[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s fine to give kids some one on one time, but why is she expecting alone time with both parents focused on her? I am the third kid of five, and the only time we got this was once a year around our birthday, both parents took the kid out to eat alone. We did not feel deprived or think the family life should center around us. A family needs to factor in everyone’s needs. One kid should not get all or most of the focus. [/quote] The obvious question is whether the younger kid is getting both parents’ attention at once. But in any event, 5 kids is really different than 2 kids! Not sure the same expectations do or should apply.[/quote] I have zero logistically problems with giving each of my three kids alone time with mom and dad. It doesn’t mean that cumulatively, that child is getting “all or most of the focus” but it does mean that one-on-one time is doable and I think valuable.[/quote]
