The approach to do everything for our children is right but is a little problematic. When we decide to dedicate totally our live to our kids, it is like to give up on ourselves. We consciously say to ourselves that our life is not important.
When we act like this we forget something basic and very important. Our kids will be much happier when we will feel better. It is a fact! if our routine is only a job during the day, and at evenings we dedicate ourselves only to our kids, soon we will be discharged like a battery. So the conclusion from this is that we have to charge ourselves. How to do it? it is simple.
Do you remember how your life before the kids was? I think you do. Most of us remember those days as days when we were free, and we did almost everything that was on our mind. From one side, we can't turn back those days but from the other side we don't have to live only from that memory.
So the question is how to combine between parenthood and the will to live as a young carefree couple. In my opinion, the answer to this question is - family activities. When we will do things as a family (with our kids) it will be possible to claim for time only for ourselves, as a couple.
For example, if on this week we already played table games with our kids, and made a family performance and in addition sat and helped them with their home work, it will be "OK" to go out. Only us , the parents. You may call for granny or ask your friends for help. You can decide that once a week you make a babysitter for your friend's kids and once a week they will do it for you.
