Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is. Confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises.

What do you and your partner do after the kids have gone to bed? Collapse in a heap? Make an amazing adult meal? Wordlessly watch different TV shows? Have hot sex on the kitchen floor? Go the F to bed? 

This week we asked you about how you spend your evenings. And the answers varied from scandalous shower rendezvous, 'me time' to even just cosy moments on the couch. 

So is time apart from our partner something we should worry about? Or is it just want something that happens in this season of parenthood?

You told us.
