My bachurim have night Seder in yeshiva on Motzai Shabbos . DH goes to the gym in the time between he drops them off in yeshiva and needs to pick them up. The younger kids get to watch a DVD if they did all their learning and chazarah on Shabbos.
Melave Malka is anywhere between omelettes and toast to Mac and cheese.
I'm sitting on the couch , chilling and may watch a movie after DH comes home and the kids are in bed.

We clean up after shabbos. Babies go to bed. The rest of kids chill out and then we eat melava malka.

Melava malka:
Scrambled eggs
Vegetable salad
Par baked rolls, bagels etc
Cream cheese, butter etc

Sometimes we make waffles or pizza.

Clean up and laundry, oldest goes to avos u bonim younger two get dinner, showers and a video. Once older comes home he has to shower tomorrow is a school day. After everyone is asleep I make myself milchigs like pasta or risotto and chill out. Listen to a podcast, Facebook ima mother whatever brainless thing I feel like.

We clean up, kids finish hw they didn't get to finish, maybe find a movie on Netflix to watch. Food wise, we like frittata, shakshuka, quiche, egg salad, pizza, mac & cheese.

Clean up takes me a while
Usually in the middle of cleaning up some kids get hungry (again!) and I give them either frozen pizza, noodle soup, cereal ...)
Then bedtime
Laundry
Pack bags for boys who go to school tomorrow
By the time I laid out the clean clothes for the morning I’m tired
I make myself something to eat
Check emails
Imamother
Read and fall asleep
I guess if I were the type of person who had a spotless home by havdalla, I would wonder what to do the whole night...between the dishes, clearing tables, straightening living room, cleaning playroom.... it doesn’t leave me with much time
