I'm on an every other week rotation. Do stuff one weekend, stay the fuck in the next, etc. The holidays always throw this plan haywire though, pretty much booked from early Nov until Feb.

Staying in on the weekend
- Thread starter ExhaustedWalrus

A busy weekend after a long work week is the worst.
Having no place to go on the weekend after a work week is the best.
Although my body and mind self-regulate - they usually tell me when I have to get outside for a bit when I'm sitting inside too long during the weekend.
But no, I don't feel the slightest bit guilty when I stay in for the weekend.

Hell no I don't feel bad. I make it a point to get up early Saturday mornings and run my errands so I can be back home by 11 or 12 and spend the rest of the weekend at home watching movies with my wife, catching up on games, whatever. I don't give a fuck what it is, as long as I'm at home.
I love weekends staying in. Wife does as well.
We often both have to do some work, but otherwise we get a good mix of alone time--usually gaming for me and TV shows for her--and hanging out in the evenings.
Though I suppose we do usually go out at least once most weekends though. Often walking somewhere for brunch or dinner. And of course some times are meeting up with friends or going to concerts/sporting events/movies etc. But we definitely stay in more than we did when we were younger.

other than the occasional instance where i'll meet someone for coffee or lunch, i spend every weekend at home.
The older you get the more you appreciate the small downtime on weekends or vacations. It was nice just staying home today and just relaxing and cooking. No stress, just full decompression time.
I'm staying in because I have to do homework. But back when I was working, I would enjoy staying in, wearing my pjs, playing video games, and hanging out with my partner. I'm happy if i don't have to go outside. (Which probably makes it a waste to live in NYC...)
I like to get out when I'm in the mood, but I mostly prefer to stay in on the weekends, especially in the winter. There's a nice little balance to be struck in there. Sure, go out, be social, have fun. But if you find yourself back at work on Monday thinking to yourself "I regret making plans to be busy from 5pm Friday through 10pm Sunday", you should probably make time to enjoy some down time for yourself. Having a "nothing" day every now and again is absolutely wonderful and I cannot imagine how people function without them.
Depends on what I'm doing.
Most of my computer/gaming/netflix time already happens after work so if I spend my weekend doing the same it feels a waste as I've been doing that for years.
Doing something different is what I want out of my weekends. ofc I still need my off weekends where I just lounge around all day but I feel they need to be deserved - huge week at work, frantic last couple weekends etc.

Damn that sounds like the perfect life honestly
Why oh why did I break up with my ex
I almost always stay in on the weekends. I use the extra time for vacuuming, doing laundry, making more complex food than on the weekdays, watching movies and playing games. Or visit my parents or have them visit me.
I love it.
I love it.
Most of my collegues love stay in weekend as well, so I'm in good company.
I love staying in combined with a lunch or a drink in the town center.

Yeah sometimes I do feel guilty due staying in all weekend. I talk to the public all week so I can get extroverted some times on the weekend. But it balances out ;went to the city two weekends ago and saw sheer madness, aquarium, and art museum.
Plus it's February now up north. Prime video-game, movies, chores, and reading weather
Plus most of my local old time friends are always drinking and I fell off that train about 8 years ago. Today's the super bowl and I took tomorrow off so I'll probably get loaded tonight
