[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 256203, member: 3388"] Sharon, I can definitely relate to this!!! husband and I used to really enjoy an occasional meal out. However, the difficult children made going out to dinner a living HE77. We decided it wasn't worth it. We haven't taken our kids out to dinner in a very, very long time. When the economy was better, I would give the kids dinner early on Friday nights and send them upstairs to do whatever they wanted to do. husband would bring home take-out and a movie for us. Although it wasn't ideal, and definitely not peaceful all of the time, it was still a way for us to spend a bit of time together without the kids right in our faces. Sorry the kids spoiled the evening for you and husband. I can understand your frustration - I agree - At 11 and 15, they SHOULD be able to behave for a meal out:angry:. It always bothered me too. I hope today is a better day and you and husband get some peace and quiet this weekend... WFEN [/QUOTE]
