To ask what you do on Sundays?

[MovieQueen12]

I am really starting to dislike them.
I'm single with no kids and not much in the way of family. The few friends I have are all busy with family stuff.
Aibu to ask what you do on Sundays? They are always sort of tainted by the thought of Mondays at work too....

Gym class in the morning, then usually out and doing something, long walk on the beach, an event ; music in the park, a museum, theatre, meet up with friends/family, I have a DC and DH now, but I've always preferred an out Sunday to an indoor Sunday. When I lived alone it used to be walks, pub lunches, acoustic bands, galleries etc, now there will be the odd zoo, firestation open day, park run, museum etc with DS alongside, but we're lucky to live in a seaside town where there's often a lot going on that's cheap/free. Local community café has live music, good cake and different themes, pagan festival last month, kids' fayre this etc. There's a sea shanty festival this weekend coming, an emergency services event a few weeks ago. Sundays at home are a bit depressing unless it's bitterly cold and you can go out for a walk stop for a coffee/hot chocolate and come home to light a fire and wait for whichever casserole/slow roast is for dinner

Depends on what time of year. Summer and Winter it will be vastly different.

Sundays are my chill day. Also have grown up DC so I don't usually have set plans.

Today is Mothers Day so I went on strike for any household things that needed doing. But I did pack up some orders of things I sold, spend time with the dogs, watched a movie on the telly with a bowl of popcorn. Phoned my mum for a chat. Just a real nothing day. Oh and I rotated my cupboard to swap the summer stuff for winter.
.
But I sometimes go shopping, go for a bit of a hike, tidy the house, do some gardening, meet a friend. Make pasta, batch cook a bit. Or I just have a take it easy day like today.

Up and in the garden for 9.30 till 1. Lunch. Shower. Hair wash. Dried hair. Researched collagen supplements (minefield!!). Picked up DC from work. Bit of shopping. Sorted airing cupboard. Made beds. Chilled in garden with a glass of wine.

Lie in. Updated bullet journal for month ahead. Wrapped a birthday present. Took two DC to local leisure centre for an hours badminton and a swim. Met friend and her daughter for lunch and handed over present. Medical appointment. Home, admin tasks, hair mask, made dinner. Chores for 2 hours cleaning and tidying. Bedtime with a book.

I try to keep Sundays for exercise and the afternoon for catching up with errands and house things, ready for the week ahead. Sometimes as well as dinner I batch cook.

No DC and I'm not single but DP and I spend Sundays pretty separately.
I'll usually start with a gym class, and I do housework, laundry, sometimes an afternoon nap.
I also do meal prepping for the week ahead and get the groceries delivered.
Rarely see friends, I like to have a quiet day.

Varies week on week, but we tend to try and have a quiet day. Today we've been gardening. Sometimes we'll visit family, or travel somewhere to take the dog for a walk, but a quiet day at home is our favoured choice

Panicking none of my kids have a clean school uniform for Monday then doing laundry like a mad woman

This particular Sunday? - I’m on a cruise liner, sailing from Corsica to Portofino after a three night city break in Rome, heading on to the Cannes film festival, Pisa, Lucca, Palma and then a city break in Barcelona at the end.
This was the holiday I had to cancel three years ago when I was in hospital with Covid, and it’s been a hard struggle with long Covid ever since, but I’ve finally made it!

Mow the lawn
Washing
Cleaning
Make sure everyone’s school uniforms are sorted for the week
Sunday lunch (not usually a roast, just some nice food eaten together).

Usually a lie in and then it depends.

We're getting ready to move so today we were working on clearing the loft. Last weekend we did some DIY jobs.

Might do some jobs in the garden, a couple of loads of laundry. Whatever needs doing.

We might go out for the afternoon, an antique centre maybe, might watch a film.

There's no fixed routine really.

I’m married 15 years now. But I used to feel Sundays were so lonely when I lived alone so I used to do courses and nurse a hangover either sat or Sunday (whatever day I went out) or head to a shopping centre and have lunch

now it’s chance to cook and freeze dinners for the week ahead (massively reducing mid week stress) and I try and do something nice eg. Coffee shop or swim or mooch in the nice local shops around me

Have a lovely time BadDoc that sounds idyllic and well deserved

Lovely , babdoc , enjoy yourself.

Today we gardened and had a roast. Have you ASKED your friends if they’re adverse to company. It’s an almighty pain for us to travel (and DH’s only non working day in term time) but we love having people over for Sunday lunch!

I’m a single parent but have no kids every other weekend and I do find that people tend to do ‘family time’ at weekends so it can be a bit lonely. I usually plan an adventure run for the Sundays my kids are away, getting up early and driving somewhere new to explore new trails with my dogs for company!

If I were single without kids I would:

Get some cleaning and chores in the morning. Go for a walk. Have a nap. Watch a film. Make something yummy for an early diinner. Have a big bath, clean sheets. An early night with a good book and a cup of tea.

Spend time with dh and ds, see mum and maybe my sister, chill, shop, cook a roast, read, relax!

Lots of towns have park yoga on a Sunday morning, find them on FB. Free, very mixed ability and a lovely way to start your day.

Today was typical Sunday here (2 DC, single)

7am up, shower etc, tidy bedrooms, pancake breakfast, decent tidy up everywhere, vacuum, clean bathrooms, couple loads of laundry, mowed lawn, played a new card game with the DC, got homework done, roast dinner, clean up (again!), cleaned downstairs windows, park for a couple of hours, laundry away, chucked DC in shower after a quick tea, uniforms and lunchboxes for tomorrow, DC to bed, I’ve read for an hour or so then come to bed.

I’m very tired!

I used to dread Sundays too and found the best way was to get busy.

Without DC I’d be setting myself goals a and projects too I think; get fitter, see more of the country; join some clubs; get really good at something.

Lie in a little. Read. Plan for the coming week and mark books. Sort washing and clean kitchen. Pick son up from one job and deliver him to his other job. Play Farmville (guilty pleasure!) and watch something on Netflix. Walk the dogs. Cook. Tidy. Go out for lunch or dinner with a friend.

Usually horses,sheep,lambs and food take care of Sundays. After dark Netflix.

DH has a job that means he’s often away at weekends for most of the year, so there’s no family routine as such. Today I climbed a mountain with a friend, his child, my child, and another friend’s children, then came home and had dinner with DS and returned DH.

Church and chill - although with young children, husband and I take turns to relax while the other watches the kids.

If at home, as above… church and chill. We are away this weekend so it has been chill and the pub.
