🎙️ HEY OTHER PARENTS – Date Night Doesn’t Have to Be Dinner!
This week, we’re talking about date night — and why it doesn’t have to revolve around going out to dinner to count.
We dig into the idea that the real goal isn’t the restaurant, the reservation, or the perfect plan — it’s spending time together. Whether it’s a quick window between responsibilities or something totally unplanned, connection matters more than the setting.
From chaotic restaurant dates gone wrong to creative, low-pressure ways to reconnect, this episode is about zooming out and focusing on the bigger picture: being together.
🎧 In This Episode, We Talk About:
Why dinner doesn’t have to be the centerpiece of date night
Short, low-pressure dates that still feel meaningful
Creative alternatives to restaurants
Making the most of limited time
Romantic vs. practical connection
Multi-part dates and daytime options
The planner vs. non-planner dynamic
When it’s okay to leave the kids — and when it’s not
