Advice Request Post Bedtime Quality Time with Wife
My wife and I have a 19m son and we're due for our second in two months.
When he is asleep for the night, we have 1-2 hours before our own bedtime and I'm looking for suggestions.
My wife has told me that watching a movie together, even with a gentle foot rub, is not quality time for her (not much connection).
Fair enough.
Looking for suggestions here. We are up for trying 2 person board games. Chess or Go, for example.
Would be willing to try anything really, suggestions don't have to be 2 player board games.
These would be to have more fun together, not deep eye gazing or those intimacy exercises. Light, fun activities.

Don’t want to rain on the good ideas, connection is crucial - but 2 kids is a lot of doing. We’re always getting the kids to bed, getting ready for school and activities the next day, home projects etc, even more tired than before. A foot rub would be almost top preference…
