[quote=Anonymous]How little? My kids are 6 and 8, so we need a babysitter to both go out, but they are pretty self-sufficient with their bedtime routine.

I meet friends to workout two mornings a week. My spouse and I typically each go out for drinks with a friend or a work event / happy hour one evening a week. If we both have events on the same day, we get a sitter to pick up the kids and take them to sports.

We get a sitter and go to a concert or out to dinner once every 4-6 weeks.  Some regular sitters have moved away and we need to rebuild our list so we can regularly schedule things. Our kids go to my parents house overnight 1 night every 4-6 weeks, so that’s a built in date night by ourselves or with friends. Between sitters and grandparents, we do a night out every 2-3 weeks.

We’d probably go out more except that I was training for a race and do my long runs at 5:30 am Saturday before kids’ sports. Most of our friends have similar age kids, so most of our socializing is at our home or neighbors’ homes while the kids play. [/quote]
