My fiancé and i have been together for 5 yrs. A year ago we moved in together, and had a beautiful baby girl. I also have a 7yr old from a previous relationship. My problem is although we have a great relationship we are bored on the wknds.fri &sat as well as all day sun we are pretty much home, running errands, or watching TV! My oldest daugher leaves evry wknd w/her dad. We literally went from going to clubs, poetry café's and movies to being home bodies. We are both 28. His family is in Florida. We have no one to baby sit. Except my sis once a month( she's a nurse & works nights almost every day,as well as has her own 2 kids. What can we do, on the wknds, to keep form being home, bored, and get the monotny out of our relationship?

Take an online cooking class and make friday nights your big cooking night, get a bottle of wine, a fun recipe and make it a big deal that you both look forward to each week.
Hike it over to a local park with your kid(s) or join a group of parents/kids that gets together socially (start one in your home) Do dinner for kids and parents at your home then the next week someone else does it, and so on.
What about movie night where you each take turns picking the movie and suprising the others with which one, popcorn, a fun desert or snack (try a tray of your family's favorite apps)
Take on a project whether its home improvement or crafty stuff for your wedding (centerpieces can be a huge project) It will give you something to look forward to together

My fiance and I have been together for 3 years and we have a 2 year old. We have lived together for 6 months now. We dont have all the money in the world so we just rent movies every now and then. WE sometimes sit around without the tv on and cuddle after the baby goes to sleep. Sometimes we just take drives just to see things and get out the house.

Ok -- I'm 29 and a mom and what we do is play a lot of Dance Dance Revolution. It is silly as anything, but if your guy already has a playstation, it could be a ton of fun!
Also, cooking is fun. We make a big deal out of eating special things and drinking beer or wine. We joined netflix and really like to watch a lot of movies at home.
Take your kids as many places as you can so they get used to being out in public. We do that all the time. Depending on where you live, a good website to check out is gocitykids.com. It lists family friendly events for a bunch of different cities.

Rent a few sppoky videos and pop popcorn and cuddle up on the couch! Take your mattress and take it into the living room ahd have a weekend camp out with your man! Put a tent up outside and camp out with him all weekend! Anything you do together is the important thing! Close to home for your babies sake! I would definetely find a very very reliable sitter so that twice a month you and he can have date night and have time just for each other! Run a hot steamy bubble bath by candle light and take a romantic bath together sipping wine as u go! Body massages with scented lotions......use your imagination and go knock his socks off!!!!

Sounds like its time for games!
There are soooooooooooo many different board games and card games you can play together, even video games that can include the youngest of the family.
take advantage of that one nite that sis will take baby girl and hit the town for a romantic dinner, just the 2 of u
You can even put her to bed early on fri or sat nite, cook a nice dinner and eat by candle lite,
Serve dinner in something really over the top or nothing at all (dont cook naked tho, can be hazardous!)
Just need to put your mind to it to be creative Ruts can get deeper and deeper an ruin a relationship

And that is the reason I never want kids. Sorry, that situation sucks, why don't you guys look online for fun day trips(ghost towns, exhibits, family markets, bazaars, etc.) in your area, you can bring your kid and make a day out of it.
_Now for the 2 adults_
Hit a porn shop and see what they got . . .games, movies, try something new. If you end up not liking it, it will become a funny story later. Good Luck.

Look at the Friday newspaper and look for events in your area for families. There are many fairs, parades, museums. Get out a go! Just cause you have a kid, don't let it bring you down. i would also suggest inviting a third partner into your bedroom.

You are achieving natural gravity. You're getting to the place that you normally get to.
It takes discipline to not take the easy way out and watch tv all weekend. You have to force yourselves to get up and get out again.
