What are you doing to make the weekend feel different to other days?

[MsJaneAusten]

Just that really.

I’ve just had a lunchtime bath and opened the wine.

Not doing PE with Joe Wicks first thing as we have been in the week.

Had a lovely breakfast. I nomally fast in the mornings so this was a real treat.
Binge watched "A Place To Call Home" episodes. The kids had free access to screens.
About to have a bath and nice lunch.
Then will go on a walk to break up the afternoon with the dog and family.
Then will wait until I can drink wine and maybe potter

More booze.

DH isn’t working

Not working. Not doing PE with Joe Wicks. Allowing my child to freely watch their tablet.

No schoolwork, no routine, no work for DH.

Sundays we participate in virtual church services - our local church here and also our old church in the US.

Easter break will be the same and I actually think it’ll be harder because the kids will be bored with nothing much to do and nowhere to go

Stay in bed scrolling the internet rather than wfh 😂. And feel not guilty.

I’m not working

No routine, not sitting at my desk all day, no schoolwork for DD. No timetable.

We had a lie in until 10.30, DD9 is a lazybones :) then did painting and made biscuits instead of English/maths which is normal weekday morning routine. No work for me so no Teams calls or work on laptop.

No school work, no WAH (or trying to) for us. Otherwise the same.

Not checking work emails.

Been working from home for a fortnight. Close work laptop around 17.30 on Friday, don't open it again til Monday.

Just like a proper holiday.

Not work.

Not working.

Get up an hour earlier to fit my exercise walk in before the families are about, guessing a sunny weekend will still be busier in the park.

I'm not exercising, I'm still in bed and the dcs can do what they like today

Lie in. No kitchen table. Unlimited iPad time.

Not trying to do my job and teach my dc

No school work, no Joe Wicks, DP who is wfh during is currently pottering around his man cave at the bottom of the garden. I’m about to make a coffee and walnut cake for his birthday.

Not work, same as all the other weeks!

Working less

Yes to booze! Plus a few video calls to friends instead of work colleagues....

No homeschooling, no WFH, no checking my work emails like I normally do at the weekend. The DC can do whatever they like.

Which so far means that the DC have watched TV all day and I got up at 12. The broadband isn’t working again for the 3rd time in a week (5 days out of 8) so no Netflix :(

You’re all reassuring me! I felt like I should be getting the DC off their screens. Now I’m going to stick my PJs on and rewatch Fleabag.

Not work. Same as always.

We haven’t left the sofa all day OP. We are watching a TV show marathon and only getting up to grab snacks from the kitchen - not even making meals today - just grazing all day long. Plenty of other things to care about right now. Screens, snacks and downtime is exactly what we all need.
