Have kids, need a date night

As any parent knows getting out with just your spouse is difficult, nearly impossible. There are schedules to juggle and finding a sitter then figuring out how to have a low budget quiet night out and pay for that child care without going broke is very difficult. Never fear, I have a way to get you out on the town and not break your bank.

Do you live in a place without a lot of other children running around. Is one of them already your kiddos bestie? Well why not get together with the other parents and swap kid-free nights. This is cheap and fun for everyone, with any luck you might get a full, weekend off. 

Don't believe me? Try it. Have a BBQ with some neighbors and talk yo them about it. You are all in the same boat with a lack of kid free time and in this day and age who has an extra $10/hr to toss at a babysitter?  5hiurs out costs upwards of $50 right off the bat gad that's not including any activities with your significant other. That's enough for any parent to just give up.

Any psychologist will tell you that kid free time is healthy and if the grandparents are unavailable then why not test out the "it takes a village to raise a child" idea. You might be surprised. 

Let's say you get 10 kid free hours with you and your spouse via this arrangement that's $100 in your pocket that practically pays for the night right there.
