Parents are really enjoying the little bit of freedom that comes from having someone else be responsible for their kids for a few hours every day.

According to a new survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Mixbook, here are the top eight things parents love doing after their kids finally go back to school:

  1. Watching the TV shows and movies that THEY want to watch.
  2. Planning a weekend trip with just their significant other and no kids.
  3. Organizing summer vacation pictures and making a photo book. (This survey was by a photo book company, which is why this random thing that people don't actually care about managed to rank so high.)
  4. Going to a spa.
  5. Catching up with friends and family members.
  6. Exercising.
  7. Taking walks outside.
  8. Having a nice, long meal without the kids.
