IM so in need of a date night Mom Logic, Because My Husband and I have not went on a date for OVER 10 years now. We always said we would. But then, We would not have a baby sitter, or we would not have the money. But we couldnever just go out. The sad thing is. I just found out I Have Lupus and Fibromylgia. And with this news came some pretty bad depression. I have not been able to smile much or even the want to do much. A date night would give me and my husband a very much needed night out. To reconnect. To remember what it was that made us fall so maddly in love 14 years ago. My daughter is now ten and are son is now 8. We have not been out with out the kids ever. And this would be awsome. I also think it would give me the chance to talk to my husband about things we never get to talk about any more. Sometimes I swear all we talk about the last few months has been if im feeling ok, or if I need anything. And he has done so much for me and the kids since I have been sick. I am blessed. And I know my Husband would sure love a night out with just the two of us. So thats why I feel I so deserve a night out with my sould mate.

Me and my fiance could use a date night because my fiance insists that if we go out our kids must come with. We rarely ever get out alone. We also never have a babysitter, my mom isn't in my life and my fiances parents are too old and crabby to watch our three kids.
We desperately need "US" time. And a little pampering wouldn't hurt either. I also don't work so a night out really cuts into our budget. Winning this would be awesome.
Please let us win so we can have a fun night out.

Where do I begin? I am a mother of 4 loving children and a great husband! Of course all days are not ideal, but I love my family and my life!!! Date nights are a rarity for many reasons...1) finding a reliable babysitter for 4 kids, 2) finding time to be alone, 3) saving $1000 to pay for a babysitter, dinner, & a movie;o) Me and my husband have been married for 11 years and we have 2 daughters (10 & 7) and 2 sons (twins-6). I stayed home with my kiddos for 8 years and really enjoyed being there for them...taking them to preschool, dance, soccer, basketball, t-ball, violin, guitar...the list is endless. My husband coaches high school basketball, so he is very busy from October to March. We try to make it to all of his games, but it is difficult when we need to be home to get ready for the next day and stay on our bedtime schedule. The past year was very busy for all of us. Now that all of my "littles" are in school, I started teaching again. I am a part time P.E. teacher for kindergarten - 4th graders at a charter school. I love that I can still take all of my children to school, run errands, go teach, and then pick them up to begin our busy activity schedule. I am also a full time student getting yet another teaching certification. Me and my husband have remained close and have been able to continue our nightly family dinners, but it would be great to spend some alone time with my husband. We sit together after the kids go to bed so we can talk about our day and reconnect...but my husband falls asleep and I finish my homework and then we start again.

There is not enough space on the net to type why I need a night out. I could echo every mother on the planet for every mother needs a spa day. Every mother like me in thease hard times who can't afford to buy normal itams let alone the extra's and keeping up with the jone's went out with the wash water month's ago. when you cry your self to sleep because you can't get 4 pair's of sneakers to keep up with the rich kids in school and you know how important that is to young girls and it breaks your heart but still your just greatfull your children are all alive and healthy because you know there is someone else with a sad song worse then you!

Well, it is just like the add for this contest says - no time, no money, and precious little energy to work on romance! We both work constantly and fight the bills without ceasing. I love my husband, but know we should be taking more time for ourselves and each other. These times bring us all closer as we stand together to survive the daily grind. Sometimes the intensity of the problems around us becomes too much. I've begun getting hives from just looking at the bank statement!
It is hard to stop working long enough to be a good mother, wife, or lover. Our family would love to have a date night. My husband and I could look at each other and laugh, and the children would love to have happy relaxed parents! It would be beneficial for the entire family. Thank you for putting something like this together.

Ok, I am 54, a grandmom, and I need a date night. Why would you need one, you ask? Well, let me explain. I had 3 children, and my middle girl died,so now I only have two. Those two are 30 and 24 and they live with my husband and me. But wait, there are more in our home. Our wonderful son in law and adorable, super cute, sweet, beautiful, smart, funny, only granddaughter live with us also. The economy has taken it's toll on living situations for our whole family so we are all together. Next month my daughter will give birth to a new baby boy, so we will have another little one here. My son is 24 and he also lives with us-saving for his own place. So in our two bathroom house-and you DON'T want to know how we survived when we all got the stomach flu this fall!-we are all stuffed in and it is one noisy, busy, crazy place! Add animals and it is a zoo! So.....it gets to be so many people and no alone time-for my husband and me, for our son, and for our daughter and son in law. My husband and I could use time alone together. We have been married for 34 years and love spending time with each other. My daughter and SIL could use time alone also. So this could be used for our whole family. Oh, we could use some special time alone and some peace and quiet! We all love each other but wow, this is always being together!

My husband and I have 5 children and have been married 9 years. His job can often have him traveling for weeks at a time. Next summer he will be gone for three months. It is difficult but after the first few days we can get on a schedule and do well. I do not have family nearby to help.
Even when he is home it is hard to get away. Between T-ball, Baseball, Soccer, Swimming, and football, our time is pretty much all taken up with the kids. If we have free time it is to do schoolwork because we are both going to school online trying to finish our Bachelor degrees.
He is the sole provider and any extra money goes to buy stuff for the children or have a specail day with them. We get a date night maybe once a year if we are lucky and use gift certificates given to us by family for our birthdays. I am a mom who is guilty of ignoring her husband and giving all of my love and devotion to my children while neglegting my hubby.
We married two days after my 19th birthday, he was 25, everyone thought we were too young, but we have proven them all wrong! But that's not to say I don't miss the freedom that most young 20 year olds get to enjoy. I love my kids and wouldn't trade them for anything, but I would so appreciate the little break!

We just moved for the first time since my daughter was born. We may never finish unpacking. I need a break.

We'd love a date night! My husband and I don't have much free time and the time we have together is spent with our kiddos so it would be nice to spend a night out alone together! Thanks for considering us!

Oh where to start. I think my husband and myself deserve this date night for a number of reasons. Our life has been a crazy whirlwind for about a year and a half. Last year at this time we were seperated, we weren't seeing eye to eye and I had an illness at the time that I had no idea of. After years of wrong treatment, and trying this med and that med. I finally found a doctor who figured it out that I am bipolar. Unfortunatly though the treatment he put me on turned me into a different person to say the least. And not for the better. We have two little girls and this put us all through alot of crap. I didn't want to be around anyone, nothing made me happy, and I feel like I missed out on a good 6-8 months of my girls, and husbands lives. I ended up kicking my husband out, turned away from everyone. The only thing that could possibly make me smile were my girls. Well finally after a grouling 6 months of this terrible mix of medicines I realized that I didn't want to be without my best friend, husband, any longer. He stayed by my side and never gave up on me because he knew it just wasn't me. Thank God!!!! So finally after finding the most amazing doctor I'm better, and we're together. But shortly after my huband like many others lost his job. So we had to move once again, and this time it was to his home town. Where we figured he would have a much better chance of finding a job. I got a serving job as soon as we got here and worked my tail off, still am just to help make ends meet. My husband and I feel like we are single parents again because he comes home from work and then I leave. I dont' return home from work till midnight or so, and of course he is zonked because of his long day then being the single dad and waking up at 6. All we do is work and it's starting to take it's toll on our relationship. We live in a two bedroom apartment as well so we're all on top of each other and it's stressful to say the least. So please when looking all these over please take us into consideration. We would so much appriciate a night to focus on us. Thank you for your time and for consideration.
