An idea for “individual time with kids” — my sister has two kids, and she and her husband take each kid out on a date every other month. So, she and kid #1 have a date while husband and kid #2 have a date on one month; the next month, they switch. They usually go out to dinner or get ice cream with the focus on talking to each other. The kids love the chance to be able to share how they are doing in the one-on-one environment — and as they rarely eat out, they love being able to have fast food or restaurant food!
