My dd will be 4 in two months time, I have a 2y3m dd and a 7mo Ds. I spend almost all my time with all three of them, except for when dd1 is at preschool for three hours mon-fri.. Or if I have a bath, pop to the shops etc. my do works full time but we do our best to spend time as a family at any given time.
I just feel like I want to try and so more one to one with them especially with eldest girl.i want to maybe have a date day when dp can spend time with the little two, then switch. I'm Breastfeeding Ds so a bit limited but just something like the cinema, hot chocolate just us. Invest time in her one to one. And with my second daughter too. Then my boy. But more so the girls as they're older.
How do I do it and be fair? They are very close as we do a lot together. They are always together. So I don't want to make them feel left out but I also want to get time one on one.
It's sometimes easy to forget that they are developmentally different, being 19m apart they're also close. They enjoy the same things but on different levels so how can I get the balance?
Dd1 has a big interest in stories, drawing and learning. Dd too but more so my eldest. How can I get the balance?
