I have lost total freedom after having our baby. My wife makes sure I get home as soon as work is over - I have lost my time with my colleagues after work, friends and even relatives. I feel trapped. What can I do?

A baby does change everything. What worked for us was having a routine for the baby. So our son now goes to bed by 7-7.30pm, so we make sure we're home to see him to bed. But after he's asleep, we have the evening free - to spend time with each other or meet friends/ family for dinner etc. Work after drinks might be tough but it doesnt mean your social life is dead. If one of us is tied up and cant be home at 6pm-ish, then we make sure the other parent is home early to put him to bed. It requires a bit of coordinating and some compromise but it comes together eventually!
