[quote=Anonymous]my kids are 6 and 9 -- we do spend an immense amount of time with other families (we have people over maybe once a month -- i'll  serve some kind of dinner and the kids run around and the grownups catch up. We also we meet up at the pool, we hang out at the playground several times a week, and of course are on the birthday party circuit).

As for my personal social life:

I have two monthly clubs (one a book club, one more like a conversation club where we discuss a topic), my husband also has a monthly club meeting.

about once a week, my husband and I will do something with a friend in the evening while the other parent stays home, like go see music, go to a gallery show, go out to dinner, etc. My kids don't care at all. Sometimes this happens late, starting at 8:30/ 9 anyways, so they don't even really know about it.

I'll have coffee with a friend maybe a couple times a month (this used to be more like 2xweek when I was a SAHM, but I'm working again so I dropped this frequency).

my husband and I have a lunch date once a week when we both WFH.
 
my MIL lives a couple hours away and can usually babysit maybe once every 6 weeks? and we have a date then. We also rarely use sitters -- maybe 3xyear. So i think we end up having a nighttime date every month.[/quote]
