Yes! definitely. Last Monday i took just my 6yo to the cinema... just him and I... I also usually go shopping with 15yo DD once a week, just us...and my 3yo has me all to himself when the older kids are at school. That will change this year as he starts full-time kinder... but I will definitely make arrangements for us to do something, just us, once a week...even if it's just a babychino and a smartie biscuit together at the local cafe.

When i was a kid i also never really recall having special 1-1 time with my parents. It made me feel disconnected I think. I find that making this time does pay off especially engaging their co-operation for the rest of the week.
