Thanks
Its nice to know that other people have the same views as myself. I do much prefer to go to lunchtime BBQs etc, and spend my nights at home with DS. We are homebodies too. We do have the very occasional night out for Dinner to a resturant, but home quite early, around 8.30. I am 33 and just way over parties. I find that friends with children seem to be much more understanding in this situation, than friends who dont. I guess when they become parents, they too will understand just how precious little ones are.
