Never. Meanwhile, DH does at least once or twice a week. Most of my girl's night are at someone's house and he naturally assumes I'm bringing DS with me.

@mediagirl: I have definitely got to that point with my three year old. It's adding a baby to the mix that has spiced up the mum guilt again.

He watches him 3 mornings/afternoons a week when I work and take a class. Then several evenings a month when I have committee or board meetings or volunteer things. I voted second option, but my actual vote would be somewhere between option 1 and 2.

I don't really go out that much but DH takes DS to the park for an hour in the morning after breakfast and takes care of DS after dinner until bedtime (5:30-7:30pm) about 3-4 days a week so that I can decompress.

@Alivoo01: girls night does not include kids! You need to teach him that stat!

@rachiecakes: We have a very similar schedule.

DH has LO M-F from 9-1 then I have her from 5-9 solo every evening. If we are talking about going out for fun I would say it only happens about 1x/month, boo.

@Smurfette: That's what I think too, but the other girls bring their kids too so I can't really argue it.

I guess about once a month (outside of his normal routine with her, taking her to/from daycare every day). I sometimes go to happy hour after work and he does the bedtime routine solo, though since DD has been in daycare she really wants to nurse once before bed, so this is hard on all of us. I've also done some post-bedtime girls' nights and one concert while DH stayed home.

Maybe 1 time a month, if even that. We're always so tired!

On mat leave now and DH is (will be) a SAHD and we both have errands to run so it's happens about every few days for us. Though, since I'm going back to work in less than a month, I'm getting all my dr and dentist appts out of the way now.
We have twins so it's easier to have one of us stay home and the other goes out. We only take both out for dr appts and when we visit friends.

I wonder how things will go when I get back to work.

I haven't taken the twins out by myself for shopping trips. Not sure when I'll do that.

If one of us goes out, it's usually after bedtime but she goes to bed 6-7pm so that's easy enough. DH goes out about once per week and I'm closer to once per month. But I have a weekday off per week where I generally send LO for 1/2 to 2/3 of the day so I get some weekly alone time.

I often work evenings. Some weeks it's been up to 4 nights either DH or a baby sister is doing bedtime. When I am home we nurse to sleep with others he gets a bottle and then rocked or a patted to sleep. I like that he is flexible and knows different ways to sleep. I also like that I can get out for work or to see friends. Lo is 8 months and I think DH has been doing bed time pretty often for 3 or 4 months.

I'd say about once a month I have a meeting in the evening, and maybe once a week he watches her while I go for a run or to the gym. But actually going out for fun is more like once a month. My bff usually offers to come over when we make plans so that's so much easier! Even before we had lo, I've always been her "chill" friend she relaxes with, lol

Well, I voted once a month because that's usually how often he has solo bedtime.

But, I leave him with the kids every week for some reason or another...it's typically during the day on the weekend

I do an errand or two by myself usually once a week. No GNOs really. I've actually never been out alone at night since lo was born but I haven't wanted to/had a reason.

Barely ever. DH is great with DS, but it's hard to convince him I need some me time every once in awhile. Plus, he's in the military so we live away from everyone. If it's not DH watching DS, it's me.

Practically never. I went to the gym by myself for about an hour last night, but it was after I put both babies to bed.

Outside of the normal routine - 3-4 times per month I will go out with friends or have a hair appt or something.
