Dates
The title of my post today is “Dates”. I don’t mean the kind you eat, I mean the kind you need to have together with your spouse- just the two of you, alone, having fun.
A date can also be the two of you going out with another couple, or more than one couple. A date does not include anything in which you bring your kids along.
A date is usually fun and possibly romantic.
If you are on a date, you should try not to let conversation focus on the kids, this can ruin a good thing.
When you go on a date, your kids may ask, “Why can’t we come?”, and they may act sad…
don’t be fooled!!!
I tell my kids that going on dates makes mom and dad be better parents. Plus they get to have fun without us..and that can be a lot of fun!
I also tell them that if we bring them, it isn’t a date.
Now for my question:
Tomorrow night we are going on a date. We are going to my daughter and son-in-laws house to watch a movie and eat take-out.
Since one of my rules is “no kids”, is it really going to be a date?
I guess we will know tomorrow.
