Mom and dad time starts a 8pm we will have dinner together have a shower together watch a movie together on friday nights we will have a drink together and play poker on the play station with music playing.
We have 3 kids wanting 4! And what we do is take one day a week for sure and go out either to supper or even maybe just for a drive just to talk and connect it doesn’t have to be anything expensive. Or make sure your kids are on a schedule and maybe make bedtimes at 7:00 and then set aside time from 7-8:30 or what ever just for the two of you. No cleaning no other distractions just the two of you! It’s hard some times but definitely worth it!
Routine!! My kids go to bed at 7:30 then 7:30-10:30 is mommy and daddy time. We don’t hesitate to get a babysitter once in a while either. They’ll come when kids are asleep and we’ll go out.
Staying up with each other after everyone's in bed to chat, watch TV, and just have "us" time. My husband works shift work and 4 on 5 off and 5 on 4 off, so when we see each other where we both aren't exhausted is pretty rare. We dont live near family but the occasional date night is great.
It’s so difficult! We don’t have anyone to babysit so we mainly just spend a lot of time together as a family. When the kids nap we binge watch shows together and play trivia.
