Movie question

[Deleted]

My husband doesn't agree with me. Would you, in order to avoid at $60-70 babysitter fee, go see a movie by yourself? We would each go different days by ourselves. Our normal sitter (my parents and sister) are out of town for 2 more weeks, and I really want to see the new Hunger Games! We don't have a sitter here, but there is a drop in daycare that would end up being almost $70 once we pay the yearly fee they require to use it.

So go separate or together and pay the daycare?

I would not pay $70 for a sitter so I could go to a movie. I'd probably just go by myself/ with a friend and keep Dh at home.

eta: unless of course you think you will use the drop in service again so the fee isn't a total one time waste. 

[TrudyCampbell]

Yes! I plan on doing it on a weekly basis.

[silverjm]

Absolutely. H and I have done this before when our schedules just wouldn't work out to go together.

I think it is totally fine. H would think it was weird.

I don't think we would use it again. My parents watch her monthly so we can go on a date, I don't see us going on dates more than once a month. Maybe is something random came up, but I can't think of anything.

Ok so then nope! Enjoy the movie by yourself

I loooove going to movies by myself! I go all the time. H only wants to see a handful so for those we get a sitter. It's nice to have a little date time.

Going to the movies by myself is one of my most favorite things to do. And hunger games is really good.

[mumegs]

I go to movies by myself all the time, I love it!

[jenbelle]

If both of you really want to see it, I would shell out the bucks. DH would never see a movie by himself, so he would definitely pay.

Right answers, I am going this afternoon by myself!

[Beener]

I have never gone to the movies by myself but now that I am a mom, that sounds heavenly! Lol!

[Dorothy Zbornak]

I even go to concerts alone. Just errrybody get out mah face!!!

[jsillyfun]

Can't you just get a regular babysitter for like $25 or $30? Teenager? I would not pay $70

[steph196]

H loves seeing movies alone!

[unclejesse]

If I ever had time alone where MH could watch A, I would absolutely do it.

We have a $50 gift card to AMC that we got for Christmas 2 years ago. It still hasn't been touched.

If the idea was that I was going to go alone I would wait for a night when H is home and go by myself after bedtime. El cheapo.

[charmediamsure]

I love going to the movies by myself!

[creamsiclechica]

Going to movies and concerts by myself has always been one of my greatest joys.

I miss both of those things the most about my pre kid life.
