What Friday Night Is Like For a Stay-at-Home Mom
In the beginning of my time as a stay-at-home mom, my husband and I had a very hard time adjusting to Friday nights. He was excited to be done with a grueling workweek, while I felt like I was living in the movie Groundhog Day and Friday was no different from any other day. See, it's not that we don't enjoy the weekends, it's just that for a mama who's at home all day (all week!) with the kids, Fridays aren't what they used be. Source: Flickr user Chase Reeves

But you move on because you're just ready for the kids to go to bed.

Once they're in bed, you try to relax in front of the TV, even though there's nothing good on.

You try Dateline, but it makes you oddly suspicious of your spouse.
And just as you're about to fire up Facebook . . .

Your husband is all, "I have a better idea."

Except you're all . . .

Because sleeping in on Saturday ended the day you brought that baby home.
