We are in the same boat as Glatt. Evenings are pretty much out, but when we can, 2-3X a month, it's worth the wait. I didn't want RugRat to be the couch potato type, so we don't have a TV in the kitchen or livingroom. Our VCR/DVD player is in the finished basement. Because getting to watch a video is a special treat, and for a 2.5 yr old she has an especially long attention span, we use a video when we need some alone time and it's not naptime. We easily get 30 min, sometimes over an hour before we hear her heading up the stairs. Lately we've been getting the last morning sex we can in before she moves to a 'big girl bed' and can pop in on us anytime she likes. Nothing like a good shag to set your day up right. Probably going to have to start drinking
instead...
