The Doc's XH is still in the hospital, essentially waiting on a heart transplant. I won't bore everyone with the details but that obviously means he can't take his son during his scheduled time. The Doc now has her son full time and unfortunately that means we don't get much alone time any more. I can come and go as I please when it is not my week with my girls but the Doc, not so much. Her mom lives in town and might take him one night a week but she is 75, not in the best of health, and is limited.
Anyway it's just kind of frustrating. Outside of hiring a babysitter for the evening or a drop off place there is really no other options. We can't even take a trip together over a long weekend. so we just end up sneaking moments here and there. I know in the grand scheme of things it really isn't that big of deal but when you think about couples dating before kids they got to spend several years together, having all the alone time they wanted before kids were introduced. I guess when you are older and have young kids it just doesn't work that way any more.
