As long as your going out is not hurting your child in any way, I see nothing wrong with going out once a week. For me, when my kids were little I didn't go out very much. But that was because I didn't have babysitters readily available and I didn't want to leave them with just anyone. But like Veronica said, girl time is very important when you have little ones. So have fun, be good and don't worry.
When my son was very little the out was together with my child ..
i could ask my inlaw to look after him but i was trying to ask as little times as possible
i can count on my one had fingers how many time i left him
once was when he was under 1
after that a lot of problems happen and she had the nerve to tell me i dont look after my son when others around she ment when her son was at home ..
I didn't work and was all day home with my son and all night.
we were not going out either ..my husband outing was most of the time drive at night with the car and back home ..
I could not understand a lot of English so was not easy to have friends at that time
anyway so when he was home i was taking a little break while he play a little with the child... and a lot of times to do work in the house that was not easy with a baby
so she was seen this i was dropping him to my husband
so i made sure only to leave him for very important time with her .. as i had no choice for that but was for few hours only and not for going out
and anyway my son never liked her he was crying with her
I see nothing wrong to go out sometimes you need a break wish i had that
even once a week not bad for few hours if you can
Ah, well I hope you get some more out time! I think all young parents should. Someone told me that once you have a baby, your life is over. I think it's totally the opposite. Your life has just begun when you have a baby. You just have more responsibility. Everything in moderation.
I agree completely with that whole life has just begun thing. Having my daughter changed my priorities and also helped me appreciate the time I can have to go out and spend with people my own age...Lord knows I practically never did before she was born..I was always making up excuses. But, she makes everything better.

I don't think PS and I went out w/out PBBB for the first couple of years at least. Even after that it was maybe once a year if that. Generally our Anniversary. If we had someone we trust to watch her - Codrus, Stickboy & Satin - when she'd visit - the three of them would make us go
Didn't really feel the need to. We'd done plenty of going out before I got pregnant. We're pretty homebodyish.
Now that she's older we go out more w/out her. Dinner and sometimes a movie. But it's rare. hehehehehehehehehe...... we're boring old fucks and we like it that way.
