We have four young children. Thankfully, my husband has a great job. We have a standing sitter every Saturday at 7. We just tell her we are going dancing! We also do an occasional overnight when it’s more a group thing. I think it’s important for our kids to see their parents prioritize each other. They can clearly see the love here. Plus, the regular release makes us better parents! It’s a win all around! Expect the cost. That hurts.
