Many couples say that there kids get in the way. I call them a form of birth control. Kids do take a lot of time and we knew this before we had them, right? Right. The kids aren’t to blame for this. No one is. It’ s just how things work. However, kids DO sleep – so, think about that one. I’m not a big one for letting others watch my kids, but if there’s someone you could trust with your life, then you could always have them babysit your children so you and your spouse can go on a date.
