Am I the only one here who hasn't gone out on a date night w/DH since LO was born? Do you find that strange?
If you go out on date nights, who babysits for you? Does the babysitter put LO to bed for you, or do you put your LO to bed first, then go out?
The only family we have here is my SIL, and she doesn't have a car. She's offered to babysit during the daytime, but not at night. Since DS doesn't take a bottle, it seems kind of pointless for her to come during the day on a weekend... In addition, DH would rather spend his weekends w/DS than to go out and have lunch with me but without DS.
I guess it hasn't really bothered us that we haven't gone out on a date night. I also don't see how it would work even if we hire a babysitter? I can't imagine having the babysitter put DS to bed at night when it's not someone he's familiar with? DS's bedtime is 8pm so if we wait until he's asleep before we go out, it'll be really late and I'd rather stay home so I can go to bed early.

Have dropped DH off at work twice on my way out and now it is very weird to be driving with him without LO. Am beginning to contemplate a date afternoon, but would rather do something as a family to celebrate our anniversary later in the month.
Nope we have gone without lo less than 5 only go when family is around they dont live nearby
But we have gone out with our son a ton like early dates. Before 8p. Of course:)
Wait. You left your baby alone in the house to go to a party? Am I the only one who side eyes the shiit out of this?
We've been out a few times. Twice when ILs were visiting and could watch her and twice friends watched her. And at Disney my grandparents watched her one night so DH and I could have dinner/ride rides.
I would love to have more family nearby!
Honestly, I don't think it's a big deal, as long as one of you (parents) weren't intoxicated. DH's parents used to go to their neighbor's at night after DH and his sis were asleep. This was 40 years ago before there were even monitors! They just left the baby's room windows open so they could hear them if they woke up/cried. I routinely go work in the yard when DS is asleep. I have the monitor on. I don't see why it's an issue? Actually, I can hear him cry through the window even if I don't have a monitor, but I always carry it with me.
