Is it just me?every time ,every week come Friday mums at the school gate I chat to will ask me my plans for the weekend.i find myself racking my brain furiously thinking what I can say while they regale me with stories about their own plans to go here there and everywhere with their children or at times not.am I alone in spending most of my weekends at home with my children,aside from odd day out or meal out?I have a disabled child which really restricts us and our choices.i sometimes listen to these busy organised mums and feel I'm failing mine by not giving them so many life enhancing experiences. Sigh.

I ask my colleagues or school mums "doing anything nice this weekend?" As general chit chat. I really dont care just passing the time.

Work on your on self confidence/worth. Whatever you are doing is absolutely fine. Relaxing is important too.

After a long time of being a parent we have realised a lot of the best weekends are completely unplanned, fun at home. You dont need an itinerary to have fun.

I don't feel bad at all about telling people I had a weekend in the house. When I was young we used to spent Saturday mornings watching tv and helping with housework and Saturday afternoons playing with each other and our neighbour kids. Saturday evenings were for watching Saturday night TV which seems like a big event when you're 6! Then Sunday's are for church or just chilling out and having a roast, homework bath and bed.

Every now and then we went out to NT places or the beach or for a walk but we certainly didn't fill every weekend with activities the way people seem to feel the need to do now.

Hygge at home. Hygge quite often means doing sweet FA but brits dont know that so you will sound fabulous.
