Mind you, we pay her really well so I imagine she prioritises babysitting over a social life, we know she is saving up for a car. Basically it's one of our biggest expenses but probably also the best thing we do for our marriage. Every 2 weeks or so we go out for dinner either alone or with friends, go to cocktail bars, go to movies, or just hang out together wherever. We look at it as money well spent :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-goto-childcare-for-date-nights#post-2229353 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 18:55:44 +0000 MsMini 2229353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do date nights when we go visit family or when they come here - none since DD was born though :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-goto-childcare-for-date-nights#post-2229350 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 18:54:19 +0000 Finfan 2229350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually his parents but our Y does Parents' Night Out which is 4 hours of babysitting and dinner for $20!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-goto-childcare-for-date-nights#post-2229312 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 18:20:59 +0000 MrsStar 2229312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mum, haven't had a date night in the last 6 months at least though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-goto-childcare-for-date-nights#post-2229304 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 18:14:43 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2229304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's parents or mine when they come to town </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-goto-childcare-for-date-nights#post-2229288 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 17:43:55 +0000 Charm54 2229288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents...they usually keep her overnight once a week so we use that as a chance to go out to dinner or a movie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-goto-childcare-for-date-nights#post-2229284 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 17:37:31 +0000 Jess1483 2229284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents take LO1 overnight once every week or two. Now that LO2 is here, it'll be awhile before we have another, but even just having the big one away for a night is a break. They'll also watch him here, but prefer to have him over there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-goto-childcare-for-date-nights#post-2229273 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 17:22:58 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2229273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-goto-childcare-for-date-nights#post-2229271 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 17:22:10 +0000 MrsH 2229271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-goto-childcare-for-date-nights#post-2229266 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 17:20:33 +0000 chopsuey 2229266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh's aunt or his BFF </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-goto-childcare-for-date-nights#post-2229262 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 17:15:48 +0000 sapphire 2229262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have yet to really accomplish this because of family summer travel plans, but - grandparents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-goto-childcare-for-date-nights#post-2228791 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:48:52 +0000 Boogs 2228791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No go to so we don't really go on dates.
