A maximum of once a week, if the "friends" are all guys and they are not going to strip clubs, or to bars to chat with women. And he is not going to get roaring drunk and come home to be a problem to his wife and kids, or spend a lot of money that would be needed by his kids. Preferably a maximum of twice a month, actually.
If the times out are above-board it can be good to give a couple some breathing space. And it would be nice for the man to give his wife some time away from the kids too.

As you did not specify is he having a "mans' night out. every couple of weeks is ok. Depends on how many children and how much he sees them. Do you work? Need space. It is hard if you are left at home with the kids while he gads about. Everyone needs a night out to relax. So answer those questions and you will find what is acceptable. Sit down and talk it out. YOu need a night out too. Some guys get carried away so do some gals.

If your man has a family he should be spending time with them when he married he gave up his single life style. I would say if he is going to go out at all it should be with you when you get a babysitter for the kids. So I would say never why should he be able to hang out and drink with his friends while you sit at home taking care of the kids. If he wants to do this he should have stayed single. If he works full-time then the remainder of his time should be spent with you and the family.
I have 3 sister in-laws and they all are with someone and have kids when they get off work all they do is come home because they miss the family. I think once in awhile if he wants to go fishing or golfing etc. with his old friends then that is fine but that should be maybe a two-three day trip once a year or every 3-6 months.
He is a family man! I do not even have kids but when I do want to go out it is with my wife. Or we go visit with family.
Maybe it is time to ask him why he wants to get away all the time?
God Bless and Good Luck!

When a man has a family his priorities must change, he needs to grow up. I don't think that it is acceptable for a man that has a family to go out with his friends on a regular basis. He has children and a wife to spend his time with. If he is gone with his friends, he sends a strong message to his children that they are not as important to him as his friends are. If his friends have wives and children they should come over and spend time with your family. People work so many hours every week that they need to give as much time to their family as possible. When they are out with only their friends too many things can happen and sometimes they forget they are married. You need to tell MR. PARTY that he needs to keep his butt at home and grow up, and start acting like a dad, not a child.You have children a you don't need another one over 18.

It is acceptable for a man to go out with his friends as many times as he wants so long as it is not badly affecting his family. There is no certain number. Just like different kids have differet curfews. You need to talk to him. Because it sounds like it is badly affecting the family, and if it's not and you're just a little jealous or you feel annoyed because you're preparing dinner everynight tell him that you guys need to switch nights. Like you can go out with your girls on Friday adn he'll take care of the kids saturday adn on sunday you all stay home and have a family game night or something. Basically the only thing you can do to fix it is talk to your guy. =) People on the internet who dont know you or your husband or your kids cant do anything to help you. Talk to him!

I would say once a week, but then the woman in the relationship should also have a evening where she is free to go out and he looks after the rest of the family, but a both should also be fair a not come home to late, and also not drunk.

As often as he finds it acceptable for his wife to go out with her friends and he is watching the kids, excluding week-ends when the whole family should be doing something together !

It really depends on who he's going out with and how comfortable you're with it. It is definetly good to have some space and keep your friends. Just because you have a family doesn't mean you have to give up your friends. You should have a girls night out and he should have a guys night out. Just make sure you spend lots of time together. Your family comes first.

None. He should be happy to spend the little free time he has with wife and kids! My husband maybe goes for a drink after work with workmates once every few months, but just for an hour or so.

Talk to, I am assuming, your girl friend or wife about it. Depending on how things are with your family should help determine what is acceptable.
