God I could be single!

DD and DS are in their bedrooms. DH is asleep in the living room and snoring. Even the rabbits are asleep. A house full and I am by myself in front of the TV!!

Anyone else?

Ummmmmm not really like being single is it, but I'm sure you are being funny. Hi

vodkaredbullgirl · 15/11/2022 22:44

So in other words, you are having time to yourself.

Dontbelieveawordofit · 15/11/2022 22:48

Some people would call that bliss (apart from the snoring). Enjoy the alone time, make a cuppa, grab some biscuits, put some guilty pleasure tv on. There'll be chaos and noise again all too soon

I like noise!
The rabbits have woken up!

Sounds like my evenings (minus the DH), being single is very different to having a bit of time to yourself.

What you are describing us nothing like being single, regardless of whether you mean it as a positive or a negative.

Sorry I did not mean to offend. Just bit bored and lonely.

Oh ignore the perma-offended!

Enjoy the time to yourself. Just don't go out and pull a bloke! 😄

You cursed it now, they are awake Grin

Hence the studies that say women tend to be happier single in older age, whereas men are apparently happier married 😉 put your feet up and enjoy, OP!

@DuplicateUserName Great idea! I can go out in my slippers and faded pyjamas with a rabbit and see which man is interested!

Enjoy your peace, i'm off to bed followed by the dogs.

Dogs 3/4 of the bed, me the other 1/4

PollyCreo · 15/11/2022 23:21

I'm single and enjoying a peaceful evening. Cats are out and I've got the king sized bed to myself!

You enjoy yourself OP!

I need photographic evidence of bunnies (and their names). It's the only way I can verify how single-like you are 😝

You'll be spoilt for choice 😂

Christ no.

I'm single

I don't have to share a bed - or even a house
I don't have children determining at what time I have to wake up
I have no-one expecting anything from me at any time.

I'm single and I love it - don't ever think your brief moments of freedom in anyway equate to the freedom of being single

Careful for what you wish for!!! He may be a snorer too!

Great innit! Watching what you like on tv. Having meals when you like or not having them. My particular favourite - not watching football..Yeah!!! Going out or not going out. No in laws!!! No school uniforms to find. NO " have you seen my..." or worse "What have you done with ....". Please , I lose enough stuff myself without looking after anyone else and their things. I would manage to lose kids and a partner!!!!

Grin And I do not want to be single. I enjoy noise and family bustle.
