To not understand the big deal

Often when I’m asked what I’m getting up to on the weekend (at work mostly towards the end of the week it’s a common question), people will always comment on the fact I say I’m going on a night out. I typically go on a night out most weekends so people are always saying “again?” and make comments on me having a night out every weekend.

AIBU to not see the big deal in me having a night out each week? It’s no one’s business surely?

If you're in your 20s, no kids, perfectly normal. Older with kids, less so, but there's nothing wrong with it either way if you can afford it and are not neglecting anyone in the process.

are they in a different situation than you?
do you have children?
are you younger?
