To Jaralyneve I think you 2 need time alone maybe have someone watch the kids for a few hrs and go on a nice romantic date just do something together I know how you feel I'm pregnant right now with my second child so hopefully it won't be that bad the relationship but we'll see we barely have time for ourselves now with 1 child imagine 2
1/11/2011 05:47:46 PM Report AbuseI really didn't know how crazy and extremely busy our lives would be after we had a baby. Don't loose communication, let each other know how you feel. Make time for the both of you, even if it's just a couple hrs. Let each other take breaks from the kids. I also just started putting our baby to sleep in her crib and that has really reconnected us because now we share the same bed:) Just remember your kids are around now, but before you know it, it will be just you and your spouse again:)
4/9/2010 06:37:40 PM Report Abusemy boyfriend and I have 2 children and have been together for a little over 3yrs. We have a 19 month old son and a 4 month old daughter. We have been thru the ringer and back but lately things have been especially horrible. The sex is obsolete and we find ourselves fighting over every pety thing.he is rarely ever home and I feel like a single mother who still has to deal with the stresses of living with my children's father. I love him so much and I really want "US" to be okay again. Any advice?
