What do yo do of an evening with teens in the house?

[Mooboo3]

What do you do of an evening? Now the teens are no longer cute and snuggly toddlers.
I cook, we eat in front of tv since lockdown, not good I know but I’ve run out of things to talk about.
dd 17 is usually out, ds may watch tv if it’s stranger things otherwise he legs it upstairs to play computers. Dh watches tv and will go to bed about 8.30.
I clean up.
I can’t help feeling there’s more to evenings than this.
what do you do?

We always eat together around the table. My husband does most of the cooking and puts a fair amount of thought and effort into so it's good to appreciate nice food and lively conversation.

We usually eat together either at the table or have a TV dinner, often watch a film together. If it is something I don't fancy I might read a book or have a bath.

To be honest it is a relief after years of young children's tea/bath/bed routine..

Op we also went from eating at the table to in front of the telly in lockdown and haven’t gone back - I hate it but I think it’s too ingrained in them now! I don’t bother fighting it as figure it’s not that important in the grand scheme of things.
We tend to be doing lifts to swim training or DH at running club, another one at netball, me at work some evenings, but when we are all home we tend to have one in the bath all evening, the other one alternates between sitting with us or in her room, playing with the dog/cat etc If we can find something we all like to watch we will do that but becoming increasingly hard to agree on something! It’s rare we are all in together though.

I am very good in my own company but don't enjoy nights out anyway. I speak here and there on WhatsApp to various friends. Beyond that I relish the hard earned

Oops. I relish the hard earned peace and quiet. Hobbies radio music mumsnet you tube etc.

We don't really hang around with the teens in the evenings - their choice not ours but me and DH are happy to do our own thing. We all have very busy days so DH and I usually watch TV and do admin for our business, DD17 will be doing homework/working at her part time job or chatting to friends online, DS15 will mainly be doing stuff on his PC (homework if we are lucky!). They come down throughout the evening and chat for a while so we don't ignore each other but it is rare that we watch TV together.

Banter, lots and lots of banter, wind ups, pranks and silliness. All day every day. Even the cat joins in. The other day that hardened criminal stole the dreamies out of my handbag and tried running off with them!
