I mean, like, other than clean up, shower, and watch TV? We are so wiped by days end, that by the time the kids are in bed, dinner is cleaned up, and I shower....I just collapse on the couch. I see people posting pictures of them crafting, working, etc in the evening....and....I just can't. Anyone else a sloth after bed time like me?
-
Same as you. Clean the kitchen, shower and lay around. I always have grand ambitions but they are gone by dinner lol
-
Not really. Sometimes I work on easy crafts but only if they can be done from my couch! Generally complete sloth mode though.
-
Same. By the time we clean up, pack lunches, wash dishes, maybe pay some bills, fold laundry or whatever... it's time for bed. I don't get how people have time for more, either.
Edit: I do usually spend about 30 minutes laying on the couch. It's my only down time!
-
I usually sew or read. But lately, I am too wiped and I just lay on the couch.
-
It is 50/50. If I get everything done before LO goes to bed I just crash. Tonight I happen to be going back to work for third shift. That is maybe just once every couple of months.
-
I don't have the energy to do anything other than read. I used to sew and really miss doing that, but don't have the energy to do it during the week.
-
I'm trying to motivate myself to go take out my contacts and wash my face. There isn't anything happening over here
-
<raises hand>
If we are being honest, I'm lucky if I get some laundry folded. After I get the kids to bed, tidy up from dinner/playtime, make sure lunches are packed and good to go for the next day, mail is opened/sorted, bills are paid.....it's all I can do to collapse on the sofa and mess around on my laptop, maybe read a little bit on a good night!
I have all these fantasies in which I finally finish embroidering DD2's Christmas stocking, make the girls new duvet covers, and craft a set of baby headbands for a friend. I used to do all those sorts of things in the evening after work pre-kids, even while I was pregnant with DD1. These days? just, NOPE!
-
We have one LO with an early bedtime, so we have about 3-4 hours between when he goes to bed and we do. We always make & eat adult dinner, clean the kitchen, pack lunch, watch TV/drink wine. DH usually also works (usually about an hour/night) and I either exercise, shop online, read, or very occasionally work. Maybe once a month we'll do some sort of a house project (hanging pictures, touching up paint) - I think tomorrow night we are going to install some new pendant lights in our kitchen.
-
I don't but DH is a night owl and he will often do a smaller, quiet DIY house project or just clean. I'm up earlier than everyone so I will often load the dishwasher or the washing machine and set them to delay start so the noise doesn't wake anyone up. Both LO's rooms are off the laundry room, which is next to our kitchen.
-
Do drinking wine and eating chocolate count?
Yeah, we clean up the kitchen and then crash on the couch. I do sort of household thing that need to be done on the computer like meal planning or making a grocery list for tne next day or maybe fold laundry, but that's usually it.
-
I eat cookies and pack for work and daycare to next day and shower.
-
Between my husband and I we wash the day's cups, pack LO's lunch for daycare the next day and mine for work, and manage our pets (feed, meds, some wound care). We often eat dinner after she goes to bed. Also a few nights/week I do log on to work remotely for an hour or two.
-
Normally I finish cleaning up and then watch tv/go online. I *sometimes* workout but I've been so lazy lately. Other nights I shower and wash/blow dry my hair then go to sleep!
-
I sometimes work, but usually I just eat ice cream drink wine and go to sleep lol.
-
Very rarely. Although I've learned if I lay down on the couch I'm not getting up, so if I want to do something productive I'll do it as soon as dd goes to sleep.
-
Yes of course...I drink wine and eat crackers.
-
We pretty much go ahead with the exact same weeknight evening we used to have pre-kids, but that's pretty lazy. I cook dinner, we eat, DH cleans up, and we watch shows together until bedtime.
-
I pump, usually power pump. Sometimes I work on lesson planning but most times just catch up online and with shows.
-
I've been diligently working on a quart of ice cream the last couple of nights...
-
I work on my papers for school after my daughter goes to bed, but not by choice. Its the only uninterrupted time I can get lately. I try to keep up with dishes and cleaning up throughout the day when my daughterr is eating in her high chair or ill put her in the pack amd play for 30 minutes in front of the tv so I can catch up.
Only 2 more classes until I graduate and then I will go back to being lazy on the couch!
-
Oh, gosh not really.
All we have time for is cleaning up the kitchen, getting DH lunch for tomorrow and often folding some laundry. Then we get ready for bed and we each can usually read a little bit on our phones or watch one show if we're really really lucky. But I fall asleep as soon as I stop doing stuff. LOL!
-
It's my "busy" season, so I've been working. Like it's 10:15 and I just closed up my laptop for the night. Two hours later
-
Netflix and chill with myself.
-
I fold laundry sometimes but usually during nap.
-
Clean, snack, surf the internet, watch TV and craft!
-
Clean up, work a few nights a week, read or color. Sometimes we watch a movie.
-
Usually not much.
Tonight I finished painting the kitchen, removed everything from the entry way ( new floors are getting finished tomorrow) packed all the shoes up from summer. Then I organized my closet and posted some stuff for sale. I feel productive tonight. -
I work after my kids go to bed (+ drink wine). I'm swamped right now so I've been working til 1 am several nights a week.
Good thing work only involves me sitting at my computer and typing, so I do it while eating shitty (amazing) food and drinking.
-
Most days I just collapse on the couch. Sometimes I'll read or crochet while watching TV. If work is crazy and something has to be finished I'll bring my laptop to the couch. (As a business consultant I learnt how to work on a bed or couch a loooong time ago since in hotel rooms you don't always have an adequate desk space).
-
I work after my kids are in bed, sometimes practice, have grand ambitions of finishing painting the living room.... but other than the nights I'm working we usually just crash. We have game night with friends once a week after the kids are in bed too.
-
Clean up, maybe shower and start some laundry, do something productive on the computer (pay bills, order diapers), and watch TV. I used to be such a night owl and now I can't get anything done after dinner.
-
I don't do anything lately. Last night I walked from LOs room after putting him to bed and fell asleep immediately (8:10pm!) but I have a teething eight-month-old and have a cold. Usually we just hang out and watch TV or play on our phones. Not even usually clean up. One of us does that right after dinner while the other one starts baths.
-
I don't even get to the showering or watching tv most of the time. I collapse right after the kids go to bed!
-
Only thing I do after the kitchen clean up is look on my IPad for a little and I'm usually in bed between 9 and 9:30.
-
Def not since lo's bedtime has gotten later, I usually just crash. Sometimes I dont even have the energy for a short show. I should do more work....
-
I work if I have to. My boss says "work after the kid goes to bed" like it's no big deal. What I want to do and what I usually do is shower and relax, maybe straighten up a little. I'm 10 weeks pregnant right now so I pretty much just get in bed. I did go through a stretch in the spring where I would exercise, it was great but I'm so tired now.
-
@winniebee: this is too funny
my son helps with dishes/clearing the table
and i do the bottle stuff immediately when i get homei don't do laundry alone much anymore either.
once they are in bed here are the things i may do
just shower and sleep
just sleep
internet and sleep
reading and/or practice questions and sleep
and lately i am journaling, doing some destress work, then sleepi wish i would/could go running at that point but i'm just too paranoid that they aren't really asleep enough.
i don't craft anymore. and lunches i pack are just leftover dinner, so that happens before bedtime
-
my kids go to bed so late since they don't have regular school (10:30-11pm), I often pass out with them!
All we have time for is cleaning up the kitchen, getting DH lunch for tomorrow and often folding some laundry. Then we get ready for bed and we each can usually read a little bit on our phones or watch one show if we're really really lucky. But I fall asleep as soon as I stop doing stuff. LOL!
