Honestly, I don't go. The only thing I do go to is work things like staff meetings because I have to attend them. DH has managed to get DS to sleep a few times recently while I have been at a staff meeting, but before a few months ago, he wouldn't sleep even for DH. He would stay awake until I got home and put him to bed. Which is ok if it's just a staff meeting because I am usually home no later than 9pm (his be time is 7pm). So not too much of a big deal. But to go out, I go after I put DS to bed, and only recently (last 6ish mths) have started going out before his bedtime at all because he would wake up alot through the evening and not settle unless it was me putting him back to bed or having booby. He's sleeping better now so it's not so bad. But I don't often go out without DH and the kids, maybe 2 times in the last year or so, so it's not such a big deal for us.
