how often do you go out with partner/ friends?

[moretolife]

i'm sure the answers will make me depressed but let's hear them anyway! my answer would be with partner - maybe twice a year, with friends, maybe couple of times a month. Am i the saddest No-Life on here?

ME and mates: hardly ever, once or twice a yr
Me and Husband: 2 or 3 times a month without kids, sometimes with friends and inlaws.

DD is only 3 months old, so guess it makes it easier to take her with us. We try to go out just dh and I or with mates on Sunday Afternoons to local cafe/bistro type place, with dd, she will usually put up with it for 2 hours. Last went out with dh for early meal (home by 9pm) about a month ago and we are going out for drinks with friends with inlaws babysitting on Sat but again fitting in between dds bedtime (7pm) and when she will need feeding (10.30pm).

We are really lucky though, we live 5 mins walking distance from restaurants we like, and about 10 mins in a cab from the centre of town, so if we do go out and need to get back in a hurry we can.

DH's birthday at end of month, so will be out for meal (again between bed & feed) and then drinks at a bar on the weekend (but I will have to leave at 10pm) - he will stay on and maybe get merry for the first time since dd was born. .

dd is exclusively breastfeed, so it has meant being flexible on times we go out, but as we are both pushing 40 we can't last much past 10pm anyway! .

Last time I went out with DP without kids was Dec 03. I can't believe it now I look at it in writing..

I usually go out with friends every payday! We have big drinking session.
Went out with DH couple months ago for our wedding anni for a meal.Would like to go out together more, but isnt always easy.
