    Question Do you and your dh/so have dates

    No and I wish we did. We 3 special needs kids, we just don't have anyone to watch them. I really miss our special dates we use to have.

    We do go out whenever family comes to visit. They only come once or twice a year though. lol
    I wish we could go more often, but I am not ready for babysitters.

    Nope- not even for our anniversary, unless fast food while grocery shopping counts as a date.

    Tuesday nights are called "date nights" here, because Wednesday is the only day of the week that neither one of us works. Our big dates consist of takeout food and renting movies. We either pile blankets on the floor in front of the fireplace and tv, or else eat/watch in our bed. We have the baby with us, but, still, we both look forward to our date nights because it's something we do just for us.

    Nope unless you count Home Depot or the dump.
    It used to bother me alot and I used to complain and that got me nowhere. Now I just enjoy going through life with him.

    Yes we do but we don't have a standing date nite. It's wonderful when we get out and do things together. Makes me feel like a kid again (ok till my achey joints scream me back into the moment!).

    Yes we do. We had one last night. We went out to eat and dancing. We don't go dancing very often, but we like too. We usually just go out to eat and spend time alone. Sometimes we may catch a movie.

    Yes, it's nice to have live-in babysitters

    On Friday nights, we meet our friends at our favorite restaurant for dinner when we can.

    When the weather is nice, Saturday yard sales are our dates.

    We try to go out at least once a week together.
