Ok so my wife and I are a little strapped on cash and We haven't been on a date night since my daughter was born last march. (8 months for those who counted the months out on yours fingers lol) So for Christmas we decided not to by for one another just buy for our duaghter and family. I want to do something special for her that will allow us to have a date night per week with just me and her. Already have a baby sitter just need to tell her which night. My wife loves to dance and I not so much (two Left Feet). So I figured I would do something that she would never expect me to do and ask Santa (Me) to get a gift certificate for dance classes(salsa, cha cha, etc) for the both of us. The gift card will pay for both my wife and myselfs first month of dance classes. Dance classes start around 730pm so I figured that we could do to dinner and then dancing on that one evening a week?

My question to the ladies out there is Good Idea or Bad?

    I think that's an awesome idea, I think she'll love it as a gift and the fact that it's also a gift that she gets to spend some quality time with you without baby.. not that baby is ever a bad thing!

    This is an amazing idea, she will love it, I'm sure.

    And in the future, since you said you are short on cash at the moment (babies will do that to you) me and my husband get a baby sitter sometimes just so we can stay home alone, the only money spent is on the sitter and the adult beverage of your choice, and honestly, there is no place I could take him that is better than naked saturdays at home with the phones off and the doors locked, lol. Just an idea, it works for me and my husband. It's like playing hookie from parenthood.

    that's a fantastic idea! :) very impressed with your way of thinking! keep it up!

    and i agree with Munque -- a night to yourselves is always a bonus. i don't have kids, but i have two dogs, and we do this with our dogs sometimes. we send them to a friend's house for a weekend so we can have the entire weekend alone. it keeps things interesting for us :)
