Hey OP. I just had my third. I have a 4, 2 and 0 year old! I still have 2-3 hours to myself at night and my husband and I have a fantastic relationship and we have a date night every other week.

The date night thing is a financial thing not a kid thing. If you're comfortable leaving your baby for a date night when they're little (and I'm a huge advocate of that!) then continuing that with two children is nothing but a financial decision.

The 2-3 hours to myself comes from keeping to a very rigorous sleep schedule and putting children on a pretty hard core schedule. We will make exceptions for special events but my kids are on a timer, they wake and sleep the same time basically everyday. And we stuck with bedtime routines even through the tantrum weeks. Our children have not ever slept in our bed (other than one or two really sick nights or bad nightmares, very special occasions).

Its doable...it just has to be what you're prioritizing. And I don't mean that as a dig towards other people with different high priorities. Just saying, as someone with similar priorities it can be done.[/quote]

I don't believe you that your newborn is on a timer and wakes up and sleeps the same time everyday.[/quote]
