[quote=Anonymous]The primary effect that our second child had on our marriage is that we have less time and energy for each other. Aside from a few rough weeks during the newborn phase with #2 when I hated my DH more than anything I've ever hated before (I was sleep deprived and had a terrible respiratory infection), we get along the same as we did before our second child was born. If anything, we're even more of a team now that we have 2 kids. However, we are both exhausted at the end of most days and carving out time for each is much more deliberate than it used to be. We've also had to divide and conquer more now that there are 2 kids. We try to do things as a family as often as we can, but sometimes it's just easier and more logical to split up and each take a kid when there are errands, bday parties, sports practices, etc. on the weekend. When we had only 1 kid, we did a lot of these things together. [/quote]
