How do you divide you time amongst your children?

I can see what you are trying so hard to do,but maybe by taking just the two Nanny is mising out!maybe it would just be better for you all to go along and have a family outing,all five of you.Maybe a picnic or a walk ,just something simple is fine.Children are funny and sensitive too,and maybe they feel they are being left out in turn for a reason that is unknown to them.I wouldnt worry about spending quality time with each child individually ,as long as you spend quality time with all three it doesnt matter if its together or not!!Just enjoy your time together ,and have a good time with Nanny.PS..ive run out of sweets..maybe a licorice humbug will have to do!

Hi, we have three boys too, 3, 6 and 9 and its very hard to spend individual time with them. And in fact, after a day of being with them, having them in bed sleeping is the best time because of the beautiful silence! lol I moved in with my adult daughter and her three sons to help out and we still have trouble with alone time with each one. We are attending child guidance counseling so we will be better able to handle raising the kids and our therapist says that we've got to spend individual time with the kids, especially the two oldest because the youngest is special needs and requires a lot of both my daughter and my time and attention. So, we aren't doing so great at the individual time but the therapist says that even if its just an hour that it is very important and we must try very hard to do it. Sometimes we take turns and take one kid and go to the library or just to get an ice cream cone or even a milk shake at Sonic or something. We are trying to incorporate this into our lives.
