Alone Time

I haven't dealt with it, as my daughters are 2.5yrs. apart and the youngest is just a year old. However, I think it's wonderful that your two want to be together. I see no reason to push the issue of alone time with either you or your husband if they don't want it. However, you may want to consider enrolling each of them in a seperate activity class of some sort through your parks & rec department just to start getting them comfortable with being apart from one another. But with two years to go before the oldest goes to school, there is no hurry.

well you could do something together as a family like a park like disney land even for young kids you could go shopping skating and then after awile together go of for like thirty minutes with each kid that way they wont fill that there being punished i hope i helped and best luck to you

Ahhhhhh you have angels that love each other, that's so sweet. I love that they are close too, they will eventually want their own time when the get older, absolutely without a doubt and for about 2 more years you'll be fine, in the meantime do not worry and enjoy the harmony in your family. You might want to take them together to parks, or on play dates so they can get more comfortable interacting with other children, just a thought.

Advise you enjoy the family unit and drop the idea of trips 1-1 etc.
Take time to do a puzzle together, read to just one etc etc in the home when the opportunity arises.
No need to separate them - that comes soon enough!

Total agreement with the others. Enjoy the togetherness. Kids demands don't change really till they get older and they have more personal things that they wouldn't want to share with the rest of the family. Enjoy being a family and doing all those family things before they are all grown up and would rather spend time with thier friends!

My 4-year old recently had this same issue. There are times that you can tell that your children need time alone with you, but it shouldn't feel like it has to be every day or week for that matter. Also, if they enjoy playing togther, let them have alone time togther then you can enjoy some time without having to entertain.

When you do have your 1:1 time, talk about it and help them to explain what you did, what they enjoyed or disliked about it. Then encourage them to tell thier sibling when you get home. This helps bridge that gap between being together and being apart.

Hope this helps.
