date night rules

[crunchymama11]

No I don't have date-night rules. Dressing up depends on where we are going, we still talk about the kids, and sex is never a guarantee. But we try and make an effort to reconnect through the week anyway so date nights are just about doing something fun we couldn't do with the girls.

DH and I have only been on three dates since DD was born. For those occasions we tried our best to talk about things besides the kids and school/work, but we found that to be pretty challenging. I also made an effort to look more put together than I do on a daily basis. I wouldn't say that we follow any strict rules though.

I'm so excited for next month. My mom has agreed to watch both kids so we can go out for Valentines Day. It will be our first date since DS (our 2 mo old) was born. I definitely miss having alone time with DH.

Our main guideline is to go to a place we wouldn't usually bring LO (a nicer restaurant, the movies, bowling, etc...)

We don't have any rules either. And to be honest, N has been on every date night. MIL or my parents watch the girls.

Really the only thing that I do is put some effort into looking nice. I wear makeup and actually do my hair instead of the usual every day pony tail.

No special rules. I just keep my cellphone away, because I use it a lot. It's not a "rule" though,

We went out for the first time at the bringing of January since DD was born. (15 months!) my mother watched dd for us.
I was nice, we didn't set any "rules" but we definitely didn't have too much to talk about. I guess I would say, limit talking about work/kids and no phones.
