[quote=Anonymous]Do you guys ever divide and conquer with the kids? During this stage my DH would spend a lot of 1:1 time with our older kid while I did a lot with the younger one (it started out that way because of nursing and me getting things done around the house during the younger one’s nap time). By 5, kids can start to be a lot more independent and fun. Maybe DH can start a hobby or weekly “date” with the older one (batting cages, brunch and a movie, a light hike and picnic, etc.). I mean he did want at least 1 kid so he should be able to manage 1 at a time. Also he needs to get some perspective. It’s not like he’s going to have a 5 y/o and toddler for the rest.of.his.life. Sometimes you just grit through some things that aren’t fun. You will have adult conversations again some day. My kids are 5 and 7 now, and they can fully entertain themselves on weekend mornings while DH and I lounge a bit and talk over coffee. It gets a lot better.[/quote]
