Question for those with multiple kids. Do you agree with if you take one you should take them all or is it okay for a family member just to want your oldest for some one on one time.
You couldn't find a babysitter?! Mommas, do you take your kids with you to run errands and go to mundane appointments? On two separate occasions, a doctors appointment for me and today at a car service appointment, someone has remarked "you couldn't find a babysitter?!" It never crossed my mind to find a babysitter. I take my 2 kids with me just about everywhere. They are well behaved (minus the occasional 3 year old meltdown) and one of them is attached to my boob the majority of the time anyway. Am I the only one? Is that a weird thing to do? Do most moms find babysitters?
One food you love most! What's one food you can never get tired of eating.
Selfies How often do you take a selfie of just you? Not one with your kids or SO in it. Just you..
What do YOU judge Clearly, no one is a perfect parent nor do we know everything. But what’s something you judge a parent off of or just irks you?

Oh, of course! I'm sure she needs support and some time with just you. That's tough. I hope she gets support from other family members too!!
And favoring isn't all bad. I meant more it's bad if you consistently ignore the others while showering the one with attention, but even just a small convo about some interest covers that.

@nomli, I lost my mom too. The reason I want to take the oldest is bc she is 15 and pregnant. She is due in March and if I don’t see her over Christmas break I probably won’t get to see her until after the baby is born. Truth be told I do favor her over the others and I need to be better and I think now that I have kids of my own I will be but the whole point was to see her and be there as a form of support during this crazy time.

Well one on one sometimes but I generally do everything with then because they could feel left out.

Definitely do one-on-one. They are so important, as long as you don't always favor one over the others. My last one-on-one with my mom got interrupted by my sister getting sick, so mom promised me we'd have a day together soon. She died that weekend.

@eaj8290, see that's what I thought but my mil is acting like I don't love my younger siblings just bc I want to spend time with the oldest one.

Definitely always give kids one on one time.
