It is so easy to get caught up in everything going on around us, especially now with three kids. School schedules, appointments, dance lessons, playdates, and all of the other things taking up time in our lives with small children. Honestly, I am still working on the balancing act. Not only do I have three children to balance, I have my duties as CEO of the household, and my writing. And my spiritual life and my social life, which are also both very important to me. I do have some dedicated one on one time. I take the 3 year old with me to run errands on the weekends so that we have some girl time. Every night before bed I say prayers with each child individually and I read for about 20 minutes with the two older children. Usually separately so it is their own time with me. We have dinner as a family each night and the 5 year old tells us all about his adventures and his day. I’m sad to say at this point, that’s about where it stops. I am terrible at balancing in general! I am focusing on doing projects with the kids, but we usually do them as a group. But even though I’m not able to spend a large amount of individual one on one time with them, I do make sure to pay them each individual attention. We get into tickle fights, play hide and seek, dance, or I just snuggle with them and tell them I love them a million times a day.
Your Turn:
As my kids got older – 11,9 and 5 now, I let them plan in a day out of their choice with me on their own. That may be as simple as to go and get some new clothes and lunch out together, but they love that one on one time and to plan it ahead so they can look forward to it too. My husband takes the boys to rugby games on their own now too and then for a bite to eat afterwards. My advice is to plan. If you don’t time passes too quickly. It won’t be long before they won’t want to spend one on one time with us anymore 🙁 X
I agree, planning is so important! Thank you so much for stopping by today are sharing your experience! Time does just seem to pass by so quickly…Best of luck on your future endeavors!
