[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You got 2 young kids and you want your wife to up and go on a trip with you?[/b]  Look at it from her perspective - neither of you will have an opportunity to spend time with your young children for much longer.  Sorry if your penis isn't the most interesting thing in the world to her anymore, lol.

I get the feeling though.  My wife and I 'date' during the work week where MIL can come over to the house, heat up some prepared dinner, and let the kids play.  We get some alone time, wife doesn't feel like we've overburdened her mother, and it's a good time really.[/quote]

DW here. Seems reasonable to me. I find it bizarre how MC and UMC women completely give up their lives when kids arrive. It’s a complete 180 that isn’t healthy.

Going away and spending a few days focused on your spouse and resting is very normal and healthy. Anyone telling you otherwise has anxiety and way too much focus on their children.

It’s ironic but mothers who can’t leave their children for a weekend tend to end up very bath mothers to older children. [/quote]

So much judgement in your post.

She's not wrong. [/quote]

Yeah, mothers who don't want to burden their own elderly mothers so husband can get some action, while the dude pouts on the internet instead of offering solutions, are bad.  Or something.  [/quote]

How sad that you view a weekend get away with your spouse only about sex?

[b]Seems like OP is trying to come up with solutions. [/b]

I can sympathize with OP for not knowing how much life would change post kids. Pre-kids you get to travel on adult trips and socialize with only adults. Now I have kids and most women seem only interested in socializing with their kids and talking about them too. It’s weird how this happens overnight.

I think the kid-centric lifestyle in the suburbs is unhealthy and driving a lot of unhappiness. OP is the perfect example. He wants to get away with his wife for a few days to have fun and not be limited by kids and has crazies like you claiming it’s about sex. Did you think weekend trips pre-kids were only about sex?

Where do you see OP doing that?[/quote]
