'Quality time' ideas for DC7

[FusionChefGeoff]

I've got a few days over the weekends / summer where it's just DD and I as DS and DH are off doing their own thing.

I'm bad for just mooching at home getting things done whilst she plays so need to have a plan to make more of these days.

She's 7 and I'm looking for ideas of how to make the days feel special / things we could do together - but don't feel too much like DS would be missing out so big day trips eg theme parks / zoos / beaches wouldn't feel very fair.

We'll have a look at the cinema - but she's at that age that she doesn't really come up with ideas it's up to me to introduce her to new things!

It goes both ways! Definitely nothing to do with boys v girls.

We don't tend to do anything as a family if one of them won't enjoy it! And we tend to do things as a family rather than split - which is why I'm looking for ideas here that we wouldn't normally do. Surely that makes sense rather than making everyone do stuff they hate because one likes it??

They do like a lot of the same things so we go for the east life and spend time as a family doing those.

How much sport does dd do?

Not necessarily. If you end up always doing something that one likes more than the other, it'll build up resentment. Especially if that child feels they can't rock the boat and feels they should say they like it to keep the peace.
It doesn't hurt them to learn to take turns, that different people like different things and in a family you have to sometimes make concessions. Also, if you only ever do what they want you're likely going to have a hell of a time when they're teenagers...
