To want baby free time?

more of a general question rather than a AIBU....

do you still get time alone with your OH? (nights out, weekends away etc...)

we have 1 DD, she's 17 months. love her more than life, but i also love having time with just me and OH. i'm very lucky that my aunt takes her 2 nights a month (my aunt and i are very close) and my mum is good too, she will always have DD when i ask her. i don't take the piss though, i know my mum has her on life, she works etc... i only ask occassionally, and actually feel a bit cheeky asking, even though she adores DD (only grandchild)

i also still like nights out with my girlfriends, and have to be honest, i don't ever want them to stop. sometimes i think i never want another child because i know my time alone with OH and nights out with friends will be few and far between, as my mum and aunt would struggle to see to 2 children. how selfish am i?! Blush

so, what's it like for other mumsnetters? do you still have your own life, as in adult time with OH and nights out with friends?

well i'm glad to hear that solo, the company might be a good thing for you.

Yes, the youngest is at nursery each morning.

Company may be good for me, but I'm rarely (in the past anyway) comfortable with other women in my house; think it's an inferiority complex :(
