Raising little ones can be exhausting—your days are long and packed with endless tasks, leaving little time for yourself or your partner. Plus, if you’re on a budget, the thought of a night out might feel like a distant dream. But let’s be real: every parent deserves a chance to enjoy a nice meal and some uninterrupted conversation every now and then. Here are 13 signs that signal it’s high time for a date night.

1. Your partner walks in, and you find yourself thinking, “Who is this person again?”
2. Your conversations revolve solely around: 1) who had an accident and 2) what broke and how much it’s going to cost to fix.
3. Your streaming service’s “suggested for you” list is empty because you’ve watched everything available.
4. The fanciest you’ve looked lately was when you wiped avocado off your yoga pants before it dried.
5. One night, you take out the trash at 9 p.m. and see a couple returning from a date, and you wonder, “Is this Las Vegas?”
6. You daydream about someone setting a plate of food in front of you, and then whisking it away after you’ve indulged—ah, sweet solitude.
7. When asked about recent movies, you find yourself saying, “I really liked Jodie Foster in Contact.”
8. Your partner mentions their job, and you have to pause to remember what they actually do.
9. You come up with this genius idea for a service where someone bathes other people’s kids and puts them to bed, only to realize that it’s called babysitting.
10. You’re itching to discuss the latest political race, but all you can think about is how Romney/Ryan might be making a comeback.
11. A coworker inquires about your weekend plans, and after hearing your list, they remark, “Wow, that sounds like a lot of repairs.”
12. The most engaging adult conversations you’ve had recently have been with Facebook quizzes.
13. You call your go-to babysitter, a sweet high school senior, only to learn she’s just about to finish her dissertation.

If any of these resonate with you, it’s time to book a table at a restaurant that’s a step above fast food and get in touch with a sitter—trust me, you married that wonderful person for a reason!
