We were told the same thing, its best to not discuss kids when we finally get 'alone' time, but like you said - the kids are the GLUE that holds our family together so it wouldn't be right to shun them from our thoughts EVER :) Love the blog! <3TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425835517709513975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579968894730645186.post-46076034186873688482012-03-11T18:47:50.140-07:002012-03-11T18:47:50.140-07:00I completely agree!!!

And we most certainly talked about our kids too:)Katie@SomewhatSaneMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00043039747504268020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579968894730645186.post-85071805169279663732012-03-11T18:22:02.979-07:002012-03-11T18:22:02.979-07:00We don't necessarily miss the kids when we are...We don't necessarily miss the kids when we are out alone on date nights, but we certainly talk about them. We talk over their quirks, and the dreams we have for them, and the way they've made us better people even as we're becoming better parents. I think it's when parents don't have anything to talk about BESIDES the kids, that there are problems. But not talking about them at all would be like Bill Gates not discussing Microsoft while he worked there. :)Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965729605798967342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579968894730645186.post-12191640818586986802012-03-11T08:42:10.835-07:002012-03-11T08:42:10.835-07:00I'm so glad you had a nice date night!

They are what makes "us" us."<br /> Exactly the same for us. My husband and I went out last night and we had a great time. Halfway through our meal, he glanced at me and said, "You know, I miss the kids." I smiled. "Yep. Me too."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
