It's my day off and I'm sitting with my son at physical therapy. I thinking back to when he was a boy. When they were younger it was 4 to 1. Four of them all wanting my undivided attention. I created private opportunities to be alone with them. Eventually that turned into date night when I started stabalizing financially. In the begining it was park, beach, book or beach time.

It didn't have to cost a dime. They just wanted to be all mine for awhile.

Find a special time for each parent to celebrate each child. It will hugely impact their feelings of self worth.

By the way, now that they are all grown up they schedule date nights with me now. It is a beautful thing.
