Do you and your husband have date nights?

Our date nights consisted of dropping the kids at grandma and grandpas and getting groceries just the two of us. Then we moved away from all of our family and probably won’t see another date night for a while.
We go monthly. Sometimes on a hot day I just want fish n chips on the rug at the beach watching the sunset so that’s what we do.
Maybe 2 or 3 times a year, that’s all. Nothing to stop you having a little date at home though once the kids are in bed. Cook something nice together that the kids wouldn’t like, or order a nice takeaway, play board games, take it in turns to pick a film each time, lots of ways to make the best of being at home.
We go on dates but we also have a date night at home. Sometimes when we don’t have a baby sitter we put the kids to bed early and have a romantic dinner at home along with fun activities. Next I’m going to order some painting kits so we can paint a portrait of each other for fun
Going on one tonight ☺️
We want to but we don’t have help with our little ones… fingers crossed his mom comes to town so we can… last time we had a date night was in 2023 and before that 2020
We going at least once every couple of months. We went last week to dinner and the theatre :).
I don't have a husband because absolutely fuck that 😂 I have a wife, we have a date night at least once a week, usually Friday or Saturday evenings. We mostly stay in but make it special by having a nice dinner/drinks/film/games etc. We also try and go out without baby at least once a month or every other month whether that's daytime or nighttime.
We do and we don’t like we go when we can afford it and if we can get a babysitter other but outside of that something we just started we have in-house dates once all the kids in bed
We had a date lunch yesterday while my husband's parents looked after our little boy. Then, in November, we had a date afternoon at some live music at a pub whilst my parents looked after our son. Before that, it was our wedding anniversary back in June that we last had a date lunch. We've not had a date night yet, though, as we don't like to ask our parents to look after our little boy too late at night.
We haven't for 15 months. Now that my baby is sleeping a bit better and are into our family routine we got a babysitter once a week so we could go on short date nights (short because we don't want to sleep late because next morning we still have to wake up for our baby and eventually wake during the night too). But that's the beginning
Weekly
As we have no friends or family in this city, no we don’t have date nights. We had a date lunch a few months back when we both took a day off work and our toddler was in daycare but that was a baby scan and a dry lunch.
We do weekly date nights at different fine dining restaurants around LA county primarily ‘ & sometimes it can be a hike or walk in the park, it may be in the day or night we’ve done brunches before & it’s just a time for us to connect on a weekly basis for several hours to build on our intimacy / connection with each other without distractions from others. Date night need not be expensive it need not be elaborately drawn out it could simply be hanging out in a different area of the home as someone tends to the littles in a separate area - the possibilities are endless really 💕💕

I would like to but he has it in his head that we shouldn’t and can’t leave our LO with his mum so he’s not seeing any other options, I’m about to invite him on a couple of homes dates. With and without our LO over the next two weeks. I think sometimes we’ve just got to take charge. Rum and steak lunch - grandad will babysit. 2 hours or so Hot chocolate and heart to heart baby will sleep while we take a moment to hold space for one another. We’ve lost touch of all the key points we used to check in on. So this is a moment for us to pause.
Have a date night at home, it's just setting that time aside and spending quality time together! Picnics in lounges, mini spa, candlelit meal, firepit and catch up, games, canvas painting, learn a new skill together (dancing etc) there's plenty of fun couple apps as well. Movie night....just have to improvise sometimes when childcare, finances or other issues arise.
Of course. Keep the love alive 🌹
We have home date nights! We live very far from family and I don’t trust anyone to watch our daughter. So we take it in turns to plan things to do at home! Recently we’ve done sushi making, board game night, cocktails, we did a quiz with some friends via FaceTime, watched a movie, done a painting thing.. etc! My mum comes out to stay with us for 2 weeks on Thursday so we will definitely go out for dinner then! X
Whenever we can. Sometimes we make fondue at home, build legos, we do a picnics in the park, pizza/wine/movies, walking the pier drinking coffee or eating ice cream, and if we have the funds then fine dining. Sometimes we’ll take our children and sometimes we leave them with grandma
We don’t go on date nights since we had our first 2021 We create a date night by surprising each other. We order in some waffles, Chinese, snacks and baileys and watch Netflix. We do go on dates during the day once in a while.
Very rarely. Mostly on occasions like anniversary or birthdays. If we do it’s planned in advance and only if MIL is free to watch our boy
I was just thinking about this the other day, I would like to do more date nights. Just busy with work and school. And also hard to find a babysitter sometimes.
