I hear you. It's just that these people suggesting a multitude of activities plus sex multiple times seem to have no concept of how quickly a day actually passes, or how long a baby can spend in daycare! |
|
Start the day off right: Have sex right away. Go drop the baby off at daycare, come home and have lovely sex, go have a long, relaxing brunch, and then either do something out and about or come back to bed.
We love our occasional date days! I'm pregnant now, so limited booze and heartburn considerations must be dealt with, but it is wonderful. We've got one coming up January 2nd ourselves. |
|
OP, this is the perfect opportunity for you to rearrange your closets.

I say see a New Release Matinee.
Or visit a local Art Museum. I do not know where you live at, but maybe take a hike if you live near any mountains or canyons. Or visit an elderly friend or family member you may not have had time to see recently. Then stop for ice cream or frozen yogurt on the way home. |
Do you like being alone? That, or anything related to household chores or running errands, is NOT a date idea.

I'm PP @ 19:00 - it's about really connecting again, putting aside all the distractions that typically occupy our days. With my GF, we have 3 kids between us, so we do take a day for just ourselves from time to time, and while we have a lot of amazing sex regularly, a day like this is for us to unleash on each other, ravish each other like we were horny teenagers (instead of horny 30/40 year olds). The rush is unbelievable and lasts for days and days and we know we are much deeper in love and connected with each other because of days like day dates. ~dd |

Sex! I'm always too tired for sex at night, so afternoons are ideal.
Morning: take care of whatever slightly enjoyable household project you can think of. Then lunch as your budget permits. Then home for sex. Then-- this is key-- a nap. Then shower, and one of you picks up the baby while the other makes dinner. Followed by a no-chores evening. Your marriage will thank you! |
Yes! |

My husband and I have used a day like that to go sit at Tryst, drink coffee and play cards for several hours. Also, if you want a mini-getaway, the Gaylord Hotel at National Harbor has a gorgeous couples massage suite overlooking the water. And they have a co-ed lounge where you can hang out together in your spa robes and relax. There's a picture of it here:

So you're an unmarried man writing about an ideal day with your girlfriend? How long have you been together and how many of your three children do you have in common (and how many live with you)? |
| Dh and I have done this a few times, this reminds me we should do it again because it was so relaxing to not have to worry about the kids. The first time we did this we spent almost and an entire day at spa world, got massages and spent a lot of time in their saunas. |
We're both divorcees, and the kids are from previous marriages (I have one) - we both have respective primary custody. So getting time for ourselves, and escaping two intense jobs even for just a day, is a critical part of staying close to each other. Does that satisfy you or do you still have more unrelated questions? |
