Hi there...am I weird....took ms to the circus today, es didn't deserve to go, as he never tidied his bedroom when he was told (days ago....) and ys is still a bit young....and I really enjoyed having just time with ms at the time...!
Took es recently with me to germany, whilest dh was off work, so, he looked after the 2 lil ones...and again, really enjoyed that...
Have one to one time with ys anyway, when both his brothers are in school/Nursery and he isn't....and try to do nice things with him, too, then...
It's so muhc more fun to spend one to one time with them...not that I don't enjoy them all...but if we have a outing with all 3, one is always moaning and whinging or being naughty and spoiling it...but then I feel I should probably enjoy those outings as much...but well...one to one is so much easier!
Sorry, bit of a rambly post, not sure if it made sense at all, if not...I am sorry!

Don't be sorry ...
I too, enjoy one to one with my kids ... especially with DS because he is 6 and great company and at school all day (DD, at 2, has loads of one to one)
DD is asleep now and DS and I have just had a great game of scrabble - we both enjoy the rare occasions we have on our own ...

Thanks for your reply!
Got to say, I do look forward to the days when we can play a boardgame as a family and when things will be easier to do with all 3 of them together...at the moment I feel that my youngest just needs me for most of the time , say if we go to a playground and the ms, so, poor ole es sometimes gets a bit forgotten (generally do try to take one of his mates with us, though, so, that he has a play mate and company!
It's just ahrd to get that balance right eh!
