[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it matters what other people do. You need to figure out what works for your family. Sounds like you and the girls are content to stay home and DH is not. Can you compromise?

Every few weekends do something big as a family (museum, ice skating, etc) for part of the day. Then let DH figure out some other ways to get out of the house. Maybe he can take both girls to the pool, or start a tradition where he takes turns taking one out for hot cocoa, the library, and errands. And get a babysitter every other weekend to go out together one evening! Talk to him about a solution that would address both your needs and try it for a couple months.

My DH is much happier puttering around the house on weekends than I am. I want to DO things and get stir crazy. Sometimes I drag him out to do things together and he willingly obliges, but lots of other times I just take a kid and head out to the pool, the playground, the nature center, the museum, etc myself. Typically that’s at least once a day on the weekends.[/quote]
