Would you take your child to your anniversary dinner?

This will be our 13th anniversary. Our son is 10. Our sitter cancelled on us. For various reasons, not options for other sitters exist. I have no problem with him joining us - not sure how DH will feel.

We've always taken our kids with us for anniversary dinners. We celebrate the beginning of our family unit.

Is he a responsible 10? I'd leave him at home with a movie and cell phone.

This.
Don't leave him home alone.

I wouldn't want to, but if I had no other choice I'd just have to do it and make the best of it.

Sure why not?

Our twins have come to our anniversary dinner all 3 years they've been alive (soon to be 4). We had 9 anniversary dinners for just the two of us, so we don't mind celebrating the successive ones as a family of four.

Just go out to dinner and plan another anniversary dinner when the babysitter is available. What's the big deal? And why wouldn't you know whether your dh would mind? It's been 13 years, you should know without asking him.

Yes.

Yeah, our daughter comes to all our anniversary dinners.

If this is even a question for you I think it means you and DH don't have enough date nights. We plan for the kids to come with us for anniversary dinners, but we also go out at least 2 nights a week on our own.

Wow that's impressive. We might go out four days a YEAR on our own.

I would if I had to. But we don't get many date nights and that's one of the few we usually have, so I'd be bummed and try to schedule a date night soon.

How old are your children?
