Pardon my whinging, here... but if I had a social life, I doubt I'd be on LJ at 9:30pm on a summer Saturday night. Nothing to do otherwise, other than (as suggested by patgreene) fold laundry. Sigh.
That's a hard one, I'd like to think if I drove I'd go out to the social events on my own once the kids had dinner. But, that hasn't convenced me to drive yet... So I try not to complain about the isolation (not very good at NOT complaining).
If I could get a ride, I'd talk to my partners and make sure it was ok for me to leave, and go without them. It's harder to pre-plan this way, exspecially if you want to make sure the kids are settled down so your lovely lady doesn't have to worry there.
As a practical matter, this means that I can't leave the house (with or without Pat) until 8:30pm on any given evening. With a few negotiated exceptions. So events that happen between 4-8pm are usually a no-go.
