One on one time with each child

Advice please - if you have more than one child, how do you give one on one time to each child? Or how did your mom do this?

I have three and I’ve always thought time should be spent together as a family but I’ve been told that not giving one on one attention to each child can cause resentment.

I’m wondering how I can do this?
Do you take one child to the mall and leave the others at home?

Well how old are they? Because if they go to school then I think keeping them home on their birthday and doing whatever they want to do that day is a good core memory for all of them. And then if they have their own sports that you attend, or maybe each night spend 5 minutes before bed asking them about their day and what they want to do tomorrow?

One on one time is super important, that’s when I’ve gotten to learn about my children the best tbh. Usually I put one in their room or let him play in our play room. He’ll a snack and his favorite toys and I’ll hang out with his twin and then we switch. Or sometimes my mom or spouse will take one twin out and spend time with him while I do something with the other.

Erectile disfunction, mental 42yrs+

My husband who is soon to be 45 is showing signs of not getting erect as quickly, not keeping erect as long as he used to. He has been stressed with work, lacking sleep ,had some depression, suspected diabetes because of some related symptoms etc so I know these factors wouldn't help. Wondering how common this is with other men 42 years plus? I'm yet to have a heart to heart with him about it. I started to suspect he might be cheating but I don't think he is.

IV

Did anyone refuse an IV during labor? If so, did your doc or the hospital try to force it? I’m due May 11 and my doctor is now refusing to deliver my baby because I don’t want an IV. I also don’t want fetal monitoring and he stated I need to do it bc I owe it to my kid. He was fine with it my last appointment and then today he has a huge problem. I also don’t plan on going to the hospital until I am like ready to push. I want to labor at home for as long as possible. I know the reason for the IV. But I’m low risk have had no problems, so there is not a real reason to think something might happen and I might need an IV. I do also want to add that if it becomes medically necessary then of course I will get it. But I don’t want it just because something MIGHT happen.

Shouldn't call your ex a sperm donor

Sperms donors are donors, your ex who pumped and dumped isnt. It's just insulting to actual donors

Pregnancy

I don’t know if it’s my hormones but I really want to have another baby, I don’t know if I sound daft but the second I gave birth I was constantly saying I want more, I don’t know if I just want to relive the days from my baby being a newborn or if I want another child it’s just constantly on my mind, I’ve always said since a child that I wanted 10 babies but I will not be carrying that number out! Maybe 5 🫣

Line eyes?
