25 hilarische tweets die date nights (na het hebben van kinderen) omschrijven

Sinds jij en je hubby kids hebben is de romantiek ver te zoeken. Het schiet er simpelweg bij in. Maar maak je geen zorgen, dit is de meest normale zaak van de wereld. Leuk is het niet, maar realistisch is het wel.

Deze tweets omtrent date nights schetsen de meest realistische situaties:

Me getting ready for date night:
Shower, make dinner for kids, try to put make up on, get kid a snack, try to put make up on again, do my hair, referee sibling fight, get dressed.

My husband:
Sits in a chair & asks why I’m not ready yet.

The term “date night” is reserved only for those w/ kids.

If you don’t have kids, EVERY night is date night. You just don’t know it yet.

Attempting a stay-at-home date night. The kids stay home too. We pay them $10 to watch themselves. Minus $1 for every question they ask us.
