When they are at home together? We are snowed in and the kids are out. We have 6 kids and I am 24 weeks pregnant. We both work full time during the week and are always busy with the kids. Well today the stepkids went to their grandmas and my kids are at a super bowl party with their dad and our baby is in bed for the night. I thought we could enjoy some rare time together but we are just sitting on the couch bored to death. I actually woke the baby up to play with him so I would have something to do!! I wish he would come up with something, anything for us to do.

When we were young we used to watch movies, relax, play basketball, run, play with our dogs on the patio, swim, have alot more sex (lol), cuddle, go out with friends. That was 6 years ago

You know, after I replied I thought of one more thing - get all bundled up and play in the snow together in the dark! Bring the baby monitor outside, of course...
Quoting Cass052005:
Thanks for the replies! I think we are just getting stuck in the winter blahs. We usually really enjoy our few hours in the evening together after they go to bed but to have a whole evening with nothing planned just leaves us at a loss! We were both previously married, he became a parent at 17 and I became a parent at 19 so we never really had free time as adults. We both have full custody of our kids fromthose marriages and have kids together. We never have really had free time or extra money and I just feel irresponsible enjoying time without my kids even though I really want to! I like the idea of making a list. Cause when I am in the moment I get kind of sad and lazy and can't really think of anything!

Oh ...there were countless ways we used to entertain ourselves! Not to mention Lots and of lots of sex! Haha maybe that's how we got pregnant...but I remember pre-kids there was never a dull moment, everything was an event. It's still not dull, but now it's all about baby...

Before baby I went to work, but at home I slept, read, smoked pot, colored, played on laptop, watched lots of tv.:) have given most of those up, except I still watch lots of tv.

Before kids we did a variety of things when snowed in. Board and computer games, reading, sex and/or cuddling, movies and sometimes just talking.
