How often do your DP's go out?

[imwithspud]

Just curious, my dp does badminton once a week with work mates and has also decided that he wants to go to the driving range once a month and also do a 9 hole round of golf once a month, both activities which don't take long at all, an hour, two max maybe.

We have a nearly 3yo and 12 week old dd's so I don't get much me time at the moment, as expected. Just interested to see how often other people's partners go out and do hobbies and stuff. I don't think my dp does too much but I can't help but feel a little envious at his 'freedom' sometimes. Although to be fair he does his fair share around the house as well so I can't really complain too much.

About twice a week

Twice, sometimes three times a week (a Sunday afternoon, and then one or two weekday evenings).
Sometimes more if he is playing a gig (never for money, it's for fun, not work).

It does get a bit much sometimes as we have a 13 week old and I do struggle. He often asks "do you mind if I go to x" but I don't really feel like I can ask him not to do stuff.

This has just reminded me... Leftfield are coming to our hometown and normally we'd go to a gig like this together but it's about a month after our baby's due... so I've said DH can go (am gutted to miss it myself, wouldn't want to deprive him!!) Must buy him a ticket before they sell out

Would be really pissed off if he made a habit of going out all hours once the baby's born - he probably goes out once a week with his friends on a Friday or Saturday night at the moment... prior to pregnancy I'd probably be going too half the time, but being pregnant has made me tired!!! Once we have a baby this might be renegotiated, but as I don't know what life will be like then, I guess I'll wait and see... Will definitely make sure he pulls his weight round the house though!

I did put my foot down when he mentioned joining a gym recently. Told him he would not have the time, and I wasn't going to be a part-time single mum while he gets 3-4 nights off a week. And we can't really afford it! I think he may have been deliberately winding me up...
