Hi all,Google didn't give much insight into this, so I thought I'd ask the pros. I have massive Mum guilt having a night out without my kid and haven't done so in the five years I've been a Mum. I can understand that dating my husband could have some benefits but well....... I suggested the concept to the kid like "You know how fun it was to see Toy Story 4? Well they put the Mum and Dad movies on at the cinema at night time, so if Dad and I want to go see a new movie that means we need someone else to read you some books for bedtime and just hang out in the loungeroom until we get home. What do you think about that?"Tears. Quivering chin. Tremor. Stuttered out his words "but book time is my time with you, I just want you to do book time." So I bailed on the idea very quickly.Read something online about explaining it as "the mommy and daddy will be able to love you better too" like wow, rip the kid's heart out. Secondly, the chances of the kid actually getting to sleep with mum and dad out? 0%. Chances of me being too distracted thinking about the kid to enjoy the night out? 100%Been in the same boat anybody? Dads (maybe Mums) how mad does it make you when you're not dating your partner because of the kids? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2KXuuTp
