Daddy-date meter January 18, 2012

I think it’s amazing how all of my kids have a built-in Daddy-date meter.
I used to worry about trying to schedule a time with each of them regularly – which was a little overwhelming since there are four of them. I would regularly forget or have too many other things crowding my schedule to make it happen.
About 6 months ago I decided to scratch all of my attempts at organizing this. Instead I just let my kids know that anytime they wanted to spend time by themselves with me, I would love to do that. I encouraged them to ask me whenever they were ready for a date with Dad.
It has worked out beautifully. I no longer worry about equality of time or frequency. They let me know when they need time and then we hang out.
