[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putting an infant and toddler to bed is not easy. I don’t want to do it by myself, and I don’t like to force my husband to do it by himself. It’s a lot of hassle for a friend date that can happen at so many other times - brunch, happy hour, early dinner, etc etc.

Plus agree with others I’m fried at the end of the day and just want to stretch, shower, watch TV. Going out with a friend on a weekday evening just does not recharge my batteries.[/quote]

+1 it’s not that my husband can’t do it, it’s that we both try not to leave the other one having to do it when we can because it kind of sucks when you have an infant and preschooler and are trying to do both. He also doesn’t leave me during that time unless it’s really necessary because again, it would be hard and is much more enjoyable to do together. I’m usually down to go somewhere at 7:30, that way the infant is at least down - of course one of us can finish up the preschooler on our own. But to be honest, I’m an early to bed person so yeah my preference would be a brunch on a weekend or lunch! It’s not because I’m stifled, just different people are different. I’ve been like that since college. Partied plenty but many nights I would legit by in bed by 10:30 even as a college student haha (now it’s more like 9:30!). And to add to it, my baby still wakes 1-2 times a night (he has a hx of feeding issues so it’s not something the pediatrician recommends changing right now due to weight issues so no, again not a martyr- just everyone has to manage their own issues) so if I go out later evening, by the time I’m back, get in bed, fall asleep, I don’t get a good chunk of sleep before the baby wakes. Husband can take the feed but yeah it still just throws me off. [/quote]
