[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Giving this a real answer - during the week DH and I largely hand the kids back and forth and spend very little time together as a family of 4.  On weekends we were in the habit of doing the same - one of us doing the "chores" and the other doing the kids - and it felt like one logistical schedule that was no fun.

So now we all run our errands together on the weekends - grocery, home depot, whatever else that needs to be done and the kids are just fine participating in those activities vs going to the playground or something thats "for the kids".  If our kids were terrors then it probably wouldn't be enjoyable, but they're not and we're all together sat morning and in no rush so we relax and it no longer feels like a chore and instead feels like family time.[/quote]

Unless your children are robots- they would prefer to go to the park. Use a grocery shopping app and take them somewhere fun. [/quote]

I personally find this very indulgent. Everything does not have to be about being 'fun' for the kids. Kids need to learn to get through mundane, day to day tasks like laundry, dishes and grocery shopping.

We teach them about grocery products from different cultures, menu planning and cost planning when going to the grocery. They love going with me or my DH.[/quote]
