Babysitters, what do you tell them?

January 25 2015

Let me explain:So we have only two friends so far who we trust to sit out kids (5 & 1) so we can try and have an adult life for ourselves and get out for some catchups with friends or meet new couples. Both of these friends dont know we're swinging, and we'd rather keep it a secret from them if we can. So, the question is: What do you tell your babysitters/friends/family when you want to go out? Do you have an ongoing story?

    We call it date night but we don't have to have baby sitters coz our son and daughter look after each other ( 18 and 15). Our son asked what do you do on date night and his friend who was over at the time responded ' dude they have sex', the ewww was priceless. I must admit that I have become a prolific liar, to catch up with our sexy couple friends, we use a myriad of excuses such as 'we have recently reconnected with them and they are old school firings, uni friends, they are friends of friends, through Facebook etc.' Now, with most people they are play partners at parties but I want some of our playmates as friends beyond parties too, so I have a couple of stories to explain how we met them when they come over for a BB Q 😎😇 Mary xx

    Are close to the truth..Why not just say you are going to parties and are staying at a hotel overnight or that you are staying at your friend's house...if they ask how do you know them,they are friends of friends xxFreya

    We have 'date night' and generally just say that we're off to dinner and drinks in the city.... just make sure that you both tell them the same restaurant - can be awkward when it's family and they say didn't Mrs HW say you had Sushi, not Italian? oopss.....

    Our naughty schedule is wholly dependent on when we can organize a babysitter for our sons - and it is a bit of a problem as a tryst usually takes longer than just a dinner or a movie. We don't tell the babysitter more than what time we will be back and she has our phone numbers. It is usually the daughter of our neighbor.

    I was the babysitter most of my younger years. There was one very nice couple that I overheard a few times talking about the hotel room bookings I finally asked and they said it was a date night. I knew they were leaving details out by the chuckling. They were nice enough to say they would not answer their phone but gave me the hotel number if there was an emergency. I was never bothered and they were always home by 3am

    lol we always talk about this with other couples at parties and have a laugh! Our babysitters are family members and always like to play 20questions when we get home, so we have learned that we need great cover stories hahahaha We never goto the movies!! otherwise we need to tell them details lolIf we say we go out for a meal we say somewhere like TGI Fridays as its simple and we know the menu and we also use car cruises as they run really late and they don't want to know any details about a car cruise hehehehe

    We use family for our babysitting, usually either my parents or John's. We do the date night in town, dinner, club deal. We love Jamie's Italian in Pitt Street so we always say we are going there. My cousin knows about us swinging (and she found out by accident when I slipped down our stairs and she saw what I was wearing under my long coat and knew we were not going to the movies!) She is fine with it and likes hearing a few details later on. As far as friends we have made and are now part of our "vanilla" lives we have a few scenarios such as old work friends, friends of friends people we have met travelling. My cousin has met a few of our swinging friends and has even helped build the lie fr us at times. We have had a few near misses but have it down fairly well now.

    My mother in law usually grills us for every last detail either before we go out or the next day. So far we've managed to keep everything under wraps but had a couple of close calls with my brother in law asking whether we were going to a swingers club - our response - of course we are, did you want to join us? He thought we were being sarcastic - at least it worked - for now anyway
