I want more?

Question

Our weekends are often the same. Friday evening we share a nice meal and a good wine. Saturday and Sunday we stay at home and just do nothing exept watch tv in the evening. Can anyone give me suggestions as to what activities we could do without spending a lot of mone? We do not have a baby sitter so we need to bring our kid whatever we choose to do

Answer 1

Oh honey, can I relate to you! We, too, spend most weekends at home as we have a 14 month old that costs more than we realized!

For entertainment, we rent movies and watch them after she goes to bed, take her to the park to feed the ducks and play on the swings (we sometimes take a blanket and have a picnic lunch there as well), take walks with her as a family in the stroller,or browse the outlet mall without trying to buy too much.

Is there a weekend play group in your area? Do you have friends, grandparents, or a neighbor that have children about the same age that you could do things with? Could they watch your children so you and your husband could have a night out together?

Good Luck and I hope that I have helped you!

Answer 2

Oh the possibilities :)

1. Go for a walk together.
2. Go to a chinese buffet. (Cheap everywhere)
3. Buy some board games and play them.
4. Do some artsy stuff like a mandala together or other projects to get the creative flow going.
5. Go to the park.
6. Go to the pet store.
7. Try the museum, art galleries, and so forth.
8. Learn to play PS2 together and compete with one another
9. Read to each other.
10. Play bed games while baby is sleeping.
11. Play some cards.

Those are just a few...I am sure you will come up with som great ones on your own.

Who doesn't want more? Unfortunately, that's the way life goes. Once the excitement of young love is over we all settle into a routine that revolves around family life with the children. You could have an affair but what would that solve. A few moments to go back and be sexually excited, for what? What would that solve and you might become pregnant or get a STD. Just be happy you have a good husband, healthy children and a home to come back to. How many people in this world have little to come back to because of war and hunger, etc. I would be very happy to have nice dinner and a glass of wine once in awhile. Be happy, life is to short to be miserable.

Answer 4

Day trips out with a packed lunch - go to the park, the country, sight seeing, museum (most childrens museums dont cost a lot and entertain the kids while you get to have a laugh with hubby), cinema, bowling. The list is endless.

Answer 5

take walks, play games, invite company, go visit someone, adopt an old person and give them a hand or invite them to eat with you, leave shopping for the weekend and ask your husband to help you with it, create a family project, like redoing a peice of furniture, go to the zoo, work a puzzle, build something together...go to the bookstore and look, go play bingo ( I won $500 a week ago), go to a museum, watch someones child and see if they will trade babysitting so you and your spouse can go out sometime, even if it is a short period of time. Ask your family for suggestions....too

Answer 6

Try bowling. You can take the baby and it's good exercise. Rent a movie. Ask a relative or friend to babysit so you can get out once in awhile. Swap baby sitting duties with another couple with a child so you both get nights out.

Answer 7

YOU NEED TO FIND A BABYSITTER!! I know it sucks finding one but you 2 NEED that time alone together. You could play some Monopoly, go put put golfing. You could even cook a new recipe together or bake cookies together. A really fun game that my fiancee and I play is we take turns passing back and forth a notepad writing down romantic/sexual things, and we cannot say a word to each other while doing it. It sounds corny but it really works!! Good Luck, and I hope this helps!! :)

Answer 8

Most parks, museums & zoos are free or cost very little.

If you have a friend or a relative with a child and you trust her swap taking care of each others children one night a month. That way you can go dancing or to the movies or just going to a club to listen to music.

Answer 9

A night out at the movies. Take the kid but be prepared to make him/her behave. It will be difficult at first but the child needs to get used to going places and behaving. Our kids went everywhere with us. Look for local (or within a short drive) arts festivals, fairs, etc... Usually lots for the kids to see and do and they don't cost a lot.

Answer 10

Dear....

It seems to me that you are full of hapiness!... and a little more of imagination could give you the paradise!

Try to walk together... only walking and watching what you see; what seems to be wright and what seems to be wrong... and do not forget to ask in Yahooooo.....

Try to read some good books and discuss it. For example, theories about the Universe formation... interesting to know something about ourselves...

Try drawing what you see. Get some color pencils.... and do not give up, cause the more you draw, the more you learn about people and their behaviour...

Do you remember that subject that you intend to learn about? try it...

I tried to show up some options. Did I?
