[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two girls - older DD was a few months shy of turning 6 when younger DD was born. Older DD adored her little sister from the moment she was born, and it hasn't changed 3 years later. DH and I also both work full time. What we do differently than you, OP, is we totally embrace divide and conquer. We carve out sometimes that we all spend as a family -- weeknight family dinners, brunches on weekends, outings like a hike, stuff like that. But a very substantial amount of our time is one parent with one kid. Everyone is happier -- the interactions and the outings are all more fun. I don't even understand why folks are resistant to it. [/quote] We have the same approach for our two boys (5.5 years apart), and it’s worked well. My sister and I are almost six years apart, and this is what my parents did with us, too.[/quote] DP here. Because I don’t want to spend that much time apart from my husband. [/quote]
