We arrange a babysitter, book a hotel, arrange a club night for the babysitter to cancel and leave us frustrated. Honestly it’s hard enough to get a couple of hours for a date never mind anything else. |

We took a day of annual leave last week and paid for a holiday club for our daughter, just so we could go to the cinema together  |

We did that when the kids were at school and the school rang and said our youngest was throwing up. It’s like we’re not meant to have any time together. |

We have four kids, and as we like to play in hotels, we would play when we knew our kids were having sleepover with family.
Obviously got easier when they were old enough to look after themselves but then the questions would start. You'd think they were the parents at times.
It's still hard nowadays because they all have partners and kids of their own, so we never know when someone's doing something we should be attending, so it's still tricky at times haha.

We don't have family to have our daughter for sleepovers or really any childcare. It's just how things are..... |

We were very lucky in that regard, our brothers and sisters all had kids around the same age so we'd send ours over to them one weekend only to have to mind theirs the next. Swings and roundabouts haha. Don't know how we'd manage without the help we recieved, we were very lucky.

Well mostly we've failed spectacularly in this regard.
But then we did chose to live some where with no family close by so there is no easy child care for weekends away. But on the plus side we have no family living close by... so swings and roundabouts.
Well roundabouts. No swings because of aforementioned child care 🤣

"It’s particularly hard when going to a club and you can’t have your phone. I keep having to go to the locker to check for any phone calls or messages "
Yes! I just find that if they're left with a babysitter, I can't really enjoy it. |

We got round it a few times by Ellen meeting couples on her own but this stopped after a meet where she felt she'd been regarded as a free pr0stitute.
We arranged a babysitter a couple of times but it felt weird discussing where we were off to etc. plus the need to keep checking our phones in case there'd been an issue.
So most our meets were limited to the few times the kids went to stay with family. We probably over compensated whenever we got out 
Of course all along we thought we'd make up for it once the kids grew up and left home. Except by the time that happened we realised we'd grown old and can't much be arsed  |

I'm not a couple but a single parent.
I often have day time meets when the kids are at school or I get a babysitter of an evening and go out for a few hours locally.
I generally don't do hotels or clubs so keep it to hosting or being hosted.

This can be a real problem and there's no perfect solution for us but when possible, and usually daytimes, we'll go to a club or pre arranged meet but in the evenings we mostly meet solo. We have both found it an incredible turn on for Jane to meet guys whilst Mr is looking after home life. Particularly when he gets a video sent of Jane riding some guys cock 
Mr doesn't meet single women out of personal preference, even though Mrs keeps suggesting it would be very hot. Instead he meets other guys solo, often at gay saunas etc.
It works for us  |

It’s tricky as hell
Get so many messages from people who don’t seem to understand we have work and family commitments and then get disappointed
Thankfully a lot of cool swingers who understand life can be hectic
This is our escape from the norm and not our everyday routine |
