Have you ever not had a night away from dc?

[MummyCool19]

It’s really getting me down. Youngest is nearly 3 and I have never had a night away. I’m desperate for a night/weekend away with DH. We don’t get any time together at all but have absolutely no one to have the dc. It’s depressing but we choose this life I know. But it’s soooo exhausting 😩😩😩😩

How do you cope when you don’t get any time from dc? How do you stay sane?

Never needed, we have time alone when they are gone to sleep.

Last time I had a child free night away I was in hospital just before I had my youngest nearly 5 years ago. I had 3 nights away with dh 9 years ago.

Now that youngest is at school we usually have lunch out together every 2 months or so.

Exactly the same situation here. We’ve had nights away separately with friends and him with work lots but not together.

I looked into overnight nannies but so so expensive would be prohibitive.
