Date Night

HALFM00N

How often do you and your DH spend alone time, either in or outside?

Hahahaha. None. Unless you count the time after DD goes to bed. We don't have family nearby and I'm still not comfortable leaving DD with a random sitter. Since she's been born we've left her three times... once to go out to dinner when she was about 6 weeks old, one day she went to child care while DH and I attended a conference for his work, and one time we went to Kroger (bow chicka wow wow, lol) while my sister watched her for 10 mins. I really don't mind though. She's a good baby, I enjoy bringing her places with us.

ETA: When #2 is born I totally plan on leaving them both with whatever family is visiting and going out with DH for drinks/dinner. I haven't had alcohol in over 2 years - it's time!

Yea same here but I have family around. I just feel extremely guilty for leaving her when I am away from her all week long. I asked because my co worker said DH and I should spend some more alone time together...but she doesn't have a kid...so why judge?

We have no family around and haven't found a babysitter yet (we just moved to a new city in February). But I'll have no problem leaving him with a sitter once we find one. In the mean time, we try to make the most of our time together after Pi goes to bed.

We try to have date nights a couple times a month if we can schedule it. We hang out together every night after DS goes to bed.

Only after she goes to bed or before she gets up. Sometimes we have my parents or his mom watch her, but this is not very often at all.

We very rarely go out alone.  DH is a homebody so usually he wants to stay home, and since he doesn't see DD during the day he likes to take her everywhere with us.  We do spend time alone at home, cooking dinner, sitting around a fire outside, etc.  DH's family is all within 30 min but they never want to watch DD, they're kind of weird.  My goal after having LO #2 is to find a regular sitter.

We don't spend much one on one time together without JT but that's just because most times these days I don't like DH! We probably go out once a month, maybe every other but it's not for lack of babysitters! I use family all the time to go out by myself though
