How often do you leave the house as a SAHM?

Depends on my mood and how busy the week is. A couple weeks ago my daughter and I went to TN for 3 days and when we got back she had a doc appointment the following day and I had one the day after and then the next day I had to get groceries. This week though, I am trying to stay home as much as possible even though we have something every day except Thursday 😅
Maybe once-twice a week. I do our groceries online with delivery which saves me a ton of time. I work from home so I’m often busy but we have a big fenced back yard with a playground, kids pool and ton of other fun stuff so my daughter is playing there all day. During the winter we have a big playroom for her to play in. On the weekends we try to go out and go to a park or something fun. Once every 2 weeks we do a date night (dinner + cinema) while my MIL watches our daughter. Maybe once a week I go to the doctor/lab as I have a few chronic conditions that need monitoring. Honestly I’m a home body and if I don’t have to I prefer to stay at home taking care of our garden with my 3yo, play with her or doing house renovations.
Up until our second kiddo, I’d leave the house w our toddler every other day at least, but until our new addition gets her 8wk round of vaccines I’m staying home w her and hubby takes our toddler out 2x/week (don’t wanna keep her cooped up, but with RSV and everything + interacting w the baby we’re trying to limit exposure to things as much as possible)
Every other day at least
Some days it is just a walk around the block or play time in the yard. Regardless we try to get our sun shine every day.
Every weekend sometimes throughout the week if we have appointments or going to visit family.
If going for a walk counts , then everyday. We live in a small town so we usually stop in one of the shops on our walk to see people too.
I take my school age kids to school and that is a great push for me to go run errands and shop. I will also take my toddler to a play gym once a week. If I want to do something by myself, I wait for the weekend when my husband is home but I usually just want to be home with him. I honestly wouldn’t leave half as much if I didn’t have to lol
3-4 times a week
Every day
Like 2-5 times a week but it's cold so I don't really wanna go out there with a 1.5 yr and 2mo lol
Okay so when it was just my toddler, almost every day. Now that I have a 3 mo old too and it’s super cold outside it’s definitely just 1-2x/week. When he’s older and it’s playground weather again, we’ll go out much more often.
@Favi 🐄💕 I’m in Texas and it’s been too cold for me to let my 11 month old out in the backyard.
If I don't leave the house then both kids are miserable by bedtime and since I have to put both kids to bed alone thats not going to work. The baby will also get very cranky when she doesn't get her morning nap outside. This winter is going to suck.

Really depends- we used to be out every day but more recently we go out maybe a few times a week. I get our groceries delivered. Library, Play museum, or the trampoline park mostly make up our weeks, especially when it’s cold. I’m also a wee bit depressed so when I’m like this, we go out less.
At least twice a week
At least once a week usually. Sometimes more
Daily, or pretty close to it. I go insane. My son goes insane. We need it 😂
5 days a week
I go out twice a day
2 to 4 times a week
2-5 times a day 😂
We walk pretty much every day. I would say we really "go out" about 4 times a week, usually one to two of those times is with my husband.
Once every month or two
4 or 5 times a week
