What Moms Actually Do When They Say They’re “Going to Bed”

What happens when a mom says she’s going to bed? Well, she doesn’t actually go to bed until hours later. 

There are so many things on her to-do list that, for one reason or another, didn’t get done during the day.

1.  Clean

Let’s face it, cleaning is impossible with kids around. The only chance you have to clean and actually admire your spotless house is after bedtime.

2.  Do Dishes

It’s inevitable, by the end of the night your sink is a mess full of disgusting dishes.

3.  Laundry

Do your kids change clothes a million times a day? I bet all their clothes are mixed up so you can’t even tell clean from dirty. Your only choice is to wash everything. 

Most likely, you’ll pass out and forget about the clothes once they’re in the dryer.

4.  Watch TV/Netflix/YouTube

Because it’s the only time you’re not forced to watch a children’s show or movie on repeat.

5.  Eat Snacks in Peace

We get tired of sharing our food all day long. What’s the shame in hiding our favorite treat until after the kids go to bed?

6.  Browse Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat/Etc.

There’s not enough time in the day to keep up with our kids, let alone family and friends. Social media keeps us connected once the day is done.
