Parenting can be exhausting - especially those first few years, and both Mom and Dad need quality time out - separately for short periods - as men and women are different - and we recharge our batteries differently. Still, you go back - and it makes you a better Dad and that will rub off on your little one.

My wife works 5 nights a week and so I'm home with both kids on those nights. By the time her "weekend" rolls around, I'm going crazy from cabin fever! @James Austin - I think it's great that you're enjoying time with Luke so much! If you're not feeling the pull telling you that it's time to sneak away for a bit to recharge, more power to ya!

During the NFL season, I go to 6-8 games a year with my buddies. I also participate in multiple fantasy football leagues, and we like to do live draft nights with everyone getting together. I also do one fantasy baseball league where we do the same thing. So, pretty much, for me, I get some time with friends pretty regularly for about half the year. The other half I focus on family stuff and work. It works for me. I save up my time for certain times of year, in particular football season.

All kidding aside, I think you got this one dead on. The last time I really needed some alone time I went to a park in the evening and sat under a tree people-watching for an hour or so. After the noise and insanity of the house, I just needed some peace. I came back to the house a completely different guy. The trick is to schedule it, and stick to it, as you said. Also, you have to make sure your wife takes her time too, or it becomes unfair and one-sided. Great post...I'm glad to hear that most everyone agrees with this concept so far.
