[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How far away does she live?  Could you take the kids and drop them off for a few hours while you: get your nails done, go out with a friend, run errands, go to the gym? 
Or can you specifically invite her when it works best for you? If you invite her and she turns you down 3 times then you can stop.  I say give it three tries just because she does sound active and might be busy when you suggest.[/quote]
I’d say she’s a half hour before 4, and an hour or more between 4-6. She could be here by the time they get off the bus around 4 and completely miss traffic. If I drive them, I’m stuck in it. If that makes sense![/quote]

You need to build a separate relationship with her outside of your husband.  You take the kids out there for a few visits, then invite her over when husband is not there.  She probably is  not comfortable or may have the impression you really don't want her to.  An hour at night may be a lot for her vs. 10-15 minutes going out to dinner with friends.  [/quote]
