[quote=Anonymous]Wow, OP you need to have a frank talk with your wife. The fact that she won't leave them with anyone is totally unreasonable. Especially if it sounds like her parents are in town?! I'd give almost anything to have grandparents in town to watch my kids. To put it in perspective, DH and I both work full time and we have a regular babysitter every other Saturday. I also go out to dinner with my girlfriends probably once a month, plus a monthly book club. DH has less regularly scheduled outings with friends but maybe once a month or so goes out with friends from work on his own. That is totally normal. I'd completely burn out if I did nothing for myself/with my friends. What time do the kids go to bed? Seems like one/both of you aren't abandoning the kids if they are in bed when you go out? Maybe show DW this thread so she'll understand that most other couples/individuals go out with friends? Good luck, what you're describing sounds miserable. [/quote]
