What do you think about boys night out? Do you think that girls day out (with the kids usually) should even be compared. What would be an equal trade off?

Why are the girls going out in the day AND dragging kids along? Why can't the guys go out in the day AND drag the kids along too? The kids would probably love to spend time with their dads! I think most men who object to "their" women having a night out like they do worry that "their" women are doing the same things they do on their nights out. I know several married couples where the husbands gather to watch sports on Sunday or go golfing while the wives go shopping or to get mani/pedi's -- no problems. It seems to me it's the couples where the husbands have a regular boys' night out that have problems and you have to wonder why. A lot of men use their children as sort of a monitoring device, thinking that if Mommy is dragging kids around with her, she can't be going into bars or flirting with guys in line at the movies -- which is not to say that's what you'd be doing, but that's what they are afraid you will be doing. In answer to your question, the only equal trade-off would be for the girls to have their night out without the kids probably on a night when the guys are home so they can take care of the kids or for the guys to switch their nights out to days out AND bring the kids along.

Every now then my husband has a boys night out. If you have girls day out with the kids should not be compared because really if you think of it is just like running into friends with your kids. If you live close to family that you trust you could have girls night and guysnight out on the same night. If not one week you could do a girls night and he watch the kids. And then the next week you watch the kids.

I'm not married : P But I have a good opinion to share anyways.
I think boys night out is as harmless as the "boys" involved. If they just gonna play poker and have some beers that's all good and fine. If they gonna goto a strip joint or get completely hammered then thats a whole different story. So it all depends on all depends on the guys.
Girls days out are great, and they usually are alot more sedate. There no reason why you can't get a babysitter and take a few hours off. Maybe pamper yourself at the spa or a nice dinner and drinks out.
I don't see where ya need a trade off. You should just do what you enjoy doing, and with whom you like. So long as you not offending your partner by your actions and they not extreme there's no harm.

I think that boys night out is not the same as when we go out for the simple fact that we have our kids with us all the time. so my answer to that question is no they should not be compared as the same trade. what we should do is make a ladies night out and then leave them with the kids at least for like 3 hours just to start it off. And if it goes well then you know keep doing it. Maybe like that they will realize what its like to stay home and take care of our kids. You FEEL ME!

boys night out should equal a girls night out. An afternoon with the kids is NO comparison!!! As an old married lady, I'd limit both girls nights and boys nights to about 1 a month each--just to keep your marriage on track. I know its hard to arrange, but a couple's night out is a good thing too!
If your'e a stay at home mom, its even MORE important to get out of the house without the kids once in a while--esp. to chat with a friend and have a drink (note--I don't think getting drunk is good for mom or dad--even on their night out!)
good luck

An equal trade off would be a girls day or night out and he watches the kids for you so you can go out and have a good time! This would only be fair!

Boys night out equals girls night out. Girls day out with friends along with kids aint no day out. I enjoy when i go out with my son and friends but us the ladies need a day off once in a while and do something we like and have fun, just as men do. If my husband wants to go out with a friend i wouldnt mind, as long he is not those type of husband's that think women should be prisoners at home and they can have all the free time.

A girls night out would be an even trade. Or why not take a night out together. Leave the kids with a sitter. That's what my husband and I like to do.

Well, if the guys get a night out without the kids, then the girls should get the same, a night out without the kids. This is where you tell your husband that "they're YOUR kids too!" Dads have equal responsibility in taking care of children. I hate it when a dad says he has to babysit his kids. Excuse me, that's called being a parent!!! Babysitting is what you do with other people's children, not your own.

Really i think there no equal trade off because when i go out somewhere even if its to the store my husband is calling telling me the baby is crying and this that and the other.
