To take myself off for a gastropub dinner and leave teens at home?

[user1469565563]

Ugh, single mum, had it up to here with teens and arguments, ebsa, school meetings, housework, the lot. Kids are 17 and 18. Im done. They can sort their own dinner tonight!! Maybe I'll do this every fortnight???

Honestly at those ages they’ll be fine.

17 and 18, perfectly capable of getting themselves some dinner.
Go out and be cooked for and have some space!

Honestly at those ages they’ll be fine.

I should hope so. Something has gone badly wrong if a 17 and 18yo can't look after themselves for an evening.

Your kids aren’t even kids, off to the pub you go!

Fuck me, this is exactly what I was thinking! 🤣

You don't have to ask Mumsnet OP, you're a grown woman with two very nearly adult teens.

I’d be on a plane to Faliraki

Enjoy your quiet tea. Glass of wine or two? Or a big pudding to make the night last longer.

Mine probably wouldn't even notice if gone out if I did this 🤣

Fortnightly is not often enough!

Go every week, at least

Why have you got EBSA and school meetings with teens of that age?

Kids??? An 18 year old isn’t a kid…

Haha, I love these responses! I wasn't asking for permission as such, just venting. Im about to order second glass of wine with my harissa chicken and 2 sides. Cheers!!

Chicken kyev, glass of pinot, chocolate cheesecake with double cream
Do it!!
