[quote=Anonymous]I don’t get it, are you worried he will yell at you for asking?Just explain it to him? I am a SAHM too, and my house is also a wreck! But my DH also understands that it is important for my mental health to get a break, regardless of how bad of a housekeeper I am.

Marriage is about give and take. My DH has gone out the last two nights in a row while I was on my own for dinner and bedtime, and actually two nights last week too. I had all 3 kids out of the house for 2.5 hours today and I took a nap! And I am going out both nights this weekend and the following Friday too. We don’t typically plan to two nights out in a row, it just happens that way. I already had plans with some friends Friday when another friend I haven’t in a year decided to come to town, so I am going out with her Saturday. I wouldn’t say he was gleeful about it, but he didn’t give me a hard time either, just like I understood when he had a work happy hour come up for the day after he already had dinner plans with other friends. If he sought out plans for the third night in a row I would be annoyed and probably get a sitter!

So, ‘I appreciate you taking Friday off work so I can spend the day at the spa with Jenny. It turns out that Jacky has an extra ticket to a show I really want to see Saturday. Are you up for kid duty two nights in a row, or should I get a sitter Saturday and you can see if a buddy is free for dinner? I know timing isn’t ideal, but I’d really like to go to the show’[/quote]
