Hes always working so I'm usually on my own with the kids most of the time. And usually dont have spare cash to go out. His shift usually finishes in the evenings so when he comes home he is so tired and just wants to relax. I really think its important for us to spend quality time together. Any advice?

It's so hard trying to get that alone time with your partner. Spare cash is a thing of the past. We don't have many chances to get out with our schedules and having no one to look after the kids. Mostly I stay at home while he goes out and does his baseball. When I hit the wall and need to spend some time we like to just take a walk down by our waterfront, find a quiet bench and just veg there for a bit just the two of us. We can talk quietly without the kids interupting. We also try and just get them to bed early some nights, especially on weekends when we can stay up a bit later. We will put on a movie that doesn't involve kids, pop some popcorn, turn the lights off and pretend we are at the show for a fraction of the cost. During any of these times we don't even discuss the kids. It's just for what we want to talk about. I know how hard it can be, good luck in finding the balance!

I think y'all need a date night. Go out to eat and to the movies or something. It is very important to spend quality time together. I believe that is what keeps the love alive!! Having kids is an awesome feeling and being a mom is the greatest gift ever but you need that alone time so you can relax as well. If you don't have spare cash just go for a walk in the park or something. You can also have someone come pick up the kids and y'all can have dinner at home together and just cuddle and watch tv. Alone time is critical so I hope these ideas have helped!!! Take care=)
