[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whenever we want.  Not sure I could put a frequency on it.  But we have a nanny, so we have a built-in sitter (assuming she's free) and our friends do as well, so no one is either hurting financially or looking for childcare.  However, I don't think it's totally a class thing, as someone put it, because my best friend does the same and she and her husband are not remotely wealthy (under $100K combined income with two kids) and the kids were both in daycare so they never had a nanny and they use college sitters.  I think if there's a will there's a way, although I think money makes the way easier, for sure.[/quote]

We have a seven figure income and cost of sitter is a non-issue. We still never go out with couples. This is probably the way we socialize though. DH and I go out solo with our friends pretty frequently and also do date night a few times per month.

We have three children and like spending time with them.

We have a friend with a standing date night once per week. I know that go out with another couple often. The wives are like best friends.

DH and I don’t have a good enough couple friend we want to hang out with as a couple that badly.[/quote]

I cannot imagine that anyone wants to spend an evening with you.  You are insufferable.[/quote]

Because we have a high income? I just said we like to hang out as families. We actually host friends at our house often. [/quote]

No, you're insufferable because this is now the second time you've mentioned your income on a thread that doesn't really have much to do with money. SMH. [/quote]

I was responding to the post immediately before this one that said it was financially so it actual was relevant.

My point was that we are high income and we can afford the sitter but still choose not to.

You are the one who seems hyper focused on the income. I never mention our income in real life.[/quote]
