[quote=Anonymous]We each have personal time at a set time every weekend.  (Saturday morning and Sunday morning).  It really helps to have it fixed and you don't have to arrange or ask or negotiate for it.  Makes it much easier to see friends that way too.

Weekend babysitter once a month and you go out to brunch or work out together.  Evening dates don't work for me, I'm just too tired.  Get over the guilt of the babysitter.  Our kids love their sitter.  Hire someone who speaks a foreign language if you need to make it educational.  If you are experiencing "maternal fatigue" ie you're worn out from bearing, nursing, and parenting small children, rest is the only cure.  Get a babysitter every weekend until you feel better.  Your kids will be much happier if you can get yourself un-crankified, and this is waaaay cheaper than divorce or therapy.

We do No-Chores Fridays.  Friday nights we let everything go, sit in the middle of the mess and have a drink and play cards.  It takes the pressure off conversation.

Being an adult child of divorce is my main motivation.  [/quote]
