluctantly getting in the shower before going to bed. Right now (6pm Monday) one has just started swim training for 2 hours and the other is outside on the trampoline. Mine are unusual in that they don’t really do tech.

One is practicing (music) and the other is revising. They not usually this wholesome in their behaviour.

Fluffypotatoe123987 · 19/05/2025 18:00

Teen on her mobile in bed and other at her dad's.

DuchessofSuffolk · 19/05/2025 17:58

Rolling around in the floor playing with her dad’s work lanyard. She’s 10 months old. We start the bedtime routine soon!

JJMama · 19/05/2025 17:46

Minding their business. How about you?

SavageGarden23 · 18/05/2025 22:44

My y8 kid just finished watching Inception for the first time as he said that's on top of his must watch list. Said he got 85% of the movie so very impressive, this was my 5th time watching but still all goosebumps by the 3rd level falling into smithereens!

wobblyweasel · 18/05/2025 22:18

DD(37) has just gone to bed to read as her DH is doing some voiceover work. She called me to ask me to recommend some good books. DS(27) is currently in a pub with his mates and they all rang me to settle an ‘argument’. Both live in different parts of the country, and Sunday nights are our weekly catch up chats x

abracadabra1980 · 18/05/2025 22:07

DS is looking after his new DPup while his DP is on night shift. DD is prepping for a work trip to Europe and flies at 3am this morning. Her DP is in London, back tomorrow.
They are 25 and 24 respectively 🤣 and both live in their own homes. I don't always have this amount of location information handy .. we've just had a Sunday lunch together earlier!

MyCyanReader · 18/05/2025 22:06

Two sleeping. Teenager finishing his homework.

sweetpeaorchestra · 18/05/2025 22:02

8 year old reading Jacqueline Wilson in bed and 6 year old reading/looking at books in bed. I want to go to sleep, it’s 10pm! Trying to get them to settle. Monday morning won’t be fun

GuiltyPleasure · 18/05/2025 21:50

dd1 is travelling and currently in Melbourne so I’d assume she’s sleeping.
ds1 is in Manchester. He’s just finished uni finals and is going on an early flight to Milan tomorrow. I’d like to think he’s getting an early night, but I doubt it.
ds2 is in his room gaming
