Tell me about your average family weekend?!

[Kitchenbattle]

I’ll start-

Friday evening- Chinese take away and a movie. 🙌

Sat- DP brought me a cuppa in bed. Got brekkie.laundry washed/hung up in AM. Spent the day at DP’s parents and had dinner there, played games. Back home for 6pm. DC chilled. I ran to the shops to get the food shopping done. Chilled for the rest of then evening. Had a bath and bed.

Sunday (so far) - DP Brought me cuppa in bed. Got brekkie. put laundry in dryer for the last bit of drying, sorted, ironed and put away laundry. Went up to dd12 and chatted to her for a while (checked in on her plans/homework etc). Put ham on for dinner. (To boil first). Went swimming with DS10. Dd12 stayed home and did her homework and tidied her room. DP stayed home too and chilled and turned of ham when needed. Back home now and the ham is in the over. DS10 is watching tv. Dd has a friend over -( they have asked to bake later) so we will do that. We will have dinner and chill for the rest of the evening.

To be honest…we are so broke we have done very little this weekend. Just did house chores and watched tv. Sad I know…

This weekend DD is away with guides so we have spent most of the weekend working but we have attended church this morning.

Friday night - quite often early bedtime after a movie and takeaway.

Normally we go out on Saturday for friends/familiy/event.

Sunday morning church. Sunday afternoon Sunday roast.

We had breakfast together yesterday morning before going on a nice long dog walk, chilled in the afternoon and watched a film then went out for a meal and drinks last night.

Today feeling a bit delicate, I stayed in bed with a cuppa whilst DP walked to the pub with the dog to fetch the car. We've cleaned house top to bottom and then I went food shopping whilst hes chilled and watched football. Ive cooked a big roast and just waiting for all the DC and their partners to come round. DGS will no doubt want to get all his toys out and house will be trashed.

Been a perfect weekend. Bath and early night tonight ready for the working week ahead.

Friday night-after school youngest (teenager) and his older sister went horseriding together then youngest who is teenager always has a friend over as his mum (single parent) always works late on a Friday. He plays on switch for a couple of hours and they had pizza.
watched tv and then bed

Saturday - DH went to yard and youngest teenager rode and mucked out. Dh dropped them both home and they had showers and baths to warm up and he went to allotment for a couple of hour. I did 3 weeks worth of English homework with youngest . I made lunch. Various DIY jobs on Saturday afternoon. Chinese and friends over for board game night.

Sunday - slow start. Middle one wanted lift to work so she got one and youngest (13/14) went to rugby from 10-12. Went to the works to get tracing paper for school homework and then school homework done - art and tracing stuff
roast dinner on and youngest is doing his washing clothes and cleaning rugby kit.

roasting dinner at 6 pm and then they all except youngest and me off to pub for weekly quiz. I’m recovering from major surgery at the moment and still on and off morphine so I am not doing very much at all and I am in pain right now. So I am going to dose up and go and lie down and leave youngest to watch Disney

12 ‘ore weeks of recovery here !!!

I enjoyed our mortgage this weekend 🤣 Friday night the teenager and I both had showers and I chilled in front of the fire with a book and he chilled in his room. grocery shop got delivered and we both enjoyed a caramel egg.

Saturday pottered round the house, he went to the gym. Did a little bit of housework and spent most of the day on the sofa.

today more of the same but I stripped and made my bed.

It depends on the weather here

Friday night - tea , played board games with kids, bedtime, Dh and I watched a comedy show on tv. Bed by 10pm.
Saturday- dh got up with kids at 7 , I got up at 9. Breakfast, watched a bit of tv, kids played on devices. Got dressed, lunch, tidied up. In laws came for a visit, stayed for tea. Bed time, then dh and I watched a film together.
Today- I got up with kids at 7, breakfast, played with toys. Got dressed, went for a walk. Lunch, homework, baked cookies. Kids played on devices while I prepped tea (dh has been doing diy all day) Next will be tea, games, bedtime. We will watch a bit of tv before bed.

Friday night. Dd was revising, DS2 was at scouts, DS1 was chilling. I watched traitors and drank wine and then phone my sister (50 mins!) and DH played computer games

Saturday DS 1&2 chilled all day. DD did some of her art project in morning. I did washing and then DH and I went out to chose a carpet and run various errands in town. Had Burger King lunch and took
subway lunches home for kids.
aferoon, DD & I went out practising her driving and running some other errands. dh plastered and sanded the fireplace where it was damaged. Sat night, DH went to watch ice hockey. The kids and I chilled.

Sunday. DD at work. DS 1&2 at football in morning. DH painted the fireplace. I did household chores. This afternoon I did the supermarket shop.

really really boring stuff!

Friday night I went to the gym, DH went to his usual martial arts club, DS played on his PC.

Saturday DH took DS to a volunteering activity then came home and did his tax return, I did the hoovering and cleaned the bathroom, then we did the grocery shopping. We spent the evening doing a boxset binge while DS was gaming upstairs.

Today we all had a lie in, then DS had a massive meltdown over homework and needed to be recalibrated (yowled at 😆), then he got on with a good chunk of it while DH and I pottered around doing housework type stuff. We've watched a few old episodes of Silent Witness and now DH is painting, I'm knitting, and DS is mooching around complaining about being bored. I'm about to tell him the alternative is finishing his science homework though so I think he's about to magically find something to do...

Recalibrated!! Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

Just me and the 7 year old.
Friday- get all uniform into the wash, child has a later bedtime.
Saturday we either go shopping in the morning or to the library, then walk the dog after lunch.
Sunday is football for the child and then after lunch we walk the dog again.

It's not very exciting but it's peaceful and we're not bored.

Once a month or so we'll do a day trip on the Saturday somewhere different.

Friday - finished work, met DD for drinks, home to chill in front of TV.
Saturday - DD went out with friends. I did some cleaning, washing, reading, MN-ing and paperwork. Left over party food from freezer for dinner for me, she got in at 11.
Sunday - washing, ironing, DD cooked dinner for tomorrow night. Watched a film together while I did some more work. We are heading out for Chinese food then home to do some cutting out while we watch TV.

I love seeing people’s weekends! I won’t bore you with the usual household chores and routine dog walks but just assume they were done 😁

Friday evening - Also takeaway (Pizza) and a movie, just me and DH. Then caught up on The Traitors.

Saturday - Local forest walk with DH and some doggy friends. Then went for a pub lunch, with friends and dogs. DH then went for a bike ride with his bike friend in the afternoon, I did some of my crochet and then continued watching this Netflix series I’m loving. Then in the evening we went to my parents for a board game and wine night.

Sunday (so far) - Met friends for brunch in our favourite place and then had a lazy rest of the morning. Cooked a late roast dinner for me and DH. DH has picked up the electric guitar again after a few years so he’s been practicing a lot of the afternoon. I went for a jog with the dog and finished my current book (a book of British mythology which I loved!) and now the dog is laying on my lap snoozing away whilst I type this and listen to some records. DH is chatting to his Mum on the phone.
