Having your own life with DH when you have kids?
DH and I went out together for the first time in almost a year last week and had a wonderful time. I know we ought to make more time for each other and make the effort to do things in the evening without the kids, but I just can't seem to get past feeling guilty for being out without them, even though they're home in bed! And worse, we have been invited for brunch with an old friend who's visiting Dubai in a couple of weeks - while the thought of going with DH is so tempting, I feel really bad that we'd be leaving the children during the daytime when they'll be awake for at least a couple of hours.
I'm aware this probably sounds faintly ridiculous, but we have seriously only been out alone in the evening about five times since DS was born and now just the once since DD was born. We've never been out in the daytime alone.
I guess I worry what will happen if DS wants me, and I'm not there (DD is too small to notice!). I'm sitting here thinking how ridiculous it sounds even as I'm typing! Of course this is going to happen at some stage over the next 40-odd years :D. But honestly, do you ever stop feeling bad about going out alone and enjoying yourselves together? Am I just being neurotic?
