This is one of those weeks. I already plan on many reality tv shows and movies. Junk food and just vegging out after dS goes down each night :) Cherrybee on "If your SO is gone for the night..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-is-gone-for-the-night#post-2080376 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 02:14:07 +0000 Cherrybee 2080376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I go to bed really early and enjoy being able to go to sleep straight away without having to suffer DH reading in bed until *he's* ready to turn the light off. Bliss.

I usually stay up too late catching up on my DVR shows.

It so rarely happens, though!

If it is multiple nights I will usually spend one night doing a bunch of extra cleaning to catch up. californiadreams on "If your SO is gone for the night..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-is-gone-for-the-night#post-2080317 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 23:15:55 +0000 californiadreams 2080317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He is never gone overnight but if he is working late I will watch my girly shows and veg. blackbird on "If your SO is gone for the night..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-is-gone-for-the-night#post-2080312 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 23:08:31 +0000 blackbird 2080312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do what I want!

I am so glad I'm not the only one who does this. (Laptop on the toilet FTW!) I mean, sometimes, I just don't have the energy to read a book, even in the bathtub. :) dolphin on "If your SO is gone for the night..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-is-gone-for-the-night#post-2080297 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 22:53:14 +0000 dolphin 2080297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm so tired when I solo parent that any tv time I get is a treat! apis on "If your SO is gone for the night..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-is-gone-for-the-night#post-2080296 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 22:53:04 +0000 apis 2080296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ On the rare occasions DW is away overnight for work, my "treat" is to speed-watch bad movies (fast-forwarding through the boring bits), and then get to bed earlier than usual as it's always a safe bet that DS will decide to wake up incredibly early the next morning. And there is the strong possibility that delivery pizza will be on the dinner menu. A short dinner menu. That contains the word "pizza."

Only difference if he's gone overnight is I bring J to preschool. I never do drop off. autumnlove on "If your SO is gone for the night..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-is-gone-for-the-night#post-2080001 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 18:40:29 +0000 autumnlove 2080001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Veg, watch TV, clean and sleep early.

Oh, and I let our dog sleep on the bed when dh is gone. Poor pup is going to be so sad when he gets the boot tomorrow :silly: Rainbow Sprinkles on "If your SO is gone for the night..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-is-gone-for-the-night#post-2079973 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 18:26:16 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2079973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I treat it like a normal night! put the girls down, then snack and watch tv, or catch up on work and emails. It's also a good time to fold laundry!

Last night I had a bath while I watched Netflix and drank wine. It was so lovely I'm probably going to do it again tonight! I'm fancy and prop the laptop up on the toilet to watch ;) sorrycharlie on "If your SO is gone for the night..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-is-gone-for-the-night#post-2079969 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 18:24:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 2079969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I veg!

DH is gone for the night which is very rare, but I'll spend it like a lot of nights and relax with TV and snacks. I thought about being productive once the girls go down but that doesn't sound fun :silly: If your SO is gone for the night (overnight) or for a weekend how do you spend the time to yourself? Is it like any other normal night or do you treat yourself to something special for surviving solo parenting?
