Struggling to watch TV/ relax together, or do anything together!

When you’re struggling to spend any time together as a couple (have one year old & four year old and no grandparents), then when you attempt TV time, both exhausted when kids finally in bed, but you can never agree on what to watch as tastes are TOTALLY different on this! We’re currently in separate rooms watching separate TV programmes. We sleep in separate rooms because I can’t cope with the sleep deprivation that comes with DD’s 5am starts to the day combined with husband needing to go to toilet 1-2 times in the night every night (I’m a light sleeper).

Need some strategies. Babysitter did evenings sometimes, I guess, though we often don’t have the energy. Wish we had more in common for TV etc.

Compromise on TV and take turns choosing the show? Always have 20 mins to cuddle and chat before going to separate bedtimes?

Yes we struggle with finding programmes to watch together too.

Not a lot of advice, sometime we use up all our evening flicking through the menus!

I guess the answer would be to do something other than watch tv
