I think once every two months is good for me! Maybe every 3 months when I go back to work.
-
I'd say once a month! We don't usually do anything too fancy though, just dinner and a movie. We don't get much time just the two of us (even after j goes to bed) because I'm either working, we are cleaning or DH is studying...time OUT of the house is important for us.
-
We go once a week. Love it!
-
I think once a month would be good- once every 2 weeks would be awesome! We usually just do dinner and a movie but its do nice to have just us time.
-
We try for once a month
-
A few times a year- not often enough! But we'll open a bottle of wine and watch a movie after bedtime, so better than nothing. We have a few coming up soon thanks to my IL's being around, so we are taking advantage of it!
-
I would like to do once a week, but it's usually once every other week. We need to pack in a few more before LO2 arrives!
-
Not often! We just like chilling at home together after the kids go to bed. Both are down before 6:30 so we have lots of time together in the evening.
-
I would really like to be able to go out twice a month. Right now though we haven't had a date in awhile... P decided she didn't want to be anywhere without me so it's posed difficult to get away. Lol
It's been a 2-3 months since we really had a date (when Superman came out), I think we're overdue for one!
-
Once a month would be great. We went last month, but our babysitter bailed on the one we were supposed to have next weekend
-
@chopsuey: 6:30?!?! I don't want that every night because I often don't get home until 5:45 but some nights that extra hour or two would be so nice...
-
Once a week currently, pre-baby. Not sure what will be realistic once she arrives... maybe fortnightly would be nice
-
Once a week these days, it's a good amount.
-
We haven't been out since Lorelei was born! Literally.
-
Weekly and it's such a luxury for us since my sister can watch him every Friday night. Once baby comes we probably won't have a chance to have date night for quite some time. We're trying to take advantage of it now.
-
@chopsuey: same!
Lo sleeps well and dh & I get a ton of time together (order a movie, takeout or I cook something yummy, so we need the dates less and less. I'd say once a month would be nice but once every 2 months wouldn't be bad either. -
We probably go once a month or once every other month.
But I would love to go once a week!
LO is a terrible sleeper and my mom doesn't want to watch LO at nighttime... so we are kind of limited to daytime/early evening stuff.
-
Ideally once a month would be nice... It's so expensive though to pay for a sitter, dinner for us and for the sitter/LO, and if we wanted to do a movie as well, add on another $20. That is steep and not extea money we have right now
So we go very sporadically... Like I can count on one hand all the times we've gone since J was born. For Christmas last year my mom gave is a GC to a restaurant and a night of free babysitting and that was such a great gift! Our date was totally paid for.
Our next date will be for my birthday in three weeks.
-
We go out weekly. Sometimes twice a week.
-
@Mrs. Pen: everything adds up! My MIL watched them for 2.5 hours...I picked up Chipotle takeout for her before she came over and she wanted $25 worth of sushi from the restaurant we ate at! Eeeek!
-
Ideally, once a week but sometimes DH's schedule doesn't allow for that so it ends up being every other week. Date nights out are new for us since we've had LO, and have been so nice!
-
@Mrs. Pen: I don't think we'd ever go if we had to pay for a sitter
My sisters have already hinted that they want me to buy them dinner when they sit, which is why we haven't used them yet! It's expensive enough to go out to dinner, and then to order a pizza is another 20$!
-
We go about once a month or so but I'd love it if we could do something alone once a week. We don't have family aroun though, so it's tough to schedule time for us to go out. LO is usually in bed around 7:30-7:45 and I like to be in bed around 9pm.
-
Would love to make it regularly once a month, Lo is 11 months old and I think we've had 3 actual date nights?
-
Ideally I would love a week. Realistically I'd like once a month, twice when I'm done my dissertation.
-
I'd love to go on a date (out of the house) once a month but realistically we go out once every two and a half months?
-
I would love one every couple of weeks. Just to dress up in some nicer clothes and talk adult stuff is such a nice break.
-
I wish we could go once a week! We NEVER have date nights.
-
Once a week would be ideal!!!
-
Once or twice a month would be nice.
