Exactly as it says....
I am a mother of 2 children and a man child
I work 40hrs p/wk alongside studying too.
My hobbies? Not much, watching the soaps and working out in VR!
Although my DP would say my hobbies are laundry, washing up & talking too much! 😂😂😂

I'm a Director of Development for a big university. Full time and then some.
2 year old DS
I'm 34, DH is 35 and a workaholic banker Hmm. He's nice though and likes to do housework to relax after a long day arguing with people. Weirdo.
2 DDogs - semi-feral terriers who like cuddles and murdering things.

My hobbies are gardening in my tiny city garden, exercise (Peloton addict), exploring my city and eating out. Pre-DS I used for foster for a dog rescue and pre-Covid I volunteered at a museum at the weekend. I also like going to brunch and eating out - is that a hobby?! Cooking too. So I suppose eating is a hobby Grin.

Having a bit of a midlife crisis as not enjoying work and finding my kids not needing me in the same way difficult!!

I run my own business so work a lot of hours. I don’t mind though.
My three children are all adults (20s) but DH and I foster too.
We also have two dogs.

I’m a single mum to my 1 year old DS, who sees his dad usually once a week, and never stays over there.
Unfortunately I have no way to work right now, so I’m on UC. I’m thinking about trying to study from home next year, as I don’t have a degree and I want to be able to get a good job. Sad Very much not where I wanted to be at 31 but I’m trying to make the best of it.

I also don’t really have time for hobbies, but I’ve been sneaking in the occasional episode of Star Trek: Voyager if the baby goes off to sleep quickly, while playing my Switch. I’m also thinking about getting back into bullet journaling, I used to spend a lot of time on art for my old journal, so I’d have to do it in a more minimalist sense, but it was fun.

I'm a midwife, live with my DH and 4 year old DS- marriage isn't great though so probably soon to be single mum once I get the courage to leave; fortunate to love my job though so whatever happens would love to carry on my career. I play netball- both for the town team and volunteer to coach the children's teams, like crochet and although I enjoy reading never seem to find the time. My favourite thing though is spending time with DS, he's rad.

I've got 3 dcs aged 12, 10 and 8. Have been married for 13 years. I work full time as chief operating officer for a global data analysis company. I work more or less completely from home which means I spend my days working on paid work interspersed with house work. The kids do a few clubs a week. I have a cleaner and have started sending my laundry out. I'm hoping to retire in 10 years but not sure if I'll be able to.

I'm in a rut. Covid didn't help. I'm hoping to change the way I live soon.

Married
2 dc
Work part time in hospitality to fit around kids. Dm thinks I'm management material, I'm quite happy where I am and not taking work home or working over Christmas which is rare in the industry.
Ferry kids around to various clubs
Volunteer for girl guiding
have started learning a new sport at local club and actually am enjoying it which surprised me
Like to craft, read and watch stuff that doesn't tax my brain as the last few years have been very stressful.
