We started scheduling tons of activities after our daughter got diagnosed with sensory issues... the therapists all said that giving her tons of sensory experiences was key to her progress. Since hearing that, we usually end up doing too much and get wiped out... so we've been trying to scale things back a bit! It's tough because the kids love it when we go on big adventures regularly... it's us parents that get wiped out!
Ever feel like you do too much on weekends?

Not always, but we have a jam packed spring and summer. We haven't had a lazy weekend since March, and won't again until August!
I'm craving some do-nothing-down-time.

We try to keep it low key! It was a really busy weekend and I've tired - glad we don't do this much this often!

Ulgh yes evenings and weekends are busier than work at the moment! We bought our house thinking we had a long long time to do it up as we were a fair while ttc, then I fell pregnant after 2 months of moving in and we have to fix up the entire house with about another 3 months to go, plus I'm getting slower and less mobile as time goes on. Exhausting!

Yes!! Even if just errands, I feel like we hardly have time to chill.

We do a lot, but it's fun so it's not that tiring. I am a lot more tired during the week being solo with the girls and doing our normal routine! Weekends are more fun and easier with DH around.

@Andrea: yes again me too no joke!
The week kicks my butt as solo mom but having dh on the weekends is like lux.ur.y. We do tons of fun stuff and kinda go with the flow and I am exhausted but in a good way! Puts me in a good mood.

I don't like it when our weekends are jam packed. I need some down time.

YES!! I couldn't agree with this any more! The work week is always so busy, and then the weekend always flyby bc we have so much to do. It seems like we never have the chance to relax and/or get some much needed chores/projects done around the house!

Nope. We try not to jam-pack things. Yes, the little one needs to go out and do activities, but the adults work full-time and need to relax & catch up on errands we can't do during the week. I used to feel guilty about not planning so much for LO, but she has so many activities she does in child care during the week, so I don't stress anymore. I just make sure she has quality time with her Mommy and Daddy and she's content, whether that's out and about or at home relaxing.

Before we had DD we were always on the go. I don't mind because I can't sit still. Now that DD is here we are lucky to do one big thing per day (like grocery shopping). I can't wait until she's older and we can take her in adventures!

Yep. I love it at the time, but I'm always exhausted at the end of the weekend. We keep saying we need a lazy weekend but it just doesn't happen.

The last few weekends have been really busy and we were beginning to feel like you - so we had a quiet one this bank holiday weekend and, by Monday, E was a cranky mess!! She needs to be out and about - she's an adventure baby!

Some weekends yes, but other weekends I feel like we do too much of things we DON'T want to do instead of fun things as a family. I wish we could do more things away from the house that we have never done before.

Yeah some weekends def feel like that... So if I know we have some busy weekends ahead, I always try to just stay home and do nothing either before or after.
