To ask your Sunday rituals..

[mumof2sarah]

We always say in the week, we'll do something go for a walk etc but come Sunday we always end up basically slobbing out in our pyjamas watching cheesy TV movies or having an ncis/friends marathon. My teenager uses her Sunday as her studying/homework day and my little one loves having the day with her toys. This morning was doing the same thing but this afternoon I've got the whole family tidying up, I'm doing the living room, kids their rooms and DP doing the kitchen. I've said its something I feel maybe we do weekly. Does anyone have anything specific they do on a Sunday?x

Yes. Bugger all.
Currently slumped on sofa watching old bake offs.

@Mrskeats it's such a nice way to spend a Sunday. I love doing it but I just feel like, recently, when I've had a slob day, I've found my depression affected like I feel awful and don't want to move on a Monday. When I do do something even just an hours cleaning or a walk it really helps keep me on track. Took me a good few years to realise that. I've got an obsession with cleaning videos on YouTube so I've got that playing in the back ground lol. Enjoy the rest of your chilled out Sunday xxx

I go out for 3 hours on a Sunday morning to karate training and by the afternoon I'm so shattered the most I do is school uniform laundry and showering the kids. They tend to stay in their pyjamas when possible.

Funnily enough my DH hates just slobbing around and wants to go out and do something (although he has no idea what) but I just don't want to move.

Pancakes for brekkie, home made with maple syrup.

Countryfile - just closes out the weekend

I usually check over my lesson plans for the following week aand maybe do some marking. In between tidy up/get uniforms ready.

DS has a swimming lesson in the afternoon so I take him to that.

Not much else really.

Thanks mum whatever works for you

Also slumped, with dh snoring cats and dog dreaming. Boys on ps.
teenage dd giving us a lot of worry atm so not sleeping well.

Get up at 7.30, make packed lunch. Take Ds to indoor climbing club

Sundays should be about whatever makes you happy. Today that has meant: lazy breakfast, buying a mop I've been hanging my nose over, an hour mooching around a record shop, and finally preparing a very late Sunday lunch whilst drinking a rather wet Martini.

Clear the ironing basket while listening to Archers’ omnibus, read sunday paper, watch tv. Out for dinner

It depends on the weather and how busy other weekends are.

DD rides and is often found in the stable. If she goes with a friend she is off the whole day and DH and I use the time to do things at home or shopping without a moody pre teen attached.

If DD is on her own she just goes for a lesson, so normally lazy morning, homework, fast lunch and when she is back movies or board games.

If the weather is good we try to go out, we are NT members with lots of estates around us so a stroll in the woods with a cup of tea is a nice way to spend the time.

On Sunday we usually go for a family walk with the dog, followed by a barbecue (summer) or roast (winter) at home or at the pub while the toddler sleeps in the buggy. Bliss.

Don't do much really, relax.

Prior to being pregnant:

Lie in and lots of sex
Run and/or cycle
Visit local food market

Delicious brunch out (where we could wear our sportswear)
Shopping in local deli for a meal to cook in evening
Art gallery/museum/exhibition
Candle lit bath with partner and a beer/wine
Read/catch up on work email
Watch a movie/Netflix
Sex
Snooze

Ahhhh take me back!

Always let DH have a lie in. Make some nice home cooked food, whether that’s a roast or a slow cooker meal type thing. Family walk with the dog, then everyone gets to choose one thing. Today for me it was go to Farrow and Ball and ponce about looking st paint options with a coffee in my hand. DH went for a run and DS played racquet ball for the first time. I have very very grotty memories of Sunday’s as a child. I used to dread school so the Sunday night sensation was horrible and I remember the whole day being about Sunday lunch and then being very bored, crap tv on and mooching around. We try and say Sunday is a day to do things but not at a frenetic pace.

Husband runs the dog over the Downs then back to bring us tea in bed. Chat and read the paper.
Then church and usually coffee afterwards with friends.
Off to beach or heath for dog to get more exercise.
Home for late lunch then sorting clothes, ironing and papers for the week ahead.
Then a few odd jobs, speak to children and watch bad television or read. Supper at some point.
This weekend though my husband left at about 3pm to go to work and will be away overnight.

We don’t have any rituals but we always get out of the house unless weather awful and then the dc are excited as we’ll watch films. We try to do some sporty type stuff or a walk, and have relaxed meals. I’d say today is fairly typical:
Exercise first thing for me
Eldest cooked pancakes (he’s just started cooking a bit, he’s 12) 😁
He and DH go sailing, me and DD have mammoth bike ride
DH does his hobby in afternoon, me and DC visit friends
Now roast in the oven, g&t for me

Not really. I make DS chocolate pancakes for breakfast and a full english for DH every Sunday but that's about it.

I'll start roast dinners as we head to winter.

gogo same for me, I hated Sundays as a teen, my family did nothing and we lived in the middle of nowhere

Sunday is generally a lazy day.. today I had a lie in whilst dh sorted out breakfast. I stayed in my pjs and fixed my eldest ds’s xbox (he’d done a full shut down and lost a lot of stuff, which I managed to get back for him). We went out for lunch and then to m&s to pick up a few bits for dinner. I got a new top and belt whilst we were there and a few bits for the ds’s too. Back home now and we are back to full chill out mode whilst dinners cooking. Lots of cups of tea and countryfile later!

We tend to go out at some point on Sundays. From now til April, things revolve around dcs football games otherwise it’s a walk or bike ride.
Even though I swear I’ll sort out laundry by Friday evening, it usually ends up being sorted on a Sunday.
We usually have a roast for dinner then dessert in front of the tv watching a film.

cakecrumbsinmybra sounds like you get out and do things in a Sunday too - I find it’s the only way to stave off those old memories and feelings resurfacing!

I consider Sunday a success if I have changed my bed and washed all the bedsheets. Sunday night is made marginally more enjoyable if it’s clean sheet night.

I also disinfect the litter trays.

Apart from these two tasks, I slob around the house or sit in the garden and read. It is my lazy day. Everyone needs one!

We always do something as a family on a Sunday if possible. I usually do the washing marathon on a Saturday morning and hang it all out, then put it all away on a Sunday. Get uniforms ready and homework done and do any emergency trips to hobby craft if necessary for ‘project’ type homeworks sprung on us last minute! We often go out for brunch or to a national trust type place for a walk and a sandwich and a piece of cake lunch. Then home for some telly and snuggling on the sofa whilst DH cooks a roast dinner. Sometimes I play at church or have rehearsals, in which case DCs and DH go off adventuring somewhere and send me lots of photos to make me jealous!

Work normally.Very rarely get a Sunday off.Boo hoo
