Recently, I find my husband and I have fallen into a "parenting" routine. First, don't get me wrong... I wouldn't have it any other way because spending all the time we can with our princess is precious time that we cherish. BUT...I'm also an honest person and I love my daughter more than life itself but I love my husband too and we don't set aside "quality" time for us. Every older person I know keeps telling us to set aside a few nights a month and go on a date to dinner or a movie or whatever and we really haven't done it yet!!! We will get ready, drop Fraser off at my parents or with my MIL and we will get to the restaurant...and then it hits!!!! We both miss Fraser and so we eat our food and head back home to get her. I knew it'd be hard to leave her with her grandparents but I never guessed it'd be like this.
So, after doing some mini self reflection, I've decided to let Fraser spend the night with her grandparents for the first time, I'm scared ill chicken out but were going to try so WE can have a mommy/daddy date and spend some much needed couple time together. I love my husband more than anything, he's such a wonderful provider for Fraser and me and he's an amazing dad but between him working all day and me staying home with Fraser all day, cleaning, a bulldog and yard work...we're too tired on the weekends to even think about a night out. Being a parent is the best thing that's ever happened to us but I don't want to look back in 25 years and all we have in common is being "really good" parents. I want that fire that's blazing inside us now to still be roaring when our baby is grown!
So, I promised Michael that I would try everyday to let him know he's still SEXY and even though I love him as a husband, I will love and see him as my MAN!! Wish us luck with letting Fraser spend the night away from home, and to all you young parents out there...start dating again now so you'll be the cutest couple when you're grandparents one day! Who knew that dating after marriage could be more exciting than when you are a googly-eyed 20 year old!!
Happy Dating Parents!!!!
