It's amazing isn't it, how far that half hour goes when you don't have toys and shite all over the house!I had a lie in, went to get my eyebrows waxed, did my mums nails and then my boyfriend and I had a power half hour of cleaning the house together. Now we're chilling infront of the TV for the rest of the day
Yeah I was kind of lonely when I was a kid of like 10 because my mum and dad just did their own thing on the weekends (reading the paper, at home spa treatments). I was in the house safe and fed and cared for, but I wasn’t stimulated. I used to sit in my room feeling depressed and looking at pics of models prettier than me etc which was so toxicHaving a break from cleaning. Husband is watching football and I'm doing some crafting while listening to an audiobook.
I think these are the things I would miss most if I had a kid. Just being able to switch off and do whatever I want and not having to be responsible for another person and keeping them alive.
yes to this it makes it even more normal to chill out for the weekend.I love how many other non-parents just chill out and do nothing much on a weekend. I did my housework yesterday lunchtime so I wouldn't have to do any of it today, that's the beauty of having a small house and no kid stuff! Watched that Stacey Solomon tidying programme earlier, OH and I both just horrified at the amount of toys and clothes those people have...
Our fake tree is still up tooWe had a lie in until about 11. Intially we wanted to take down the Christmas tree but then thought: "Fuck it. It will last another week."So I had a 3 hour nap instead than we made dinner and did some laundry. Had a nice long bath and now I'm hanging out on the sofa reading tattle. Probably will be doing this until 2am. Then off to bed.
Ours is real and still going strong in its 6th weekWe've had a lovely Saturday. I got up, took the dog out and husband had a little lie in. We then relaxed and had our coffee then popped out to do a few errands. Came back home, he's doing financial stuff and I did some cleaning and laundry. We had homemade pierogis for dinner!
Tomorrow we are out for brunch with some friends and then we are making a roast

Our fake tree is still up too. Love having the lights on at night
I would take a bloke snorting to 3 very young babies who tag teamed to scream for 11 hours on a flight I had home recently. I add this was in business.We are going on a ski holiday todayNo kids on the plane but a bloke snorting every 2 seconds can’t win lol
i’m going to email my boss tomorrow and say i need to finish at 3 every day because my little tummy can’t wait for my little body to drive us home any later than that.Saw this on LinkedIn earlier, wish I had the privilege of saying “it’s 4:30 no more meetings please I’ve got stuff to do”.
