GO OUT

but dh wants to stay in

ffs how many times do you get the chance to go out without dc's? erm not a lot.

he says we are both tired, well yes dd 3 and ds 2 months so not surprising, and we should stay in get take away and watch a film

this loosley translated means we'll get food then search sky for a film, but they'll be bugger all on as per and we'll watch the same old stuff as usual. one of us will end up on the computer and the other will fall asleep.

All i want to do is maybe go out to eat then the cinema.

now we've argued about it

eddas, did you go out then?

hope you did and had a brill time!

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 16/06/2007 19:46

Good stuff, Eddas - Enjoy!

elkiedee · 16/06/2007 17:59

Unfortunately it's not Eddas who needs persuading! Even before our baby, it took a lot of effort to persuade my dp to go out. At the moment I don't expect to go out to a cinema for a while, but we'll probably go out a bit with baby in tow. But in some ways/places I suspect small babies are easier to go out with than toddlers and young kids...

It's often like that - get a sitter, feel too tired to go out. But when you are actually out, bet you both enjoy it.

Toomuchtodo, might be a bit of a trek to Kent then!!!

Will drool for you

duchesse, you are totally right. Hoepfully no animation or blardy nursery rhymes in Oceans 13 Not sure about the eating out. Will see how dh feels after the film, might be able twist his arm. Mind you funds are short as usual!

God yeah I do!

I'm in Glasgow!

duchesse · 16/06/2007 17:21

Nah, don't give in. Go out- you'll feel much better and so will he from leaving behind the daily routine for a few hours. Go to the cinema and see a grown-up film. Eat out somewhere you wouldn't dare take the children.

Cinema is a great idea anyway because if he's that tired he can just fall asleep - just choose a film with not too many loud bangs.

Have a lovely time &

Thanks ladies, didn't think I was being unreasonable

DeviousDaffodil · 16/06/2007 15:34

What a waste of a babysitter. Boring old fart!

CuttingCod · 16/06/2007 15:33

he is odd

go otu of an early evenign pizza

Kathyis6incheshigh · 16/06/2007 15:32

Does he go out to work all day and you stay at home with dcs? If so you probably desperately need to get out of the house and he should take that seriously.

elkiedee · 16/06/2007 15:30

Hope you sort it out and make up the argument in time to go out.

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 16/06/2007 14:52

Insensitive doo-dah ...... go out on your own!! Grrr! {{{{{{hugs}}}}}

LynetteScavo · 16/06/2007 14:45

Stay in and send your baby sitter to me. I really want to go out tonight, but DH already has plans, and we can't find a sitter. Your DH is being more than unreasonable.

Emmymummy · 16/06/2007 14:43

Eddas I would kill to go out for a child-free meal & cinema right now. You must go out, and then come back and tell me what it's like.

Oblomov · 16/06/2007 14:42
