To hate Sundays !

[lk26]

God the boredom if it ! The shirts to iron for kids and work shirts. The ruddy cleaning of non stop mess and dust ( OH renovating the house ! ) gormless teenagers watching drivel loudly on the tv and a whiny toddler !!

Monday and an empty house again can't come quick enough !!

I love Sunday, fav day of the week. Relaxing.

Teenagers, even gormless ones, can be taught to iron and clear up dust.

Nope love Sundays. Am at work Mon-Fri so got to love the weekends

Just miserable old me then !

God, you need to sort your weekends out if you hate Sundays! YABVU!!!

Well, adults and teenagers can iron their own shirts. If you're bored can you go out and do something? A crafty afternoon pint?

Love Sundays. Do no housework, eat takeaway and sandwiches, go out for coffees, see friends, watch TV with the children. Mmmm. I make a conscious effort on Sunday to do nothing that I don't enjoy (unless completely unavoidable). Spend Mon to Fri being a wage slave and Saturdays sorting out family life, so it's the one day of the week that I indulge myself and everyone else.

With you on the shirts op as my dh works away and I do that too.

Teen dds have watched the whole of Gavin and Stacey from
The beginning. We are on the wedding now! Sweet Jesus.

Oh have had a crafty glass at the pub though. Very nice.

I'd force teenagers to babysit whiny toddler, leave the house under OH's supervision and head out for a coffee and paper somewhere quiet.

No, you're definitely not alone! I work Mon-Fri and I love Friday nights and Saturdays. On a Sunday, I start thinking about work from the minute I get up - I just can't help it!

I work in a school so three weeks from now I won't have that Sunday feeling!

I usually work a 10 hour shift on a Sunday.
Today I've had the day off.
I am watching Glastonbury with my 10 dd. We haven't moved for hours!

Kids have been in the paddling pool all day. I've read my book in the garden. Dh in charge of the bbq. As my beloved late little brother used to say - 'Live in the now.'

they are your teenagers and your toddlers, so yes, yabu. Try doing something on a sunday.
Only boring people are bored, as my ma used to say.

To be fair they do babysit not usually in the day though. I do do things but mostly alone as OH doing up the house.
Live in a beautiful part of the country so plenty to do just fed up of it all !!

Excuse me, what is this... "ironing"?

Actually teenagers are not mine they are step children.
Today took toddler to pool and out for coffee and walked round a lovely town and market so am not at home all day but when you get home and the mess and the noise !!! Grrrrr

You need to sort out your weekends - Sundays are mint.

Sunday is my lie in day so that starts it off well. I tey to get crap like ironing etc done on Friday night (rock n roll eh?) So all I have to do on Sunday is play / go out with ds, eat nice (un rushed) food, maybe batch cook (sadly I enjoy this) then chill with dp on Sunday evening

Can you tell I'm enjoying end of the year time? Usually sunday night is planning time!

"In the end, it was Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and
that terrible listlessness that starts to set in at about 2:55 when you
know you've taken done all the ironing you can bear, but yet there is still ironing all the baths you can usefully take that day, that
however hard you try to block out gormless TV stare at any given paragraph in the newspaper you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul when the bastards will expect you to feed them." (mostly) Douglas Adams, Life the Universe and Everything.

I actually really like Sundays as a rule, but I've had the odd Sunday like the above.

I love Sundays. Pottering, long dog walks, afternoon film, Sunday roast in the winter, veging on the sofa together. LOVE it.

You need to renovate your Sundays!

I have two step children who are late teens / twenties and a toddler. It is hard. Especially if you are in the role of a wickard stepmother who dares asks them to help out.

I used to hate Sundays as a kid, my parents would spend the whole day unhappily doing stuff around the house and by the end of the day I would be climbing the walls and desperately looking forward to school on Monday.

Sometimes I still get an overwhelmingly suffocating feeling when I think about Sundays and then I remember that I am an adult and I don't have to spend my Sundays being bored any more! DD had a sleepover last night so I took DD, DS and DD's friend to the cinema this morning then out for lunch. Then this afternoon the DCs have been playing under DH's supervision whilst I had a nap - bliss!

Monday and an empty house again.

I think the issue is this. If I had the house to myself all week I might be a bit tense about having people under my feet at the weekend. I am in my full on workplace Mon-Fri though and dealing with packed lunch and nursery run down the M4. Compared to that Sunday is an oasis.

Not all week ! I wish. No an empty house till they come home from school/work !

I love sundays coz it is the only day that I do fuck all
