It makes me a much happier mama. She helps me clean the kitchen, do the dishes, etc. so that when she goes to bed, I can just veg out for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-kids-are-in-bed#post-2338464 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 10:03:07 +0000 DillonLion 2338464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually go to bed one hour after LO is down, so not much. We usually do all the required evening chores while LO is still up (one of us does bath/bedtime and the other does the dishes and whatnot). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-kids-are-in-bed#post-2338379 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 09:43:34 +0000 snowjewelz 2338379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clean up the kitchen, do other chores, then prep/pack for the next day. And then finally relax for a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-kids-are-in-bed#post-2338361 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 09:39:29 +0000 abmamma 2338361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes eat dinner (if we didn't eat with DD), finish cleaning up, watch tv, pump, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-kids-are-in-bed#post-2338345 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 09:36:20 +0000 yin 2338345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clean (usually just wash dishes) and relax on the couch for a bit with DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-kids-are-in-bed#post-2338251 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 08:54:07 +0000 buttermilk 2338251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fold laundry, glass of wine, catch up on a TV show! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-kids-are-in-bed#post-2338138 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 08:21:18 +0000 lovehoneybee 2338138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clean up, watch a bit of TV/browse the internet, prep what I can for dinner the next day, take a long shower, and sometimes read a bit before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-kids-are-in-bed#post-2338130 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 08:17:03 +0000 NovBaby1112 2338130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glass of wine, clean up toys/etc, wash pump parts, get Ready for bed, watch tv or just go to bed depending on what time it is </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-kids-are-in-bed#post-2338109 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 08:04:01 +0000 Ms maths 2338109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We take turns with clean-up (dishes, clean kitchen counters and dining room table, sweep kitchen and dining room) while the other person does some work (for work).

I am just too tired at night. And coffee makes all things possible.</p> <p>On the weekends, I will have wine after bedtime, especially if my husband is home and not working away, we will enjoy drinks on the front porch or just hang out together and have a nice bottle of wine. Or two :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-kids-are-in-bed#post-2337913 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 01:06:47 +0000 Boogs 2337913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Watch TV and have dessert lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-kids-are-in-bed#post-2337879 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 23:44:49 +0000 Mrs Panda 2337879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Catch up on HB, Facebook, etc, have a glass of wine, read, then to bed!
