Sociasling in the evenings ?

[Messymumof2]

Just wondering how often people do stuff in the evening such as pub with friends or partner /cinema etc and what is your situation .im married and work part time with 2 children. I probably out for dinner with friends or husband twice a month , maybe the cinema a few times. I feel like I'm out so much in the day with work and the school run that in the evenings I just cannot be bothered to do anything .

Married- 3 dcs who don't need babysitting.
Rarely. I love my home and will always choose cinema and seeing friends out in the day 😳
I'm woh most of the time though so don't have toddler cabin fever.

Single parent, 2 DC both at primary school. XP has them once on a week night but that's not guaranteed (they stayed with him once last month). Those evenings I prefer to iron or swim rather than go out. I went out once in March and before that was November. The November night out cost me a fricking fortune so regret that one.

Married with one DS nearly 2 and currently pregnant. No family nearby. DH goes out once a week to a hobby. I probably average once every 2 weeks going out with friends, and we often have people over to ours for dinner or do early meals out with friends with similar aged DC. We go out together when we have family visiting which is a few times a year. Am considering a babysitting service though as I feel we need to get out together more!

Single mum to 4dc - I work 25 hours a week. 2 younger DC are in bed asleep by 7-730 and the 2 older ones are studying or in their rooms in the evening so I go out twice a week

I probably go out with DH once a week. Sometimes with DC as well (teens). We might go out to eat, or to the theatre, a gig etc.

I go out with friends, maybe two or three times a month. Often to literary salons, poetry slams etc with my writer friends. Sometimes out to dinner/cocktails with girlfriends.

I also meet friends during the day. To dog walk, have coffee or lunch.

We go out for dinner every Thursday when kids are at karate which is nice.

Maybe 2/3 times a month but only if something is going on but generally we try and go out once a month

Anything between zero and four times. I get tired if I go out too much and bored if I don't go out enough. We also have people round quite a lot and I make quite elaborate lunches and dinners. We live near a library with a lot of author talks and I go to those with DP and/or DD - that's a fairly low key activity.

With dd1 where we used to live I rarely went out. Now live somewhere different and have dc 2 too. Both under 5 and I work full time. I go out to a fitness class and running twice a week for an hour each and then meet up with friends for a couple of drinks about once a fortnight / three weeks. DH does similar, though the dads round here tend to have a pint or so in the pub after their fitness sessions! We don't really use babysitters and don't have local family so just try to support each other to have a social life - we make sure we get a night out together when we go and visit family if we are there long enough for it to not seem rude and enjoy nights in together instead the rest of the time. Everyone to their own though, just try to do what makes you happy or to stride towards that at least

Married, 2 children, one in primary school and one toddler, work part-time hours but in 13hr shifts.
Go out socially a couple of times a year maybe for colleagues' leaving do or similar. Have been out with DH once since having DC2. I would feel guilty about going out more as I am already not at home in the evening for bedtime etc approx 3 times a week because I am working. My parents and in-laws help us with childcare while we work so we can't ask them to babysit in the evenings as well, and we don't really know anyone else who could babysit.

Married with two children, we both work full time. We go out at least once a week together, sometimes twice. I have about 4 sitters that I can call on, no agency's either friends teenage kids or ex nursery staff who looked after mine at nursery. My in laws live next door but I rarely call on them as their social life is hectic. If we don't go out we have people over to eat. Sundays we either go out to eat with kids or have friends with kids over to eat.
