I'd like some help in how other couples manage to find 121 time with each other.
We are struggling to find time for each other, usually the only alone time is when we get to bed quite late after teenager has left us in peace by which point we are tired - there are 5 kids between us from 5 to 15 so full on each day with both working ft, school, after school activities and usually part of Saturday and Sundays taken up with activities for 2 or 3 of the kids.
We have decided on setting aside a weekend each month where we would get a Saturday evening/ hopefully a night away alone although there is never a time when we don't have at least one child overnight. The first of these overnight stays has been reduced to a few hours on a Saturday evening due to activities needing to take priority.
It's a full time job both of us pitching in doing household chores.
Family already help lots with looking after kids.
How do others manage to make that time for each other or do you just reduce your expectations?
