E and I have some friends who never once left their baby with someone else during his first year. No date nights or dinners out without the little one. And it's not as if they don't have any nearby family members who could concievably babysat for them. That can't be healthy.
As of this weekend we have had all of 4 dates without baby in his 5 months of life. This still seems like a far too seldom occurance. My parents have babysat for each of these times out. It would be really nice to have a babysitter or two that we could leave little K with on a more regular basis. He's a really happy guy, it wouldn't be that much of a trial for anyone.
Sadly, most of the people we know already have their own kids or are far too busy to do any babysitting. It will probably be easier when he gets older and can actually play with other children. Then we can drop him off at a little friends house while we go out and play.
