Hi all. Starting thinking about playing again after a 2 year break. In that time we had a beautiful baby who is now 6 months old and we're wondering how people manage to have a swinging life while having young children.
Thanks in advance. Xx |

The only way we manage to get out as a couple is by leaving kids with their grandparents overnight. We don't get out much together. It depends how you organise your playtime really. |

This.
We were exactly the same, took a long break to have our kids.
It's a fine line to make sure we have plenty of quality time for just us, and still keep swinging, so we try to alternate between a "date" night and a "play" night, it just means we rarely get either, but it doesn't bother us too muc, it's just the reality of things. |

When we have a big party night out, we will drop the kids off st their grandparents about 4 in the afternoon, which gives us ample time to get ready without questions. Then we collect them the next day. We used to do this about once a month, but it's more like once every couple of months now.

Me and my sons dad have split so I can meet when he's at his dads, that leaves every other weekend free so time goes to friends first and I try and meet if he stays at his dads on a weeknight mostly xx |

I'm separated from my girls dad so I play while they stay with him which is only during school holidays given the distance between us and neither driving
That or I do have a reliable babysitter I can pay to watch them while I go to my local club or to a rare guy that can actually accommodate |

I am free every other sat night when my daughter goes to her mums. However hardly anyone can meet during the daytime in the week. |

It's all in the planning and then enjoying the time with each other on the occasional time the inevitable happens and it doesn't work out for whatever reason  |

If you can possibly manage it consider travelling to attend a club. It would be so disheartening to arrange a meet and them be a no show (we all know it happens) when its wasted your precious child-free time. Sure you would still have each other which would be nice. But at least if you go to a club you aren't relying on anyone else to turn up, there will be loads of people to meet x |
