For DH & I both currently, it's the spontaneity of leaving the house (run errands, out to eat, etc.) at any time of day and travel when it was just us two!
We've been on a good streak of date nights and I think it's making us want even more time! 
You might also enjoy...
-
sleeping in!
-
Working out. I was in such good shape and felt so good about myself! I just haven't been able to make it a priority since having DS. I'm ok with it but it's definitely something I miss and hope to get back to at some point in the future!
-
Sleeping in, being able to have some 'quiet time' in the middle of the day.
-
One word - Freedom!
Freedom to sleep in, freedom to go wherever, whenever!
-
Free time to sleep in or watch tv all day or do whatever we want to!
I also miss traveling!
-
I miss having time for many yoga classes/ workouts, traveling, going to nice restaurants regularly, and seeing more of our friends. I don't mind missing out on this too much. We'll have more free time in a couple of years!
-
Sleep, money, and spontaneity.
-
Sleeeeep!
-
Alone time to just do whatever I want.
-
Weekends that were not prep for the week ahead. Oh Sunday funday!
-
Yoga! And sleep. But, man I miss being able to go to fitness classes whenever I wanted.
-
Sleep! .. and maybe not feeling like I am running around with my head cut off.
-
Sleep and traveling!
-
Freedom, for the whatever factor
-
Traveling the way we once did. The significant decrease in fine dining we once did.
If you asked 3 mo ago it would have been sleep.
-
Spontaneous happy hour. On the drive home, LO and I pass three beautiful patios attached to bars. I can always see people hanging out and having a pint. I want to sit in the sun on a Tuesday afternoon having a drink with friends. And then be able to go home and lay on the couch. Alas, this is not in the cards for me for a LONG time...what with being nine months pregnant and dealing with a threenager.
-
Sleep. Traveling. Going out at night. Seeing movies in the theater on the reg. My money, haha
-
Sleep, non scheduled weekends, dates, clean house, lots of other stuff. I really miss just having that connection with DH, now its all about our LO, and its hard to have energy at the end of the day to take care of each other.
I miss not having to schedule every single little thing. If DH is going to be late from work, he has to tell me so I know to put LO down by myself, if I want to run errands on the weekends, I need to make sure DH is free to watch LO.
-
Spur of the moment travel. The sleep will improve and the nights out will hopefully be more frequent as they get older but the not having to plan details all the time- I think we are on the hook for at least the next 20 years.
-
sleep. going out for dinner or drinks whenever we wanted.
more seriously, the freedom to work whenever/however I need to get the research/writing for my dissertation done. like, the ability to travel easily for work whenever I need to, or to work late/on weekends without having to manage all the logistics of making sure lo's needs are met
-
sleep, running, and having lazy Saturdays with my husband where we lay around watching tv and drinking wine
-
Sleeping in, having more time to work out (especially in the morning), not having to schedule everything around naps, traveling, being able to get out the door without drama or negotiation.
-
Spontaneity and flexibility and not being accountable to anyone!
-
Money! Day care is soooo expensive!
-
Sleep and being able to go out whenever we want.
-
Sleep!!!! Also spontaneity and eating at adult-friendly restaurants past 6pm lol
-
Spontaneity. Being able to just grab my coat and purse and leave the house. Being able to just take off to the beach for a weekend.
-
Sleep and money. I also miss the feeling of going on a trip/vacation without feeling a little sad. Every time my hubby and I go away for a few days I miss my son so much. So I always feel torn.
-
Sleeping in and spending an entire weekend on the couch binge watching something.. anything....
-
Sleep! I don't function well on little sleep, and that's been often lately!
-
Friday and Saturday nights out, plus traveling...
So sad, we are planning our next big week long vacation (Disney Aulani in Hawaii) for 16 months from now, when new baby will be one. 16 months, oh my.
-
Spontaneous outings
-
Time to myself - going to the gym daily, shopping whenever I feel like it, etc. Even when I occasionally get to do these things, I'm always racing the clock to get back and help out DH with LO.
-
Having our own bedroom.
-
Getting into and our of the car taking seconds instead of 20 minutes. Freaking car seats slow my roll.
Also not having to wait until the kids are in bed for ice cream or chips.
-
Sleep and vacations!
-
Being able to be carefree and spontaneous! Without kids I hardly had to plan anything - outings, vacations, meals - it was all so easy wheh not having to think about a little one. You eat whatever and drink whatever and packing for yourself was so much easier!
-
Definitely the spontaneity and freedom to do whatever we wanted, without a ton of pre-planning. I've become a little crazy about the kids schedules, naptimes, etc and it can cause a lot of stress at times. I also miss the alone time. I've come to realize I'm much more of an introvert than I realized and I need time to myself to decompress. Close to impossible when you have two little ones at home.
-
Going to the movies whenever I felt like it.
