Husband is away and teens out. Don't know what to do with myself!?

[F0UR]

What shall I do? I've had dinner and now sitting on the sofa wondering what to do?! What do people do?

Go out for a walk. It's a lovely evening.

Omg I'm going to live vicariously through you whatever you do 😂

This is me this weekend. DH has gone to Uni open day with teen Dc. Other Teen DC is out and about.
yesterday I went to the cinema.
Today I went for a walk and had lunch out with a book. It was great. Am contemplating ordering a take away.

Pour myself a large glass of wine, eat something unhealthy and jndulgent, and watch something trashy on tv, or read with some nice music playing.

I live on my own...so on my own a lot.. l have been out most of the day.
I watch what l want on telly.
I read ( one of my passions). Listen to my music.
Listen to podcasts.
Talk on the phone to a friend.
I don't do cleaning / housework on an evening lol..

I would have a shower and put on tan and listen to cheesy music 🤣🎶with wine

enjoy op

A combo of the above.
If it's nice where you are, sit outside with a glass of wine and a good book.
Later, have a lovely bath (with another wine if you feel inclined) while listening to music / having a book read to you.

Gardening, swimming, knitting, sewing, cooking,
I’m much more productive late afternoon/evening

Pour a large glass of wine and enjoy the peace. Swim in the morning and and lunch out

My husband left five years ago. I still don’t know what to do with myself in the evenings when the children are with him!
it’s strange when the house is quiet. I totally understand why you feel like you’re not sure what to do even though people tell you to enjoy the peace. Hope you find something fun to do.

Bike ride, book, walk, bath? Cut the grass tho that tends not to be an option I generally favour. Do you like gardening?

Oh yes

Glass of wine and a book.

I'm home alone as oh is out. I'm drinking disaronno and coke, eating jelly babies and watching Bridgerton from the start. Very sophisticated 😁

large glass of wine, good film, bath with nice bath soak ....... ahhhh

You are a fully fledged person.

What do you want to do?

You must have dome ideas beyond the needs of the people you live with.

I’d bring my duvet and pillow down and snuggle up on the sofa watching TV
if you hadn’t eaten I would say wander down to the local and have a light bite with a wine, take the dog with me and enjoy the walk home.

Another baby?

I know quite a few people who have had older children leave home etc, teens get older and no longer needing them, they've gone for one more DC and it's been great

Great idea but husband is out!

My kitchen needs cleaning if you're really desperate. I'm going to watch New Amsterdam on Netflix while you clean it for me 😁

If I’m ever alone I end up scrolling through reels on Instagram for ages. Totally trashy stuff, random memes, people dancing etc. I just find it so relaxing and can lose hours doing that 🙈🤣

Bliss. Just sit and be. Bath, glass of wine. Utter peace. Happiness.

Oh god, the dream!

Large wine, bath, crisps and dip, trash on Netflix or cheesy music on Spotify.

Or an evening walk in the sun before all that.

Edit - the PP’s idea of wandering down to the local with the dog for food and wine wins
