[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH goes out one night a week with friends. So do I. Then he and I go out one night a week. Then we go out one night a week with couple friends. We host parties sometimes- maybe once or twice a month. [/quote]

You guys are only home together 3 nights per week?  To each their own, but I wouldn’t like that.

No one should feel bad if they have little kids and spend a lot of time home together. [b]There’s plenty of time for dinner parties and concerts, OP, your kids will only be little once[/b]. [/quote]

There are so many problems with this.  First off, your priority is to your husband and a strong marriage benefits your children.  It is very hard to maintain a strong marriage if you’re unable to put down the kids and spend a few hours focusing solely on your spouse.

It’s also unhealthy to present a life to your kids where all mom does is cater to kids.  If you’re rarely socializing without your family or going out as a couple then your kids grow up thinking that mom has no life and exists to serve others in her household.  She’s not an independent person.

Your kids are going to grow up and if you don’t prioritize yourself and your marriage you’re going to end up devastated when they grow up and need to become independent people.  [/quote]

If I could give this a thousand upvotes I would. Exactly. Every word of this.[/quote]
