guilty feelings about using babysitter?

I have been separated for 7 months and my husband has my 2 kids, ages 6 and 13, every other wknd at his home, plus sees them some during the week, mostly at my house. There are stretches of time where I have the girls at home with me almost 2 straight weeks b/c of this arrangeent. So...once in a while, I would like to hire a babysitter on a weekday or weekend night when it is NOT his turn to have them, but I feel guilty about it. Is it appropriate to go out by myself only when they are sleeping at his house? Or is it kosher to go out once in a while when they are at mine?


I have some

if, when you ask if he wants the kids while you go out, he pulls the, "they're your responsibility", then HIS LOSS! I know TONS of dads who would MOVE MOUNTAINS to have more time with their kids. If he isn't one of them, then hire a babysitter and HAVE FUN!
