I have a roast on the go and the DCs are playing a card game in the living room. The baby is playing quietly on the play mat for once. All is calm. What’s going on in your house?

Ds is either in his room or in the garden. DP is washing up. I’m in the lounge with the dog.

20 month old DS watching Baby TV before his bath. I’m having a bottle of beer. DH has just gone upstairs to play his guitar (badly).

Bottle of Moët in the garden, listening to some Ibiza deep house. Meze in about 30 mins, and then a Thai green curry later. No
Easter eggs consumed in our house yet, so this evening’s calories are relatively guilt free.

DH and DD eldest on the ps-4, daughter the younger out for a walk (she old enough and eminently trustworthy with the social distancing and a loner), me on MN, and the cat is about to get served by a wasp.

LongPauseNoReply · 12/04/2020 18:24

DH and DD are watching the newest Spiderman. I've brought the cats in for the evening and fed them. We had a roast chicken at lunchtime so we're not really hungry, just picking at bits in the fridge.

boomchikawowwow · 12/04/2020 18:24

We've just had a roast, washed the dishes and tidied up. DC are talking online and gaming and the dogs are looking at me in disgust because they didn't get any leftovers

MuddyPuddlesAndPrettyBubbles · 12/04/2020 18:24

DH is on his phone. DD is watching Teen Titans Go. DS(3) is climbing over everyone, being an arse, and generally earning himself an early bedtime.

BlessYourCottonSocks · 12/04/2020 18:25

Just had tea. DH is on Kindle, DS is upstairs, presumably on XBox, I'm on here. Dog is snoring next to DH.

MagnoliatheMagnificent · 12/04/2020 18:26

We're about to have our Easter egg hunt! Dd1 has hidden them around the garden, Dd2 and I are about to search... we had a lovely lunch in the garden earlier too.

SpicedCamomile · 12/04/2020 18:26

We have just eaten a delicious lamb roast cooked by DH and an Easter trifle (normal trifle with mini eggs) made by me. DH and I are having a coffee and listening to Amy Mann in the front room. The kids are playing some electronic memory game in the playroom. Hope to finish watching Jesus Christ Superstar later, maybe go for a walk, and finish cleaning the guinea pig cage.

SeaViewBliss · 12/04/2020 18:29

We had a roast at about 3. DH and DD are watching a film. DS is on his Xbox and I’m watching Friends/scrolling internet crap.

We’re doing a family quiz later and video calling grandparents.

spagbog5 · 12/04/2020 18:29

We've all just finished a board game, dh and dd2 have beer and are starting the bbq while I Mumsnet on my phone in kitchen, dd1 in the conservatory having prepped for bbq and dd3 getting trackies on ready for dinner outside.
It's been a lovely chilled day and I'm about to make myself a g and t 😉.
S'mores on the bbq for dessert !

AlunWynsKnee · 12/04/2020 18:32

Ds on the xbox talking to his friends, DH and I are reading or pottering on the Internet between the living room and the garden. Dd is doing something in her room. It's very pleasant.

JonHammIsMyJamm · 12/04/2020 18:32

DH is doing something upstairs on the computer

I’m on the sofa in the living room, buggering about on here

OhNoNoNoNotThatOne · 12/04/2020 18:33

Love Readinge these threads, such a unique insight.

Dh is paying Call Of Duty on his pc, ds is paying with the door spring in the hallway, he's becoming very proficient and I'm cooking pasta bolognaise for dinner, would be spaghetti, but haven't seen any anywhere is weeks!!!

youngestisapsycho · 12/04/2020 18:34

Me and DH in living room watching The Chase, he is on his iPad too. DD13 is in her room playing online with friends and on a house party video with them too, DD 17 is in her room reading. I have just ordered an Indian takeaway for our dinner.

Husband and 14 year old DD prancing around the kitchen to Boney M

MissBax · 12/04/2020 18:35

I've just put DD 2.5 to bed, now sat in lounge with DP waiting for Who Wants to be a Millionaire... Thrilling.

DangerMouse17 · 12/04/2020 18:39

I'm in the bath after a hellish workout. DS is on his x-box and chatting to friends. Dinner soon and prob light...scrambled eggs or something as we finished off yesterday's pasta for lunch and we're still pretty full! Blush

CarolineIngalls · 12/04/2020 18:39

DH is in the bath, I am in lounge with kids. Older two playing together on switch, little one on my lap watching Disney. Waiting for little one bed time.

We had a roast today, family walk (lovely but I had to trade my run for it so I am a bit restless, board game, and egg hunt. Lovely day (except the restlessness).

Inaquandry19 · 12/04/2020 18:39

Dp is out for a walk. DS is jumping around the living room on a massive sugar high, he is supposed to be on wind down for bed time. I think I will need gin later!

Pepperwand · 12/04/2020 18:43

DH and I on our phones, 3 year old and 1 year old watching in the night garden. Will be putting the children to bed at 7pm and then DH and I are having steak pie for dinner and I'll probably have some red wine.

MuddyPuddlesAndPrettyBubbles · 12/04/2020 18:43

@CarolineIngalls we didn't go for a walk today so you can have mine, and also DH's Wink

Update on my earlier - DS(3) is now in bed making his toy Spiderman battle an unknown baddie. He's refused pjs so I hope it's a mild night.

Starrynight73 · 12/04/2020 18:44

We are all chilling after a massive roast, still got the easter egg hunt to go now.
Ds1 on his gaming computer, dd in the bath, ds2 on his kindle....in the bottom if my wardrobeBlush with the door shut...i know!
I'm chilling on my bed on my phone checking ds2 can breathe every now and then. Glass of wine in a bit and see what rubbish is on TV.

SimonJT · 12/04/2020 18:45

My lovely boyfriend and son are playing with some lego, i’ll have to disturb them soon for bath time.
