What do couples with young kids do on an evening?

This is more of a survey than a question really. We are both 30 years old and we have a baby boy who is 14 months old. He goes to bed between 6 and 7pm which means we are stuck in and both really bored and wondered what other couples do? (please note that we love our son to bits and wouldn't change having him for the world!)


We are sick of watching TV, going on internet, reading etc etc. My main question is: Does anyone else suffer from being bored?What do couples with young kids do on an evening?
I have 4 teenagers and 2week old quads. Weekends are family days but because your baby is only young they could be mom and dad days. Even if its only a Saturday afternoon drop the baby of at the grandparents and go to a movie/shopping/for a meal. Once a month you could leave the baby at aunty/Nana/friends house over night and book yourself into a hotel and do what ever nature intended you to do!!!What do couples with young kids do on an evening?
Our children have always stayed up later than yours. Even at 14 months they went to bed between 9 and 10. While they were up we did things with them, and they slept late the next day. Of course that only works if one of you is at home. If you have to get them up to deliver them to childcare it's a different matter. But you could consider going out at weekends and taking him with you. Our children went to a number of restaurants from young babies. At that age they sleep in a stroller when they are tired.





Other suggestions for after they have gone to bed include jigsaws and games. Of course, you could always practise for when you want to make a brother or sister for him! Sorry, just joking.
Have a romantic evening. Go out of the way to please each other. Romantic dinner, candles, flowers and let the passion you have for each other finish the night.
Sex is good but you might end up with another one.





We wrote some books and got published. Didn't make much nmoney but made friends and had a lot of fun together.
have sex?
This just reinforces the reason why, at 31, i still have no desire to have kids whatsoever and never will have. I know that doesn't suit everyone, but i just would hate the feeling of being trapped. I've got too much to do with my life. I'm not sure what you could do to be honest. What about make some more, lol?
hire a baby sitter
make love
I know what you mean, we play board games... talk and have sex... We do have sky tv so there is usually something to watch or listen to.





Anything to keep you from niggling with each other. Early nights is another we are always in bed for 9.30pm (mon-fri) as our child was four before they slept through.
NO! I watch DVD's, have a laugh and if/as u2 r bored, y not try games?! Either board games or card games or have a few friends round and if that still doesn't work y not try and add a bit of romance between u? Good luck! x
Wash up, go to bed, make more babies.
My fiance is 23 and I'm 18, our son will be 1 on the 8th. He goes to bed at 8:30 every night. We play poker. we play for sex sometimes, you know who's on top or who does other things to the other person. sometimes we play for candy, and sometimes we just play for fun.
get a baby monitor and invite friends/relitives over.





if they have a baby you can share looking after the babes and take turns going out.
spend time with eachother and tha chilldren i aint a dad but trust me that should just work thanks for reading my post if you get it and read it thank you wright back
30 years old and the baby is settled for the night well what are you waiting for you still love one another don't you get some loving going on
I know how you feel, could you not put your son to bed and get a babysitter for a few hours so you and your partner could go out on your own. Even if it is just for a meal, once or twice a month. Then as your boy gets older you could take him with you.
