But, it is necessary. @Michelle I'm glad there is hope :-). We also have a nanny who has the energy to hang with him which makes it easier to leave him, even for a couple of hours. Before, one of us always had to be home to look after him. @Nicki It is hard to constantly remind oneself that we were before him came because he takes up so much. But, it is necessary.

My boys are now 4 and 2½. We are starting to get our social life back. You loose touch with the friends that do not have little ones running around. We can now leave the boys at a granny or godmother, and enjoy an evening on our own, or a deserved visit with friends. What we also do is over weekends, invite some friends over in the evening after the boys have gone to bed which is about 7pm, then have a poker/black jack evening. In doing this, we can have a fun evening with friends, without having to stress about the little ones, as they are tightly tucked into their beds. Good luck!! Oh yes, I have also been there.
