How do you spend your weekends?

[teh_oh]

Hi,


Just to share my typical weekends.

I am a Sahm, situation much better than Ftwm in this aspect.

I try to schedule visiting of In-Laws during the weekdays as we stay quite near to their place. Our usual schedule is one weekday visit after the children dismiss from school and one Saturday dinner.

Saturday morning is outing day (eg brunch/lunching out), afternoon let the child catch up on his outstanding work and evening dinner with In Laws and 'Games Night' (we play board games after dinner or child plays chess with grandparents).

Sundays morning, we will do some revision then leave for enrichment classes. After fetching my children from enrichment class, I will hang out at my mum's place while my husband chill out at the Ya Kun nearby or do some shopping (yes, he loves to shop to destress ). I'll try to schedule visiting my mum on weekdays too as and when my husband is convenient to fetch us so as to free up Sundays.

Week-ends are busy! The kids have music, football, swimming on the week-ends. We also have cellgroup meetings on Sat evenings and we head for church on Sunday mornings. Fortunately, most of these activities are near our home so we don’t have to spend all our time criss-crossing the island. We are often able to spend pockets of time resting at home. No homework etc. we just let the kids play.


As my mum and in laws come round to our place during the week, we aren’t obliged to meet up with them over the weekend. My parents used to try to get us to go back, but after countless times of me rejecting them (bad daughter!), they have given up asking! DH works really long hours, and we only have the week-ends as a family, so I don’t really want to spend it with my parents, especially since we already see my mum several times a week.

We always eat out. I used to cook over the week-ends, but DH would rather spend time with me than have me slaving in the kitchen. Or maybe it’s a hint that he doesn’t like my cooking!!!

currently for me, kids and i will go to my sis’s house for dinner on sat nite (to spend time with both my sisters and honestly i want to take a break from cooking and washing up).


sat and sun are free days for us except for ds who has chinese tuition at home on sat afternoon. but as dd has lots of homework, project, she prefers to stay at home and do them cum chat with her friends (london and local) on the internet.

ds will spread out his homework over the 2 days and he likes to swim and play with his toys. both my kids dont really like to go out that much.

if dh is around, he would prefer to stay at home too to relax and maybe pick a quarrel or two with dd (he’s neat and she’s messy accoding to their own standard).

sometimes we will meet friends but most of the time, we perfer to be on our own and be lazy. we can stay indoor for the whole 2 days and loving it.

My weekend is also filled with enrichment class... Sat piano in afternoon and swimming in evening. After dinner with friends as our kids are learning swimming together. Sun morning will be Chinese enrichment class follow by English... Evening will be back to my in-law place for dinner. As my own parent will visit us sometime in the weekday evening and cook for us, so don't have to go back liao.

My weekend is spent staying at home to rest and relax.At times, if not too tired, will try to dish out some nice meal.

Our Saturdays are spent either bringing my boy for swimming in the morning and then lunch outside, or just head out to the shopping centre for lunch, play at the indoor playground and then come back home!


Saturday evenings will drive out to tah-pau dinner and then eat at home.

Sunday mornings I will head out to church early in the morning and buy lunch back for everybody else. I would love to bring my boy to church when he is older. Hubby would go buy the week's groceries while I am out in the morning and then we all have lunch together. Sometimes my PILs will invite us for lunch or we would visit them in the evening for dinner.

As for my own parents, visit is only about once a month for my boy and hubby and about twice by myself mostly to check on my dad and make sure my mum and the maid are ok. We will also meet with my niece & nephew at my parent's place when we visit.

So far no weekend enrichment nor much homework for my boy, nor much relative obligations hence our weekends are quite free!

Saturday kids have music lessons. Sunday kids have arts and drama classes. Very busy zooming in & out.


The rest of the time is for housework like mopping & ironing.

We're anti-social on weekends

My weekends are for sleeping and getting up late.

We all spend time at home.
The feeling of everyone is at home is great even though each of us are doing different things at the same time.
Meals during weekends are at home, either cooked or takeaway.
We dislike going out on weekends due to the crowd.

I visit my pil once a month and my parent twice a month. The rest of the weekends are for housework, buy week’s groceries and etc.
