They have two children and we now have three. And about twice a month we serve one another by babysitting.
The way it works is that they will tuck their sweet ones into bed and then either my husband or I will go over to hang out at their house and keep an eye on their kids. And they go out on a date without having to pay for a babysitter. Then a few weeks later, they reciprocate and one of them will watch our kids while we go out on a date.
It is such a simple way to give to one another (and also receive a gift of a free date, too!)
Ryan and I very much look forward to our nights out when they babysit and I know they feel the same way.
Do you have a neighbor or a friend you could arrange a babysitting swap with? I guarantee you will enjoy it!
what a sweet thing to do. Yay for date nights!
