How do you spend your evenings?

[Rainydays55]

Just interested how everyone spends their evenings after work, do you do hobbies, If so what!? With being in lockdown for so long it’s tricky getting back into a normal evening routine!?

See a member of my family or a friend.
Swimming.

Mostly tidying, cleaning, then flopping on sofa at about 10.

I’m doing an online philosophy course every Thursday from 6 to 8

Other evenings, dh and I cook, we watch tv, play a game sometimes, online book clubs

Working till 9 as a rule

Reading

Helping with homework or making sure ds is ready for school
Bumbling in the greenhouse (it's peaceful and warm)

Really wanting to be back at work. Nursery only open till 6pm.

I used to do stuff six nights out of seven. I won't go back to it. Maybe three nights now! Four at a push.

I went to a lot of concerts and theatre. Dinner with friends. Art classes. Cinema a lot. Pub. book club. Gym. Friends' houses. Late night gallery openings. Friends round for dinner. Movie night. Prosecco and games night.

Had no children and was living alone. Now living with dp and hoping for pregnancy.

Usual evening goes:
Take bra off
Make & eat dinner whilst bouncing baby
Watch one episode of a series
Say I'm going to bed then piss around on my phone and watching the news until it's nearly 11pm
Regret my choices
Go to bed

Kids activities. Ages trying to get kids to bed. Tidying up. Washing. Flop around 11

I do my marking, lesson prep, answer emails, do leadership stuff, squeeze in eating dinner, watch crap on tv (usually whilst marking etc). Most evenings I do my school work til about 9/10pm.

Quite boring really. Used to go out all the time, drinks, dinner, cinema, theatre. Don't have the energy anymore

Get kids into bed, work for an hour or two, maybe watch an episode of something on netflix etc, go to bed. Same every evening, it's really dull!

Usually make dinner, eat dinner, tidy kitchen. Then sofa for a couple of episodes of something or a film. Then bed to read until it's time to sleep.

At weekends, we'll also have a couple of drinks and the reading might be replaced with listening to music.

Four nights take kids to hobbies, another two my own/DH clubs. Cook dinner, half an hour in the garden, tidy up, perhaps a bit of tv.

Get DD to bed, bit of housework, some work calls with colleagues in US, now it's lighter I do a bit of gardening till 8.30ish.

Then reading, tv, knitting, sewing or just lolling about on MN and browsing internet.

Dinner
Tidy up a bit
Make packed lunches
Read a book, watch tv/YouTube

Eat dinner around 6,put ds to bed around 7.45/8pm then watch a film or TV series with dh.Rinse and repeat.

General tidy up.
Pickup/drop off children to activities
Either myself of DH will bath and read stories to the two youngest.
Pop to shops if required.
Evening walk with the dog either myself or DH
9pm watch tv with DH
flick through phone or read.

Cooking, eating and tidying up
Sometimes lounge in the bath
Sometimes watch tv
Sometimes make music with OH
Sometimes browse the internet
Sometimes sit and have a chat

Occasionally go out for dinner or for a late night McDs drive through

I'm still going until 9pm after getting kids in bed and tidying, preparing for the next day.
