It seems that many husbands fit into that category whenever they are kid free and want to do what they did with a free afternoon as a couple BK (before kids). The problem is that AK (after kids), a wife is a mom too, usually an exhausted one, so SLEEP is often the first thought on a new mom's radar. We're able to get out a bit more often now so we take turns planning dates. If we only have one date in the near future, we each discuss what we'd like to do and try to accommodate each other's wishes into that time if possible. If we don't have time and/or finances to do what both spouses want, we'll schedule a time when we can accommodate the wishes of the other.
