Spinoff question from the getting out with your SO?

Question

When you do get out on your own, do you talk mostly about your kids? Or do you have other things you can discuss?

Answer 1

i agree with the first post, it depends on who we are around...if its just us, we talk about our kids as well as other stuff. if we are around friends we dont talk about them so much, especially if they dont have kids themselves, but if we are around other family we talk about them more.  

Answer 2

if im with my BF, we act silly, laugh, talk about her daughter. usually i start it by looking at my phone where her photo is my wallpaper and ill say ' look at her, how beautiful is she?', he'll talk about work, we'll comment on the people around us, the food, etc

Answer 3

If it's just me and my fiance, we don't really talk about the kids.  Unless it's a story about something that happened while the other one was gone and it just popped in their head... Like "oh, I fogot to tell you that Julien did this yesterday..."  and then there's usually a chuckle and we're back to the conversation we were having.

If we're out with other people, we talk about our kids.  Yeh, we're THOSE parents!

Answer 4

We talk about everything!  Mainly start with plans, goals, what we want to do....leads to ideas of how to get it all done...if alone and just us.  If just us and we have a situation at home that needs attention we will also address it.

If with company we also talk of all things....trips, hunting, the new house, and if brought up the kids.

I have been married for 9 yrs. and talking about our children isn't the only thing we discuss.  Especially in public or when out with others, who cares what are child is doing or how smart, good looking we think he is....and I don't care to discuss others children the whole night.  

Adult conversation is important.  And essential if you are a stay at home mom like me.  On a side note when my Best friend and I get together we do talk a lot about or kids but again it isn't the whole of the conversation.  

May you be blessed.

Answer 5

I find that most of the time I talk about my daughter... I do however try to find something else...It is weird...

Answer 6

Having asked the "getting out with your SO" question, i'd love to answer this one.  We talk about the children a lot, of course we do!But we also talk about work and finances and the business we just bought and what we will be doing that night, or what we did on our date the night before, as we travel home. It isn't about getting away from the children, really. It's about having time together. There are too many excuses to run in a thousand different directions, and all too often we don't see each other until we fall into bed at night. For us, it's more difficult now since we sleep in shifts to take care of the twins and both go to  work the next day. THis is why we do it. Because our relationship is sacred to us, and we work hard to keep it goingstrong. Hope I answered this well enough

Answer 7

When we are out we almost always talk about the kids, the house, things that need to be done for both. It is our life and there isn't much else to it-lol- but we love it. We treasure our time together and are happy just to have the time to talk for a while no matter what we talk about. It would be pretty boring to any trying to listen in!

Answer 8

My husband works from home so he is home with me and the baby just about every day... when we go out we want to feel "normal" and we talk mainly about work, politics, and friends... we don't spend too much time talking about the baby... Now if I am with girlfriends who have kids, our topics usually always include something about the babies and we usually compare stories.

Answer 9

it depends whos company i am in

Answer 10

Hey, my first spin-off!  Watch out Spelling, here I come.

We haven't gone out in months, since my parents were out here when baby was first born, but when we did, Aaron was the hot topic for sure.  We looked at his pictures on our phone as we ate.

Answer 11

Ha, funny :)

We really do try to avoid talking about her because we do so much of that during the day. We call and text each other all the cute little things she does. But it seems like everything leads to talk about her! She's so cute, it's hard not to talk about her!

Answer 12

We talk mostly about the baby. Like...what do you think Landon is doing now, or call and check on the baby, or what are some things you want to get the baby for Christmas. My son is my life, and he is what I love talking about the most. I can't help myself.
