Karaboo2 -> RE: Do you and your spouse spend a lot of time together (7/25/2008 9:17:44 PM)

I can't remember whether I actually posted my reply to the question, or just answered the poll ... and since I'm too lazy tonight to go back and check, if it's a repeat -- sorry y'all!! We spend a fair bit of time together, but we also maintain our separate interests. He goes out once or twice per month with the guys who share his passion for model railroads, and I go out once or twice a month (the opposite weeks) with some gal pals to a scrapbooking session (aka crop night). We are expecting child #5, so it is quite rarely that we spring for a babysitter in order to go out together (it'd cost more than the dinner and movie out!) But, the kids go to bed quite early (7ish), and dh currently works 2-11pm, so I get some quiet time in the evening, and then I stay up with him an hour or two after he comes home from work. We're going to get a whole bunch of extra togetherness once this baby comes, though. Since we're in Canada, the gov't will pay for 35 weeks of parental leave for him (I'm already at home, so I wouldn't qualify). So he'll be home until sometime in April/May. It'll be nice, as planning visits with family, etc. will be much easier (won't have to worry about shift changes, etc) Right now, I'm looking forward to all that extra time (and help with the kids) ...
