This website is called Mumsnet and you can tell by the name there's mums. So what are kids up to

Both visiting their 94 yr old Granny 🤗

16 year old has just made tomato soup from scratch and called their 13yo brother to come and get some.

I’ve got a schizophrenic 27 year old she’s probably at work, she has a part time shop job, she hasn’t spoken to me for 7 years.
My 21 year old is a police woman but she’s on holiday in Marbella atm, she’s bought me a fake Rolex today and face timed me to choose it 🙂, and then 10 year old son on his play station upstairs with his friend 🙂

Mine is stuck in an adrenaline stupor from being in a serious car accident this morning and prepping to go back to his RAF base 🙁

Eating pears in the garden with one looking suspiciously like she's going to run the wrong way up the slide.

Thirteen year old. Playing in a football match.

One is climbing Mt Everest. The other is snoozing next to me and just unleashed a hellish fart of eye-watering proportions. The other is eating a large salad - so I guess another fart is just around the corner. lol!

You never know, there may also be farts up Everest

13 year old at his volunteering place for Scouts and my 7 year old is playing toys with his dad

Minimalistmamaoftwo · 19/05/2025 18:16

Both at the beach with their daddy while I wash up 😂

Firawla · 19/05/2025 18:16

One at brownies, one at the gym, one waiting for English tutor to arrive and one not home from college yet

Pottedpalm · 19/05/2025 18:17

DS is bathing his toddler and DD is feeding her 4 month old. Happy days!

helpmeCalifornia · 19/05/2025 18:17

Hanging upside down off the armchair rehearsing her ‘bin-nastics’ - she’s going to do a show for us shortly apparently. From what I can tell it’s just mostly hanging upside down and then waving a wand from her dressing up stuff around whilst singing the wrong words to Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift.

Very puzzled by the OP. The thread title makes sense. But why do you want to know what the kids are up to?

Perimenopausalmanicmum · 19/05/2025 18:22

#1 is on the sofa play fighting with her partner and son
#2 is sat in the living room floor on his phone moaning that my niece is kicking him (my son is 20 and my niece is 17)
#3 is at her friends house away from the chaos that is home.

Taytayslayslay · 19/05/2025 18:42

1 is watching Minecraft movie in his room (out today for digital release lol)
2 is watching Minecraft movie in her room because they bicker too much to watch together 🤣

Lovemeapickledgherkin · 19/05/2025 18:46

Youngest watching The Walking Dead with me 😁. Middle at university. Oldest gaming with friends

My baby is napping in my arms and will now sleep until I wake her to feed at 10pm. My four year old is having a bath under the aegis of his dad, and will shortly have a story then bed.

Calmdownpeople · 19/05/2025 18:51

Football training and the other is at an international football camp for his country.

SleepingStandingUp · 19/05/2025 18:51

Eating tea. We're running late

wlv12 · 19/05/2025 18:53

One is doing GCSE revision, the other is reading.

Mightyhike · 19/05/2025 18:54

DS1 is away at uni so no idea
DD is doing her homework
DS2 is playing cricket

Goldrill · 19/05/2025 19:05

DD2 is getting changed after swim training; sincerely hope she is not washing her hair or I may leave her here.
DD1 appears to be on netflix and straightening her hair while doing physics revision.

Wouldprefertobereading · 19/05/2025 19:08

That was a lovely thread, a tiny window into normal life.. mine are in their 30’s and career oriented men living many miles away. You forget what it’s like to live with little people and young adults. A comforting reminder😊.

Jumpers4goalposts · 19/05/2025 19:12

#1 is in a dance class
#2 is in a diving lesson

Cabbagefamily · 19/05/2025 19:24
