[quote=Anonymous]No, sorry I can't relate. I applaud your efforts to model good behavior for your children, that is important. The DH thing is a bit of an issue and you need to be on the same about parenting choices. If you have a need to be 'bad', why not blow off steam from time to time when your kids aren't around? Of course it will be more limited than single life, there are sacrifices with parenting.

Tired of cooking healthy meals? Duck out for an hour to grab burgers and a shake.

Tired of responsible budgeting? Allow yourself periodic large or small splurges (jewelry, handbag, antiques, whatever it is your want blow $$$ on)

Dislike volunteering? Then stop doing it.

Tired of always watching moralistic disney movies? After the kids go to bed watch some adult movies with your spouse.

Bored watching Larla's soccer practice? Then get a sitter or DH to watch the kids while you go to a happy hour with some girl friends.

I admit that I really don't understand where you are coming from so these suggestions may not be helpful. I partied in college, but was never huge into drinking at bars. Also I grew up poor and had to be responsible with money, school, and my career from an early age so now it is in my nature. Perhaps that has something to do with it. [/quote]
