So you’re going out Mom & Dad huh

OK here is the situation you and your spouse are planning a night out you’re heading out to a swing event some swinger club is putting on what do you tell your kids or better yet how do you handle explaining the clothes your wearing… Let’s just say it is Pimp and Ho night… what do you do? After all you’re not going to tell them you’re in the Swinglifestyle right.
It’s not Halloween how do you explain the outfits or what do you do to avoid explaining anything…
Our kids are getting at that age where they are starting to know more about life which seems to keep getting younger and younger… How do we handle a night out?
First there is the whole babysitter thing… Finding one scheduling one and getting everything set with that. Then there is the outfits or should I say my wife’s outfit … lol the shoes alone seems to take hours and the mix n match game of how does this look… I know it sounds cliché but I swear it happens in every home across America if not the world…
Well from our experience and many others we have talked to here are some ideas and ways of handling a night out.
We have tried the “Oh we have to go to a party for Daddy and/or Mommy work”… depending on the event this one can work.
The one that we have found that works the best for us is Date Night… this is where we set up a regular schedule of evening outings, Not necessarily Lifestyle events just a regular time when me and the wife go out could be dinner and a movie, Vegas, a club, meeting some friends, or a Swing Club… By having a regular thing the kids suspect less cause it is normal for mommy and daddy to go out.
The other thing we try and do is get dressed elsewhere… Sure we have to pick out the clothes before hand and I highly recommend that you do to… let her play how does this look and TAKE A BAG of options… I remember going out one time and we were going to be Austin Powers and a Femme Bot well when she got dressed it was a resounding HELL NO I’M NOT WEARING THIS… so again take a bag of options… it will cost less in the end…
Now you can get dressed at a gas station but depending on the neighborhood you could have some interesting explaining to do… What we and many other have found is the simplest solution usually works best get a Hotel Room… plus this gives you a place to play later… if the night goes well you can have some fun wife swapping adventure…
Of course you could tell them you are swingers but I don’t really know any couples that do this. It’s not really being dishonest it more being protective. Arguments can go both ways on this and even though we have no shame in what we do we still feel the need to protect our kid’s innocence at least for now.
