It’s been a month since the schools started here in England – and it can be a big adjustment if your children are going to school for the first time this academic year. If you’re a stay-at-home mother or father, you’ll suddenly have much more free time than ever. Your children are no longer at home all day, as they’re off learning vital life skills. So, how should you use this newfound time? A healthy balance between educational or healthy activities and some “brainrot” like an offshore casino can really help to pass the time and keep the mind active!

Learn a Language

Are you going on holiday next year? If it’s an overseas venture, then the locals might not speak English. Now that you have several hours of the day, why not dedicate time to learning a new language for your travel plans? The locals typically warm to you if you can speak just a little Spanish when visiting Spain. Or you could learn a language that will give you a better understanding of foreign media, i.e. if you knew Japanese, you’d be able to watch anime without subtitles.

Online Casinos and Gambling

Have you ever been interested in casinos or online gambling? Well, now might be your chance to play on them without distractions! Many online platforms await your custom, where you can play many online games and maybe even win some money.

Remember, however, that you’re supposed to be a responsible adult as a parent. For instance i made extra cash playing on offshore casino sites in my free time, but I’ve also lost money at times as well so it’s super important to have your limits and refuse to budge from them, even when it feels tempting to chase any losses. 

Take up Art

One problem with modern society is that people often do not express their creativity. Instead of glued to your phone all day, why not embrace your creativity by making tangible artwork? Whether it is drawing, painting, photography, or another form, anything can help you express yourself—which can also help your mental health.

Pick Up Some Books, Again

Given that your children will no doubt be thumbing through many books as part of their education, why not delve into your literature adventure? Reading can be an entertaining pastime and broadening your mind – something that can’t always be achieved by endlessly scrolling social media.

Begin Writing

Another creative outlet is putting pen to paper or finger to keypad, also known as writing. The written word lends itself to endless possibilities; you can write about your day (to help express your feelings) in a diary, poetry, fictional stories, and match reports, which allows you to express your creativity.

Start Running

Now that you’ve got some more time on your hands, running is a terrific pastime that is both accessible and healthy. As you have an elongated time while your children are at school, you can go for the long run, which can help you with your mental and physical health. You can always start with a tiny jog before maybe even taking on a longer run like a marathon. You may even be able to lose some weight by doing this.

Play Video Games

It could be that you used to be a massive gamer and then… had children to look after. While they can be delightful and help mankind to continue to exist, they will monopolise your time – meaning that you will have less to play on your game console. Well now that they are out of the house, why not pick up the controller – and start playing again? Of course, it is probable that your children like video games, so see if you can beat their high score or delete their game save if they’ve been mischievous! They’ll never misbehave again!

Improve the House

If you intend on spending more time in the house (as opposed to activities that take you outside) then it could be a good idea to make your house more comfortable. Depending on your current setup and style, this could range from painting a wall a different colour, getting a new sofa or anything that makes you feel more at one with your surroundings.

Get Better at Cooking

Now that you have some uninterrupted time each day, you could probably spend that time in the kitchen. Let’s face it, as a parent, you have to feed your children – so why not give them something delicious? Your newfound time can spent learning recipes and mastering specific techniques. Of course, you can do this for yourself as well. Some children prefer fish fingers anyway.
