Nope, she would stay home with them. If we went on a date, either her or my mom, or another family member would watch them. We are luck to have alot of family in the area.
I honestly think we hired a sitter maybe 3-4 times our married life, so both of us could go out for a date night.
If you were actually planning to go out then tell your W that and then you make plans for your sons.
If this is to prove a point, why?
It seems that the expectation has been that she is with your sons when you go out but the reverse isn't true for her.
It would be a 180 for you to do this.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
