I think it's just our way of justifying eating out lol!

We have to pay for a babysitter, and the last time we were both so tired. Plus like Looch, our LO is an early riser, so we just can't really stay out too late. coopsmama on "How often do you go on dates?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-on-dates-1#post-1404338 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:51:28 +0000 coopsmama 1404338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We've been on two dates since DS was born and he is almost 8 months old. I think our marriage has been suffering lately because of the lack of time alone, but finding babysitting is hard. :sad: Glitter on "How often do you go on dates?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-on-dates-1#post-1404325 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:48:12 +0000 Glitter 1404325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Almost every Friday.... but no kiddies yet!

I want to say we've been on 3-4 dates in the 7 months since she's been born. We actually have a 'date day' planned for V-day; we are both taking off work. We're just so darn tired, and even though our family lives in town, they are always too busy to babysit.

I'd say we go out every 4-6 weeks? We don't have any family here so we pay for a babysitter when we go out. If we went out weekly, then we'd be broke! We also just really love relaxing at home so we snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie on the weekends...does that count? plantains on "How often do you go on dates?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-on-dates-1#post-1404237 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:21:31 +0000 plantains 1404237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Every month, sometimes two. It is so expensive to pay for babysitting in NYC. Worthwhile, but sometimes impossible. blackbird on "How often do you go on dates?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-on-dates-1#post-1404227 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:19:29 +0000 blackbird 1404227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Most of our 'date nights' include sitting on the couch, watching tv together, and drinking wine. We don't go "out" much persay. It's expensive, trying to eat healthy, etc. We're probably at about once a month. But we make the best of the time we are at home, too.

That is a steal. Ours is $35, but the money goes directly to the teachers, minus the pizza expense. rattles on "How often do you go on dates?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-on-dates-1#post-1404219 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:17:24 +0000 rattles 1404219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not often enough! We have had a lot of weddings and other engagements that have used up our babysitting resources, so we've had a lot of downtime in. I'd like to go out more, but when we can't, I'd like to keep finding ways to make "date night" here different from a normal night at home.

We have since our daughter was 2 months old, and it's been one of our best parenting decisions so far! littlebug on "How often do you go on dates?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-on-dates-1#post-1404202 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:14:01 +0000 littlebug 1404202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Once a month, daycare has Mom and Dad's Night Out. For $5, we can drop D off from 6:45-10:30 and go out on date night! We usually just go out for dinner and catch up. It's awesome.

We usually try to go at least every 2-3 months though. Next one is set for V-day! DH says it's a surprise but he worked it out with my mom watching ds for an overnight date night! :P BananaPancakes on "How often do you go on dates?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-on-dates-1#post-1404166 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:04:39 +0000 BananaPancakes 1404166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Umm, like once a year. :( yin on "How often do you go on dates?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-on-dates-1#post-1404162 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:04:07 +0000 yin 1404162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Before DS2 we went out every Friday.

We see movies and go out to dinner. Our last date was at where we celebrated our first anniversary with a Gilt City voucher. It was a nice date. I think our next one is a housewarming party later this month or maybe something before this. We also have a weekend away from LO for a wedding in early March.
