Re: How often do you & DH go out?
We go out alone on special occasions and adult only functions we are invited to (weddings, work functions, etc). Otherwise, we take DS with us. My mom is pretty much the only one who watches the kids and it is hard for her to take care of 2 kids by herself. She does watch one DS or the other so we can go out with just 1 child at a time. It's way too hectic to go out with both kids. One at a time is doable.
DH and I do take turns hanging out with our friends though. We both have a childless friends so I'll go have dinner with my gfs and he'll go out and watch a game or have drinks with his.
I do wish we had more dates out but we have plenty of time together at home.

Less than once a month, more than twice a year (so can't vote in the poll!).
I wish it was more often. DH and I connect in such a different way when we're by ourselves, out of the house. For US, date nights are really important.

Re: How often do you & DH go out?
Ok to clarify for myself, when DH and I go out/get kicked out by my parents, it has so far only been for like an hour or so. Catch lunch together, go for a walk, whatever. We have pleny of date nights at home too, where we catch a movie after DS goes to bed, or we just hang out and chit-chat and catch up. I think we sit on both sides of the fence on this topic...or actually o guess we sit on the fence. We both feel that it is really important to spend as much time as we can together as a family, but that it is also important for us to have some time to ourselves as well...whether we go out or stay in for that time.

In the Catholic church you are taught, Faith, Marriage, Children, in that priority. Hazel might be coming off a bit strong but she is not totally out of left field. I have been told the same by professionals as well. I personally put my marriage first.
Anyhow stepping out of this, because I don't care at all if people go out or not. I know what works for me and my family.
Yes, yes, yes.
I never said I CARED what other people did. I was stating that I have heard this order of priority for awhile now and while at first it doesn't sound right (putting your children last???!!!), I totally understand after having children and raising them for years. I can see if you have very young children and think it sounds like their needs should not be meant first. That is not what it means and as your children get older you will see how important it is to take care of your marriage as it is good for the marriage itself and the children to see that you make the relationship with their mother and father just as important.
