Eldest is being read to on his room by his dad, youngest has gotten into my bed after being almost asleep then having it ruined by needing a poo. She's almost 4 and very grumpy. My fault really for letting her lie in until 8 this morning.

Mines just got in the shower. He’s 14 and whilst always a good kid he’s often a grumpy teen but this weekend he has been an absolute joy ❤️

evtheria · 18/05/2025 21:41

Asleep (just checked he wasn’t reading under covers)

Caligirl80 · 18/05/2025 21:40

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!

Brienneoftarthismyhero · 18/05/2025 21:38

Studying frantically for A levels

SouthLondonMum22 · 18/05/2025 21:34

All sleeping.

Bearybasket · 18/05/2025 21:34

Dd1&4 are currently conspiring on the other couch
Dd2 is pottering in the kitchen with dh
Dd3 is on her phone on the armchair
Dd5 is asleep on me
Dd6 is asleep beside me on the couch

Normally the littlest two would be in bed by now but they’re both poorly and clingy tonight ):

Ones just come home with her boyfriend and their friend from seeing some bands in the local town. They are relaxing in her room and then they will make themselves some dinner by the looks of the shopping bags. Ive reminded them they need to do the washing up.
My son is in his room writing a new computer game online with his friend who has just finished his second year at Staffordshire Uni. He goes away to Uni this year and they've been writing games together since they were in school together. Im hoping he will make himself a fortune and keep me in my dotage . (only half joking!) he had the food that was leftover from a foraging course I ran earlier, so I didnt have to cook. Im just about to go continue my binge watching of Inside Number 9 before bed.

My 21 year old son is watching The Firm with me. I’m visiting him at his house.
My daughter is in her room at uni halls. Probably browsing Vinted!

5 year is sleeping, 6 year old is sleeping, 8 year old is struggling to sleep so is in his room playing Lego.

TubeScreamer · 18/05/2025 21:23

One (17) is revising for a maths exam tomorrow
No idea what the other (19) is doing - playing on Xbox with friends probably.

AliTheMinx · 18/05/2025 21:23

One is revising psychics. The other is chatting to a close friend who now lives and studies overseas

Surely they already know what’s coming up in the test…?

You either mean physics, or your child is taking some very unusal exams!

Itsjustnotthevibe · 18/05/2025 21:18

My DS is in bed asleep and my DD is watching the Grand Prix highlights with me and DH.

CrickityCrickets · 18/05/2025 21:17

Both in their rooms pretending to be asleep but actually reading precocious books.

NeedthatFridayfeeling · 18/05/2025 21:15

psychics or physics? Revising psychics sounds the more fun tho!

Thursa · 18/05/2025 21:12

Both in their 20’s, both at work today.

Chicken5ausage · 18/05/2025 21:09

One is sleeping because he's been camping all weekend. The other one is designing her perfect house with a view to building it out of cardboard.

Tessiebear2023 · 18/05/2025 21:08

21yo is cooking lunches for the week with his gf.
19yo is in his room writing his book (about aliens/angels!)
10yo is drinking hot milk before bed (he should have gone up by now but he's dragging it out).
