Over-30s have been telling youngsters what they get up to at weekends and it really is nothing to be afraid of (well, mostly) – 17 thirtysomething downtimes

When you’re a young adult, weekends are all about going out, meeting friends, and struggling with a mercifully short hangover the next day. Not every young adult, obviously, but quite a few of them.

Things change when you get to your 30s though. Getting wasted no longer appeals, but what do you get up to instead? MainDifficult2641 was curious to find out how this mysterious demographic spends its time, so they threw this question out to the good people of r/AskReddit:
