[quote=Anonymous]Some perspective from a nanny.  Many of my charges haven't the slightest idea what their parents do and where they go during the week.  They just know they leave to go to work.  For all they know, work could be one giant party.  Weekend time should be time spent with your children as much as possible.  if you are married, do it together if possible.  My friends alternate days that they get to sleep in on the weekends but only until 9am or so.  Then, they spent most of the days together doing errands with the kids and doing fun stuff.  Balance is key.  You are parents now.  Your kids have limited time with you so remember that.  A girls' night out once a month is cool as is a date night every few weeks.  Your DH could do an early golf outing one weekend morning too.  It isn't about you anymore.  Keep repeating that in your head.  You had your "you" time before your child was born.  If you want to stay a family, be a family by spending what limited time you have together as much as possible.  I am a mom too.[/quote]
