What is your weekend routine (lighthearted)

[Cornecopia]

Good morning everyone. I have 3dcs 14. 9 and 4 and my weekend routine- I wake around 6:30, make a hot water and lemon, sit in the living room planning my day and let the kids rise naturally.
saturday me and dp will do a deep clean and then a food shop, take the kids to a park or out somewhere.
Sundays is a slow day, I wake the same time make my lemon water etc. usually cook a roast dinner, iron uniforms etc.
what about you guys?

We don't have a routine. I don't work so the housework and shopping are done during the week so the weekend is for whatever we fancy doing.

This weekend we are without a car (and live rurally so are very limited). We will go for a walk today and then enjoy our hobbies (cross stitch and jigsaws for me and computer games for DH and DS) this afternoon. Tomorrow we will go to the remembrance service at the village church and then out for Sunday lunch as an early birthday meal for me :)

One of my teenagers works as a referee so generally on a Saturday morning me and dh take turns taking him to wherever he has his match
Saturday afternoons we generally do something as a family/just me and dh if the kids dont want to or see friends/wider family which often eats into Saturday night.

Sunday morning both kids have matches for their sports teams, one after the other so that takes us till just after Sunday lunch. I then like to have a clean of the house with a podcast on and then chill and relax before Monday comes round again

I think ours is quite traditional.
Sat morning is football for one son so eine of us take him and stay to watch of having a match. Shopping has to happen if I haven't been Friday afternoon

Sunday is church for me and one of my sons (kids get free choice if they come or not( however this Sunday is remembrance Sunday so we'll all be there. Then Sunday dinner, sometimes with my lovely in laws who live up the road.
Around this kids are welcome to go to town to see friends etc and I think we all want to see Paddington 3 tomorrow

Lovely! Happy birthday 💐

Ours is a whirl of sport, cleaning and taxiing kids. Three DC have school sports fixtures this morning so dh has just left to get them there. He will then get himself off to his own match and I'll pick them all up at lunch time. I'm currently sat in bed with the cat having a coffee but I need to get up and clean the house.
DH and I are off out to a birthday party tonight but kids staying in. Normally we will all eat together if possible and maybe go to the pub and play cards or just stay home and watch a film.
Tomorrow the kids have a remembrance day service with school. DH will take youngest DC to a sports match in the afternoon as I am working for a few hours. All the DC play sport at county level or above so Sundays are mainly taken up with that. We need to rest more really and take more time but it just doesn't seem possible at the moment.

DH and I take it in turns to have a lie in. So one of us gets up with DDs (7 and 5) and the other sleeps. We then alternate it the next day.

I'll have a black coffee when I wake up. DH also has a coffee when he gets up. We tend to get DDs homework done on a Saturday morning so it's done for the weekend.

I work part time so tend to vacuum, mop, change the beds and do the food shop on my days off during the week. Over the weekend DH and I will share cleaning the bathrooms and the kitchen. Again, we like to do that in the morning so the rest of the day is free for us to do whatever.

We will always go out somewhere together at the weekend, even if just for a walk and a stop at a café. We have National Trust membership and an annual pass for the local farm park so they are easy options for a few hours out of the house. I normally try and carve out an hour to go to the gym. Or we will all go swimming on Sunday. The pool where DDs do swimming lessons let them swim for free on a Sunday which is really handy.

On Saturday nights we almost always watch a film and have pizza for dinner. Each week we take it in turns to choose the film.....it does mean we watch Frozen (DD2's favourite) once a month 🤣

Older kids - 14 and 16 so the days of going to activities are over.

I do a good shop in the morning. Then come home and read the papers. Potter about. Might do a bit to tidy the garden. We have steak for dinner and the watch tv. Very occasionally we will go out or I will go out with my friends.

Sunday go for a walk and more pottering. Pretty mundane.
