To hate weekends

[freakazoidroid]

I hate weekends, well mostly. I don't like the fact that the house gets messier, we fight about what to do( we have a 12 and nearly 4 year old). I like my routine in the week. And Dh and I nearly always fight.
Anyone else like this?

I hate the fact that our weekends are so bloody structured - music lessons and then sport and more sport and then watching sport. We can never just randomly go somewhere. When the sport is done there's homework and nagging to do.

On the other hand all those sporting activities mean I usually get Saturday afternoons all to myself.

I love weekends because DH is home. We spend time as a family, going out, cooking, baking, even doing chores together is nice. DH spends most of his time playing with DD (3) because he hardly sees her during the week. If DH had his own way we'd be out doing loads of things all weekend so I've insisted on equal time pottering/mooching at home.

YaNbu - have weekends like that here sometimes. Got 2 sons 11 and 3 and a 7 weeks old baby. Today was crap earlier as dh stressed at ds2 and I stressed at dh over it. I'm longing for weekend to have dh home and he's tired from week at work so not good combo at times x

Saturday: DH and DD swimming in AM, out of the house and I have a good 2 and a bit hours to myself. Washing gets sorted and when they come back we either mooch or DD and I go to town.
Take away for tea.
Sunday: DH does the shopping. Me and DD do homework, finish the washing. I cook dinner and we all laze about watching films or DD has a friend over.
We are boring as he'll aren't we!!

Hell not he'll

I don't like weekends either. I'm tired by the weekend so would like to just get the house clean and veg out. DH on the other hand likes every weekend to be a relentless catalogue of activities - DIY, park, shopping, visiting people, going to see some exhibition. And that would be in one day. This is further complicated by the fact that, as a teacher, I need to spend at least a few hours of each weekend lesson planning.

I am currently pregnant and he still wants weekends to be the same. I keep telling him I need to relax but because he finds a museum and a four mile country walk relaxing, he struggles to understand that this is cripplingly exhausting for me at the moment.

let him go alone then kicking.

Why can't he go by himself then as santa said?

Do you work in the week Freakazoid? How come you don't need a rest? i love weekends!

He is currently out on his own with DS because I refused to go

He just can't relate to how I feel, he is never ill. He keeps complaining about how lazy and anti social I am when I'm pregnant - he will happily take over the housework, but doesn't get why I want to cut back on socialising and big family days out.

Silent, your DD sounds lovely.
