Couple Time When the Kids are Around Pt.2
Thursday, May 31st, 2007I received a comment that some of my ideas for couple time weren’t practical for a couple with a toddler. When I think of toddlers, I think of the way mine craves solitary time and doesn’t mind playing in her room by herself. I forget sometimes that some toddlers are non-stop bundles of energy. So I gave it some thought and here is what I came up with for couple time with a toddler around. Keep in mind this isn’t one on one time, but more like quality time with your toddler included. With the right frame of mind, and a high dose of caffeine to keep you awake, you can manage to get some unwinding, let’s talk about our grown-up lives time out of these ideas. If you have any more ideas please leave them in the comments section and I’ll add them to the post.
Take a walk- this allows you to throw your toddler in their stroller, grab your spouse’s hand, and talk their ear off. If you can muster up enough energy to do this right before your child’s bedtime, you may get lucky and they fall asleep and stay that way for the night. Then you have another opportunity to take advantage of couple time. If you’re to the point of exhaustion and want to sleep when your toddler does, well, there isn’t much I can do to help you with that. (more…)
