1) About once a week- He bowls once a week during the fall, winter and spring. In the summer, he gets out golfing with friends about once a week. He also takes two golf weekends a year.

2) About twice a month- I generally hang out with him at bowling once a month and we usually go out for a nice dinner without the kids once a month.

3) About once a week- My parent's babysit the night my husband bowls, so I can either go hang with him or do something else. Once a month I have BUNKO, which is on a bowling night and Mom's Night Out for MOM's Club often falls on a bowling night too. I also am in a book club. Occasionally, I'll meet friends for dinner. I take two shopping weekends each year.

4) Several times a month. We most often go to the mall for dinner and rides (we have a full amusement park). We also go to the Children's museum or zoo quite often. We also loves festivals and hit as many country fairs and city festivals as we can. Other things we do are skating, sledding, playing at the park, going to children's climbing structures, etc. I do all that stuff with the kids during the day but they like to go with their dad too!

I have to say I'm in the minority maybe because we are so young but dh has a boys night fairly often. Never that its something that girls can't go just that *especially now being PG I just don't always want to go. He is also a hunter and he does that with his dad during deer season.

More often we do things as a couple. Its the same group of people just plus the wives/girlfirends. We do things on our own too but usually if its just going to be the 2 of us we would rather hang out at home.

I don't go out with the girls as much though. I don't have too many good girlfriends here so its not so easy.

We don't have kids yet but we do things with our neices pretty often. There is always a lot of "family time" with dh's family.

1. Rarely
2. Alone? No kids? Never!
We cuddle together reading or watching a movie after the kids are in bed every night? Does that count? lol
3. I get invited once a month but have yet to actually go. I'm a homebody. Most of the time they want to do a late dinner or movie and honestly, once the kids are in bed I am wiped out and just want to lay down and veg out.
4. All of the time. Whenever we are all together (as in dh is not working, tdy or deployed like right now ) we like to get out and do something fun.

how often your dh (so) goes out with the guys (hunting, fishing, to the bar or what ever)?He goes out in the evening... maybe once or twice a month at the very most. He gets out a lot more than that though because he is OBSESSED with the gym and goes 5 days a week before or after work. I am jealous.

then how often do you do some thing as a couple?We haven't in a LONG LONG time, but that's b/c I am so pregnant I don't want to go out... But when I am not, probably atleast once a month we have a date night

when do you go out with the girls? My bestfriend is my SIL and she has two kids the same ages as mine, so we RARELY get to do stuff without them. Probaby once a month.

how often do you do outings (park picnic zoo etc.) as a family? Once a month in the colder months, but Spring and Summer its almost every weekend.

how often your dh (so) goes out with the guys (hunting, fishing, to the bar or what ever)?My DH is in two bands, so he has rehearsal 2-3 times a week. Sometimes he has a gig or two as well. But, otherwise, he never goes out - not too many friends.

then how often do you do some thing as a couple? About 2 times a month. Usually dinner & a movie, sometimes I go to one of his band gigs (like this past weekend).

when do you go out with the girls? Eh - this varies. We moved here about 2 years ago, so I try to get out 4-5 times a year. I recently extended a business trip to Tampa so that I could hang with one of my bestest friends & play all weekend - boy, did I ever need that! LOL!

how often do you do outings (park picnic zoo etc.) as a family? Pretty much every weekend & then some. I work FT, so when we are all together, we make the best of our time! Can't wait for the warmer weather so we can hit the park & the amusement parks again. We all have SO much fun playing together!

My DH doesn't 'go out with the guys'...it's just not his thing. I'm not sure he has any 'guys'. L.OL! He does go out with work collegues every week, dinner with clients, golf...activities like that. If his brothers or cousins are in town...he'll go out with them. He does do some volunteer work, so if he's in a meeting for one of his committees and they decide to go grab a drink afterwards, he'll do that.

We go out almost every weekend as a couple. Sometimes we do stuff on our own, sometimes we meet up with other people, or go to a party etc

I see my friends every week (sometimes more than once)...whether it's me and one other person doing some shopping and having coffee, or six of us getting pedicures and lunch. I LOVE MY FRIENDS! It's great to be having a long day and call someone up and be able to sit at a great place and have a glass of wine, relax etc

I really don't know how often we do 'family' outings. It really just depends on the time of year, the weather etc. Like yesterday we went to church together, went to brunch etc Was that a family outing? I have no idea! It was fun! We had a good time! L.OL! I'd say probably a few times a month we do something all together. I often take the kids on my own to museums or the zoo or aquarium. Then maybe DH one weekend will take them to play lazer tag or to the movies and bowling...stuff like that. We're very spontaneous. We'll just decide to do something, like drive to another state to see something and just do it. Dh is very good at that, I'm more of a planner but I go with the flow!
