How do you make sure each of your children get that one on one attention? I really focus on trying to give each of my girls one on one time where we leave the house just the two of us so they get mommy alone time. This is most important for my almost 3 year old who gets jealous of the attention I spend on the baby. However, I think it's important that DD2 gets the same amount of time with me. How do you manage?

Over time it seems less and less important. She's happy to come and sit next to me while I nurse the baby. He's happy to sit in my lap while she "dresses me up".

I have learned that you give each child what they need. It may not always be equal and that is ok

At first I stressed about it, trying to make special trips with just me and my oldest. But, like @T.H.O.U.: said, as they get older, they don't need as much one on one time. I still give my oldest one some alone time with me when after her sister goes to bed, etc.

We're divying up activities now, so DH does the daddy & me swim class with my youngest while I hang out with my older one, and then we switch for soccer!
