    i notice a huuuuuge difference in DD1's behaviour when she has one on one time, it doesnt need to be with me, can be DF.
    and the onoly time i can seem to manage it is when DD2 is having a nap.
    good luck hun, its not easy keeping the balance

    Thanks girls. I was thinking maybe one afternoon after work when DH or I can have Miss S for an hour. I'm just trying everything atm. I know it's an age thing too.

    i love the one on one time i get with DD...whichis all the time at the moment casue im not due for another 6 weeks. But i worry that i will miss that special time so much when #2 comes along, i think i will probably miss it more than she does

    It definitely gets harder the more kids you have! When dd1 came along, ds and I would have a special morning tea every day after I put his sister to bed. We also used this time for reading books etc but I didn't take him out or whatever for special one on one time if that makes sense?

    Poor ds gets nothing now, dd1 doesn't have a day nap so she is around all day too. I have special one on one time with dd1 when ds is at daycare on Wednesday's and dd2 is asleep. I have special one on one time with dd2 on Fridays when the older two are at daycare.

    Definitely harder the more kids you have
