Do moms ever get a weekend or a night off?
Do moms ever get a weekend or a night off?
Now that you're a parent or pregnant, Friday nights may look a little different than your pre-baby days. We asked moms in the mom.life app to describe their typical weekend night. Here are the eight favorite things moms love to do come Friday night 🎉👠
➡️ 1. Netflix & Chill
“Since being pregnant, especially the end of the 2nd trimester and into the third, we've just been Netflix and chilling. My belly is so heavy now and I get so tired that it's just more enjoyable for us right now to just hang. My favorite thing is just relaxing with the hubs and watching our favorite shows, we sometimes play some cards while we watch (: “
“Cuddle up with my little guy and binge watch movies on demand or Netflix or if we do go out I go somewhere kid friendly that we can both enjoy.”
➡️ 2. Sleep
“My evenings and weekends after my LO is down for the night are chill. I usually go to bed like an hour after him just to get some decent sleep! cleaning, sterilizing, prepping for the next day.”
“Sleep...I don't have to work on Saturday or Sunday. Then a big homemade breakfast on Saturday.”
“Sometimes, when I'm feeling reeeeally wild and crazy, I'll pump a bottle, hand my sweet baby over to her daddy for some snuggle time, and take myself a nice looooong nap 😋”
➡️ 3. Take baby out!
“We actually went out more with friends and brought my son with. Our friends are all couples and my best friend always likes to see my son. Our friends look up to us and like to get together and ask for marriage/relationship advice.”
➡️ 4. Designated driver
“Me and the boyfriend still go out with our friends, they just have the world's most sober driver for 9 months😂”
➡️ 5. Bring on the comfort food
"Sitting at home eating pizza sounds wonderful lol"
➡️ 6. Date night in or out
“We go out with friends or family but we also stay in and spend time together. I think it is very important to still have a bit of a social life and always make time for you and your spouse!!”
“We wait till the kids are in bed, then cuddle up and watch a movie and eat candy! 😂”
“I already have a 4-year-old, and I'm about to have my second baby......so weekends out are VERY rare. When my hubby and I do get them, we either go see a movie, go out to eat, or just stay home and play video games together. It's all about finding something you enjoy doing that isn't stressful but that you can also just enjoy each other's company.”
➡️ 7. Quality playtime with the kids
“I honestly don't go out with my husband. I’d rather stay home with our daughter. We play with her little kitchen and dress her baby dolls up. I dance silly with my daughter when music comes on and she tries to dance too. We watch TV shows or movies on Netflix and or Hulu too and of course have some popcorn. My daughter goes crazy over popcorn.”
"Have a fire and roast marshmallows and watch the kids play on the play system.”
➡️ 8. Crafting
“I was very social. But nowadays I'm knitting and watching Star Trek with my husband... Never did any of these things before. In fact, never have looked forward to the Autumn now it's slowly approaching.”

There are a lot of different types of things we all do together! 1. Start of the week on Friday Evening with dinner at home together while witching movies. 2. If we go out it's always some where kids friend. 3. I can't drink dew to the fact I breakfast. My husband does like drinking much anymore other. If he does it's not many. 4. We might go to Birthday party wedding and think because almost everyone of our couple friends have kids too. 5. Try to release and rest as much as possible on Sunday. 6. Always sleep as much as possible to get ready for a busy week. For me with two kids. For him it's trying to rest up for the week ahead. He has a hard job Mon.- Fri. 40 hours a week sometime Saturday too. So some work weeks or long then others.

Absolutely nothing but spending the whole day & night with my little boy 😊 Daddy works three jobs currently and is hardly home. Our second vehicle is messed up so we stay home. Clean, play, watch Thomas the Train 😂
