I think it's fine that you go out, but like you said every once in awhile. Don't make it an everyday or every week type of thing. Go out may once or twice a month. Make sure you have the babysitter stay the night at your house just in case. If you drink that night, do not drive.

sure. it is ok. everyone needs to get out once in a while. as long as you have a trusted babysitter and you don't get into heavy drinking. raising kids is a difficult job on many levels. you are not asking too much at all to go out once in a while and have some fun. after all you are only 25. you are just doing what normal people your age do. i feel the need to congratulate you on the responsible decisions you have made to be a great parent by not hanging around in the bars all the time and doing whoever and whatever and just pawning your kids off on someone else. so many people your age neglect their responsibilities and i think you deserve a huge pat on the back for being the great person that you are. keep up the good work. go and take a breath of fresh air and be at peace with yourself knowing that you've been making the right decisions. hope this sheds some light on things. good luck in the future.

I am married, and we still go out once a month or 2 months. We get my mom to babysit and we spend the night dancing or going to the movies or just being able to talk to one another without our little active toddler in the way. Not only is this okay, but I think that it is necessary for your relationship with yourself, your spouse, and your child. Taking time out to do just what you want to do, every so often will actually make you a BETTER mom and person in general. Don't feel guilty. Think of how great it is to get your child back after having a few hours of fun alone. Your child feels that you are not as tensed, therefore all will be better for you taking time to yourself.

Well..... sounds to me like you have a very good head on your shoulders for 14.
Yes it is ok for a mom to go out once in a while... like maybe 1 or 2 times a month. And as long as she is responsible and doesn't bring guys home, or is out so late she is unable to take care of her kid the next day...it's ok.
I only hope hanging out with her friends at clubs doesn't become more important than coming home to the kid.

being a mother of a 4 yr old. hell yes you need to go out, a lot. lol. you have to realize how hard it is. you never have any alone time. especially alone time together husband and wife to reconnect, and that can ruin a marriage if you don't tend to it regularly. even if there weren't any kids. but when you do have kids, all your focus is on them. even parents need to vent some steam, if they are happy, you will be happy too. there is a saying, a happy mother is a happy home. it doesn't mean they love their kids any less. i think it makes them love you more because they don't get burnt out. they have soem time to relax and that will make them happier. life doesn't stop after children ya know..lol. take care.

I think its okay if the kids are okay with being home without the parents. It sucks when the kids are bored at home and the parents are out.
But yeah, i mean once in a while its good to go out and forget about your worries. But not TOO much.
So be balanced, and don't neglect the kids.

I don't fine anything wrong in doing this- marriages need their alone time - as long as you don't do it every day- I mean once in a while is good and necessary to enrich and put some spice in the marriage.

It is not only okay, but necessary. It is important to spend time together as lovers outside of the home. You started out dating and dating will keep your relationship feeling good.
If you are like me and my wife, though, it will take enormous strength of will to keep from calling home every half-hour : )

yes it is OK as long as it does not affect your kids and your time with them. just because you have kids does not mean you can not have a life but also remember to not do it all the time and spend time with the kids too.
