Maintaining our relationship outside the realm of parenthood is something we both value enough to invest in. When they are grown and fly the nest, all we will have is each other, so gotta keep the relationship strong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night/page/2#post-1807696 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 07:14:21 +0000 namaste 1807696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last weekend we went out for dinner and saw GOTG. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night/page/2#post-1807027 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 12:12:33 +0000 Applesandbananas 1807027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feb 2013? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night/page/2#post-1806981 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 11:16:52 +0000 erwoo 1806981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We set a record this past weekend and had a very casual after-the-kids-have-gone-to-bed date nights two nights in a row stuffing our faces with horribly unhealthy food like mango shaved ice, Korean fried chicken, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, bubble tea, and Taiwanese soft tofu. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night/page/2#post-1806973 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 10:51:59 +0000 lemondrop 1806973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>March... the night before our anniversary and two nights before E was born. </p> <p>We will have family visiting, so we have another coming up very soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night/page/2#post-1806899 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 08:57:17 +0000 night cheese 1806899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three weeks ago today, which was three days before baby arrived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806844 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 06:48:04 +0000 swedishfish 1806844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were able to grab a quick dinner at Carrabba's before going to pick up DH's car a few weeks ago without R. Next one will be for a Zac Brown Band concert at the end of the month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806825 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 05:51:32 +0000 bushelandapeck 1806825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember of we went in July but I know for sure we went out for DH birthday in June. We have a two night trip without LO coming up next weekend to celebrate our anniversary though! I'm going to try to schedule more frequent dates up until the new baby comes in October as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806801 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 02:57:52 +0000 Cherrybee 1806801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not since before DD was born. We have been to a wedding together without DD (but let's be honest, weddings are a massive chore), a ruby wedding anniversary party (chore) and we went out to watch a football game in the pub once (I hate football and it's not like you actually speak to each other when he's staring a screen is it?) but actual go-out-together-have-a-nice-time = not once. My inlaws are our only source of childcare and they have DD three days a week while we work so we can only really ask them at the weekend in exceptional circumstances (like a wedding - yawn). The football evening was a birthday present from them - one evening of childcare. I really miss spending fun time with my husband. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806800 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 02:57:35 +0000 nana87 1806800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: it was our first date night since lo! And the longest I've been away from her, I almost cried when we left haha. She fell asleep nursing right before we left but then broke her sttn streak after we came home-- she was up 3 hrs motn :shocked: glad we had a nice date first though first if this is the start of the 4 month sleep regression! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806789 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 00:56:57 +0000 Marfi 1806789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday (today? Haven't gone to bed yet! :happy: ). For our anniversary today (tomorrow?)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806778 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 00:10:25 +0000 renee 1806778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tuesday :happy: Our next one is tomorrow morning (date brunch, rather than date night). We have had date night every week for 5 years now! I think we've missed maybe 2 weeks ever, and made them up within another week. It's an incredibly important part of our relationship because my DH is a doctor and doesn't have much time. I moved across state for him 5 years ago to a place where I knew almost no one, so we agreed upon date nights every week.</p> <p>Granted, we don't have kids yet (I'm 6w5d pregnant right now!). I imagine after the newborn stage we will have date night every week or every other week, as my in-laws live 7 minutes from us and this will be the first grand baby. I know this sounds naively optimistic, but we take our date nights very seriously! 99% of the time, date night is eating at a restaurant (or, sometimes, take out and a rented movie). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806761 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 22:55:21 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1806761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do date days count? If so, both DH and I took PTO yesterday and watched a matinee showing of Guardians of the Galaxy, had lunch together, then took an afternoon nap before picking up the kids from daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806739 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 22:04:32 +0000 MrsStar 1806739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhhh last November. We went to a concert. I had my mum babysit about a month ago for a couple of hours during the day but that was to clean our last house the day after we moved. Definitely need to have another date night soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806734 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 21:59:27 +0000 Greentea 1806734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( not since prior to LO.... so.... May 2013? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806730 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 21:51:53 +0000 dolphin 1806730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tonight! Went out for drinks and sushi! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806233 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:27:51 +0000 travellingbee 1806233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of the other night when we were in San Francisco. But we met a single friend of ours out. My parents watched DS at the hotel. It was great because it was a restaurant we could've never brought him. It was a sushi place that was so trendy it even had a DJ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806228 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:26:19 +0000 lavender 1806228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In May for a surprise party. Our next one is next Satirday, combo anniversary and birthday dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806220 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:22:48 +0000 yoursilverlining 1806220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last Friday! We went out with 2 other couples and were out until 11:30pm; thank goodness for grandmas and grandpas who don't mind staying up late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806214 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:20:58 +0000 Aimed 1806214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last weekend, we try to do one once or twice a month. We have no family nearby but I really insist on it for our sanity and marriage!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806210 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:17:19 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1806210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would it count if LO fell asleep during dinner? Because it sure felt like a date night to us! That was back in Feb - our last night on Lanzarote. It was blissful ... and the only time it has ever happened! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1806198 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:11:49 +0000 catomd00 1806198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two weeks ago DH and I went to a concert with his parents. I guess that counts as date night lol. Before that, it was probably for our first anniversary - we went to a quick (but nice) dinner when DD was 1 month old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1805713 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 10:54:44 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1805713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In May! We went out for my birthday. Oh, or two weeks ago if the trip to Home Depot without Chloe counts :silly: </p> <p>We have a date tomorrow for our anniversary. Id like to squeeze in one more before baby comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1805710 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 10:53:29 +0000 Boogs 1805710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last October. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1805704 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 10:52:56 +0000 MarieJ 1805704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: All of my family is here, but everyone has their own stuff going on, so I just don't bother them. My niece used to babysit for us regularly, but she just went off to college :( Day dates sound amazing, but unfortunately, he's a school teacher &amp; I am saving all of my days off for my maternity leave in November. Excuses, right? LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1805687 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 10:46:01 +0000 looch 1805687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a month or so ago. We went out for tapas, per our usual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1805686 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 10:46:01 +0000 Mamaof2 1805686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Middle of June - it was so nice!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1805682 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 10:44:46 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1805682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1805677 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 10:43:51 +0000 fancyfunction 1805677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wednesday night for our anniversary. But we actually try to do them pretty frequently. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-our-last-date-night#post-1805672 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 10:42:40 +0000 GrapeCrush 1805672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>End of June.
