about that or have you kind of just taken it like it sounds, a space value, and it means date night happens in your relationship, which that's great.

That's fantastic.

Totally pro that.

I just want to hold space for maybe the couples, men,

women listening that are like, you know what,

I'm in that boat. I'm in that boat. When my, when our son was really

itsy-bits-y tiny, we got more date nights than we do now. Which in my head I thought

like that would be the hard-strapped time but it's crazy because when they're little potatoes they're like potatoes and but they're alive and they shit and they eat and they sleep and they giggle and they play and they cry and they eat and they shit and they giggle and they play and they cry and they eat and they

shit and they sleep repeat but you know there's there's a system down if you've got
