Do you snuggle in front of the TV with DC/DP and go out for brunch

[NowlistenhereHelenArcher]

Or do you watch telly and go out to eat?

I never here anyone in rl talk about snuggling or describe a meal as brunch.

Is it just a cringey MN thing?

I have a beloved American friend who says 'Pull on your big girl panties'. Which always gives me a vision of someone in hurry, trying desperately to hop into a pair of giant knickers with polkadots while looking for their keys and bag.

Ugh panties is even worse, i don't know why but that word gives me the shudders

I snuggle and have brunch

Not restricted to MN but I find the constant descriptions of posters 'sobbing' because they are a bit upset. I personally dislike the word 'pampering'.
I find the notion of infantilising grown women distasteful. I didn't much care for today's thread from the poster who cannot sleep when her partner is away because she needs to be cuddled like a baby in order to sleep. It is a bit demeaning in my opinion.

I DO say snuggle, TV and brunch 😂

I don't have kids though.

No snuggling because I like my space. I cuddle with my children. We love brunch.

You are over invested, OP. 🤣

I'm a self confessed snuggler and brunch muncher

We do not snuggle, but we do brunch. Occasionally we go to a bottomless brunch (when I'm not pregnant) and then we brunch HARD.

"Pampering" makes me cringe too - it just sounds too much like Pampers the nappy!

We have snuggling and brunch.

My teen/older children love a Sunday brunch, just right if they have been out the night before, heavier than a breakfast, earlier than lunch.

DD and I often- sometime DS and I snuggle to watch a movie, with a throw and a pot of tea and biscuits.

Both are lovely.

We don’t go out for brunch we make it, then snuggle up on the couch afterwards lol

I have never eaten brunch in my life and will never snuggle anyone, ever. I offer hugs freely, though and eat constantly, so I don't go without.

I snuggle with my 10 year old. So bloody what? We are harming no one.

Yes to snuggling. Always watch TV with legs up on DH's lap and cat wrapped round the chest or neck of one of us, so snuggled, rather than primly sitting up backs straight, feet on the floor, just watching TV. Half the fun is the bundle of warm bodies that end up on the sofa with you.. And if DC are up for a film night in winter they wear onesies and wrap massive blankets around themselves until they look like cocoons, so also snuggled.

We don't go out for brunch, though Dteens often crawl out of bed at 11 and make brunch for themselves before disappearing again until dinnertime.

We eat brunch - basically breakfast type food at lunchtime on the weekends. I have never said the word snuggle though, and we tend to sit on different sofas when watching TV.

You are over invested, OP

Or overinfested as we say on The Archers board!

No snuggling in front of the TV. We sit at opposite ends of the corner sofa so we both get a table for our wine! We do share the footstool however.

No brunch either. We are very early risers and need breakfast before we can function. We prefer coffee and cake mid morning.

I'm Welsh we cwtch.

sofa "snuggles" are for kids who are ill or falling asleep in the daytime (after too old for actual daytime naps).

brunch is a perfectly normal description of a very late breakfast or early lunch - the type where those who haven't eaten yet can have a breakfast roll but those who were up at the crack of dawn can have proper lunch.

we don't have 'family movie nights' but if we did it would be much more than watching a film, it would be more of an event - like when you used to go to blockbuster to choose a vhs and popcorn

'i don't use 'date night' - feels to me like saying publicly 'look at us having a drink/dinner and going home for a shag'.

Ugh panties is even worse, i don't know why but that word gives me the shudders

How about panties with a moist gusset?

My 4 year old says 'let's have a snuggle' I don't know where it came from but it makes me cringe ha ha.
To him it means sit on the sofa together with a blanket.

it would be more of an event - like when you used to go to blockbuster to choose a vhs and popcorn

Those were the days

I find the whole DP DC DS DC DD thing creepy..... the other stuff, not so much ;-)

Brunch is a time slot I'd say between 10 and 12 when you go out for a meal and they serve you fancy breakfast food or eggs with spinach / smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce or bacon with pancakes, strawberries and maple syrup. I love brunch and I do say it in real life if I'm going to a place that serves that food, at that time and has a brunch menu.

I don't say snuggle on the sofa though. That's just watching Telly the same as I do every night.

My DP and I do both. We use words like "Just got home and am snuggled in" in our texts and we describe mornings together as "snuggly". Apart from this chat, no one else knows!

It's just us being sweet and a little sappy because we've both come from bad relationships and appreciate each other. We often cuddle up watching boxsets on a weekend morning and he'll either "come in" to me or I'll "come in" to him. One of us will fall asleep and drool/snore. I've missed so many ends of episodes.

Other words we use: cuddle, cuddly, blanket snuggles but (and I stress) only in private. We're known for being somewhat cuddly but none of our friends know just how sappy we are.

I have "brunch" sometimes at the weekend and it's ace.

Love a snuggle and went out to brunch on Saturday. I called it brunch too!
