If you and your wife enjoyed doing things together before the baby was born then you need to include your wife in mutual activities while your child is at a baby sitter. If you did guys night and girls night before the baby then its easier. One babysits while the other goes out. I found that my spouse didn't have a problem with me going out once in a while so long as she got her time too. The best thing about having an infant at home is that once they are asleep you wouldn't have been spending any quality time with them anyway. Daylight is what its all about when you have small kids at home. If you came home at 9:30pm vs 1 am they wouldn't know the difference.
