Lyndsey The secret society late night mom club, where binging anything is acceptable, snacks are a must, and responsibility is optional!
Let’s talk about the secret society late night mom club that no one talks about! Somehow, this is not discussed, not titled, unidentified, but commonly known to every mom. I have decided to give it a title, and it’s now called the secret society late night mom club! It’s a long title, but it’s fitting.
You can pretend you don’t know what I am referencing, but deep inside you know you do.
You have put the kids to bed, you’ve taken care of dinner, you’ve had your fill of stimulation for the day and now it’s time to relax. You know you need to go to bed, because the kids will be up early, or you have to be up for work. It doesn’t matter though, because this time, this late night time, is the one chance to relax that you have.

Why do we stay up too late?
As moms, we spend our entire day attending to the needs of everyone else but ourselves. We are overstimulated, our anxiety is on high, we are stressed out and tired. At the end of the day we are tired of talking, socializing, being responsible, and being “on”. Once the entire house is in bed, it’s time to relax.
This is the time that we get completely to ourselves. Late at night is when we don’t need to be responsible for anything. We can take our time to ourselves and spend it as we dang please!
No 35 mom’s in 1 minute, no questions that are brain racking and incomprehensible, no more why’s, no arguments, no backtalk, no questions from your husband when you’re already mentally drained. THIS TIME IS OURS.
Should we stay up late? Well… that’s debatable, but it’s going to happen anyways.
So what is this secret society all about?
Essentially, the secret society late night mom club is all about binging anything that seems desirable. This could be snacks, TV shows, movies, social media scrolling, reading books. It doesn’t matter what it is, if you are able to binge it, it’s likely included in this list.
This is the mindless, non-verbal, entirely consuming relaxation of not having to thing about a SINGLE. DANG. THING.
Leave reason, rational and responsibility at the door when you enter this club.
So please, join me for this secret society late night mom club. Everyone say it with me…
“I stay up late for ‘me time’ so I can regret it the next day!”
