[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s not normal in my mind. My DH has a very stressful job and works a lot. When he is not working he is home and with the kids. We have 3 of them. The only reason why he doesn’t see the kids at night is because of work. On a rare occasion he will do a guys thing but that is planned out well in advance.

We have 3 kids - 3, 7 and 9 [/quote]

Agree with this. We have 3 kids and I don’t even know how one parent would go off for several nights per week. Our kids are involved in after school activities (some that DH and I volunteer with leading) so we do a lot of divide and conquering. When we aren’t then we try to do family dinner together at least a few nights per week. Also we know the kids will only be little for so long, I can’t imagine working all day and then missing evenings with them up to 3 nights per week. And then if the other spouse wants 2-3 nights to themself, when are you all together?

Right now I’d say DH and I usually go out with our own friends 1-2x/month and with each other 1-2x/month. I usually exercise on my WAH lunch break but occasionally will on a weekend morning. We also trade off giving each other a little bit of time on the weekend to go read or do whatever we want.[/quote]
