[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't.[/quote] I think this poster is being mean, but as a mom of three, she has a point. I don’t agree that massive amounts of one on one time with a parent is healthy - I think it leads to entitled kids. So while you need to make sure everyone has what they need, that isn’t the same as everything they want. You are in a transition time now, so focusing on one on one time might make sense while there is a new baby in the mix. But as the kids get older, maybe they don’t need as much solo time with you as you think. To help with sibling jealousy, I also made sure the older ones heard me tell the baby, “not now, baby, I am with your sister. I will help you when I am done playing with her.” Even if baby was asleep/happy at the time. Made the older ones realize that I DID pick them over the baby sometimes, which helped with the “you never have time for me anymore” feeling. [/quote]
