That is dumb-it has to be give & take. She goes out with her friends and I’ll stay home with the kiddies. Everyone is happy.

Agreed. Make sure she knows what she's getting into ahead of time. It minimizes complaining later on. When you are in throw away relationships you can say whatever you want, but when you are in something you want to keep you will make sacrifices. Just take the precautionary measures to make sure that they are not too great.
