Or is that 'anti-environment' since obviously your carbon footprint has got to be huge. ;-) We don't have the built-in family network here and don't go out much 'alone.' That's our choice. I know plenty of couples that have either family or favorite babysitters that are on a regular schedule so they can do date night. Doesn’t having four kids make you ‘anti-choice’ by default?

I know some people who babysit, but it's $13-15/hr in my town. That means that a movie, popcorn, pop and a babysitter will set you back $100. So we don't go out very often either.
