Today is our anniversary. :-) My hubby's dad insisted that we go out to eat and gave us a gift so we could, and said that he was going to babysit for us. I really want to bring our baby because even if I leave for a 10 minute trip to the store when I come home he is screaming and my husband is a complete basket case. He handles our 25 month old twins fine but he swears that my baby screams top volume whenever I'm gone the ENTIRE time. Now he wants to leave him at home tonight so we can go out to eat alone. I'm just not OK with that. His dad has babysat him twice while we grabbed dinner and he has been crying both times I have returned but his dad told me that he doesn't cry much and just started to cry within minutes upon our return. I don't know what to think, do, or say. I really don't think I will enjoy myself if I leave him at home but I don't think my husband will enjoy himself if we bring him. Should I even go? Should I suck it up and just pretend to enjoy myself? I'm going to be eating as fast as I can and rushing through the whole meal- I know it. I can already feel the anxiety building! My baby is almost 5 months old, breastfed, won't take bottles.

We spent our wedding anniversary this year eating ordered in Thai food with our baby, who was about your son's age at the time. We opened a bottle of wine after he went to sleep. Promise yourself and your husband that next year you'll do something really special, but this year, with a baby that young, a night out isn't going to be fun for you. So don't go. If it's not fun, there's no point.
