We just always put him in the Ergo so he's safe. I've never had a problem but around here there are lot of kids always at the dog park too so maybe everyone is just looking out more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48972 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 11:34:06 +0000 heffalump 48972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mynoahbear: We still go out to eat a lot. I love going out because I'm stuck at home with the baby all day. It's a hassle... since we insist on bringing our dog everywhere we go too, but it's worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48968 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 10:10:25 +0000 mynoahbear 48968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely yes. Husband and I used to go out to eat all the time. We also would try to take day trips out of the city on his days off. I think now, we have to do much more planning any time we want to go anywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48930 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 07:56:37 +0000 heffalump 48930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@venice4504: I don't trust strange dogs around my lo. You never know when they'll just come and jump up on you. Also if they're playing they get rough and will run right into you. My husband's been knocked down before, so it would have been bad if he had a baby in his arms. He still goes to the dog park, we just don't go as a family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48929 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 07:53:12 +0000 mrbee 48929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: No, it's been very hard trying to balance things.</p> <p>That said, I do love my kids and love spending time with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48902 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 00:40:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 48902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with mr. bee -- life is completely different. we used to work every weekend, but now our weekends are always family time.</p> <p>when i go out, it's only in the evenings and not without mr. bee since someone has to stay home with charlie. now that we have two kids, i don't think i'll be going out until maybe olive is sleeping thru the night.</p> <p>i really wish we had our parents nearby so we could feel less guilty about forgoing weekend family time to work or spend some time with each other! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48899 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 00:01:59 +0000 EmmeBaby 48899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally different -- We used to go out every weekend. Eat out in nice restaurants; lovely food and lots of wine. </p> <p>Now, we are homebodies. Not complaining, just different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48897 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 23:37:43 +0000 venice4504 48897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We miss movies. Other than that not much has changed. More forethought to go out though.</p> <p>We still go to the dog park....Artbee- any reason why you don't go though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48882 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 22:59:16 +0000 Nskillet 48882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MRBee care to share more? What kind of changes has it had on your career? Are you happier as a result? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48855 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 22:14:37 +0000 mrbee 48855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Life is totally different for me!!</p> <p>I used to work a lot. Now I don't work nearly as much, and it had made a huge difference in my career. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48853 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 22:08:29 +0000 Andrea 48853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are definitely a lot less flashier than we used to be. We used to do a lot of expensive dinners and designer this and that. I don't miss it all that much though. I am glad we had that phase but it is a bit been there done that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48850 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 22:04:36 +0000 chopsuey 48850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. DH and I were always homebodies too. We like to eat out, but now we take our LO with us. :) She loves being out and loves to people watch so we're lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lifestyle-changed-a-lot-since-you-had-your-lo#post-48846 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 21:56:28 +0000 heffalump 48846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I have never been the type to go out to bars or anything like that. We always preferred to be home and in bed by 9 pm. We enjoy going to different events in our community, like art fairs and live music. We love doing things that are outside so we can bring our pup. The things that I miss since having my lo are movies, plays, and going to the dog park. Other than that, life is pretty much the same.</p> <p>How has your life changed since having a baby? </p>
