[quote=Anonymous]We do a lot of daytime dates taking advantage of school and WFH so we don't have to spend a fortune on babysitters. Also we prioritize time together after the kids go to bed.

I have friends who insist on the weekly date night but they often have jobs that keep them apart all week -- in office and often even travel and late nights as well. They also seem to have more individual hobbies and commitments that keep them apart in the evening. Not a criticism just noting that I think this is why some couples find them essential. Whereas my DH and have two days a week where we WFH together and usually grab lunch together on those days plus occasionally use vacation time to do a daytime movie or other activity during the week plus also spend most evenings together. A date night on top of that is superfluous and an unnecessary expense.

When we go out it is usually one at a time with other people -- drinks with friends or coworkers. We only hire sitters so we can do that a few times a year or if our parents visit we can get away.

I don't think either of us view it as a problem.[/quote]
