1 is sleeping, i think, im too scared to check incase she is in that almost dropping off stage of sleep which I really don't want to disturb.

The other is looking for excuses not to sleep and also looking for excuse to not go to school tomorrow as we were meant to be away for a long weekend til tomorrow evening but our plans fell through so it's all back to normal life.

Two are sleeping. The eldest is revising for GCSE tomorrow

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 18/05/2025 21:03

All three of mine are fast asleep after a busy weekend. DD1 had a camp after SATs week and then stayed up to watch Eurovision. DD2 was out on her bike this afternoon. DS woke up at 5:30am and barely had a 10 minute nap all day.

Probably not long until DH and I are both snoring on the sofa!

Ones revising, ones at an Olly Murs concert

NestEmptying · 18/05/2025 21:03

Not sure they count as kids any more but one is training for Summer 8s (rowing) and the other is trying to continue trending on tik tok.

My daughter is having a shower ready for an early night before Sociology A level tomorrow. My son is at his place with his girlfriend. Probably getting ready to drive her to her night shift.

One playing with the cats the other is in bed.

Ponderingwindow · 18/05/2025 21:00

Studying

ZebraPrintt · 18/05/2025 20:59

Asleep

BestDIL · 18/05/2025 20:59

At the pub with his Dad! DS is 20!

Feetinthegrass · 18/05/2025 20:59

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

OakleyStreetisnotinChelsea · 18/05/2025 20:58

One on his way to bed which will involve much faffing and bed won't actually occur for some time. One watching TV with us and one lurking somewhere, probably on his bed on his phone which is his default position.

I have teenagers.

TheScottishPlay · 18/05/2025 20:55

Still in his uni city though exams are finished. Just been to the cinema with a friend.

abnerbrownsdressinggown · 18/05/2025 20:54

All in their rooms. I imagine DD1 is on her phone, DS is playing a game on the laptop and DD2 is on the Switch, judging by the devices that are not currently in the living room.

YellowOrangePink · 18/05/2025 20:54

One is playing guitar riffs too fast the other is stroppily brushing their teeth

Moltenpink · 18/05/2025 20:54

They would normally be gaming or watching YouTube, but for once they are in the garden making s’mores on the remains of our bbq.

Wittow · 18/05/2025 20:54

In her bedroom scrolling her phone. As per usual.

BelieveYouCan · 18/05/2025 20:54

One it's gaming having finished uni last week, the other is doing last minute GCSE Chemistry revision.

midlifemumma · 18/05/2025 20:54

NeverAloneNeverAgain · 18/05/2025 20:53

DS1 - building a lego technic crane as 'downtime' from revision (at uni)
DS2 - on way home from gfs
DS3 - watching a documentary with me (read talking through it so no idea what is going on hence mumsnet scrolling)
DS4 - fast asleep

thehistorymum · 18/05/2025 20:52

Both asleep after a long day of playing in the garden!

Yellowhammer09 · 18/05/2025 20:51

Sleeping, I hope! The little one was crying a short while ago but seems to have stopped (🤞).

fisherlong · 18/05/2025 20:51

One is in Oz so will be in bed ready for early start tomorrow. He is a bush ranger and loving life. Oldest probably just recovering from long, drawn out bedtime with 5 year old grandchild and sorting out newborn grandchild.
Youngest probably recovering from Arsenal match he went to today and having early night if that’s possible living in Battersea .

Callingallbutterflies · 18/05/2025 20:49

Watching Hunger Games, just me and my two daughters. Had a lovely dinner whilst catching up.

user1476613140 · 18/05/2025 20:46

Two (primary aged) asleep, two awake (teens) - one on the XBox and the other is chatting with DH in the living room.
