Date nights (at home) in lockdown?

Has anyone managed this? Sounds a bit ridiculous, but with FT WFH, “home schooling”, child wrangling and seemingly endless chores, it feels like me and DH are getting less quality time together the two of us than ever before. Before we’d go out once in a while and properly catch up/connect - get babysitters sometimes, or during playdates / sleepovers (I know we were lucky to be able to do this). Now that’s obviously not possible and DC always at home. Bedtimes have crept later as no need to rush out in the morning, and by that time we are knackered, and there’s usually more chores still to do. Plus I am really not in the mood - just too caught up in routine and there seems no escaping it. Lighting a candle in the living room where we have all worked/eaten/grumped all day just doesn’t quite change the scene! Has anyone managed to make the time and create the mood? How do you do it?
