For me, if I had a child, I would figure out what it was worth to me to have someone come take care of my kid. If I really really wanted to go out sans child, I'd come up with the amount of money that would be equal to how badly I wanted to go out. So, if hubby and I really wanted to take a date night, and came up with being willing to spend $35 to do so without the kid, then I'd do so. It's all about the moneys.
Check and see if your local YMCA has a childcare program. The YMCA here in Asheville does, and once a month they'll have a "parent's Night Out" where they will keep the kids from 5:30-9pm. It's somewhere around $15-20 per kid, and even if you don't have a membership you can get one cheap or almost free. The Y really wants members, and is against turning people away for not having enough money to pay... at least the Y here in Asheville.
