We have three under five. When we did the marriage course we only had two and paid for a babysitter sometimes or my parents did a few hours weekend daytime so we could do stuff.
Now there are three it's too much for my parents to handle having all at once and the baby is too little to leave with a stranger. But over Christmas we had two 'dates' - we went to a sports event and also out for lunch, and wow do we feel happier for it. Had hardly any time together recently as new baby is demanding in the evenings and dh has demanding job with lots of evening work and ill parents he has to go and see when he can. But we've been reminded by our dates of the marriage time thing.
Any suggestions?
