[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my circle, the only people who still seem smitten with their husbands are the people who haven’t had kids yet (or the couple who can’t have any). I’ve started to think it’s having kids, rather than getting older or being together longer, that really makes it impossible to keep the magic going. Date nights can’t make up for [b]feeling like 98% of the time you're coworkers suffering and bickering together beneath the reign of a small, irrational, easily upset (and also adorable and irreplaceable) tyrant[/b]. You love each other, and feel jubilant and euphoric watching them open presents. But before kids you feel jubilant with HIM. After kids... there’s just so much more to think about, so much more work to get done, that the magic fades. I know it’ll all be worth it in the end — but I wonder... is the letdown just a natural part of kids coming into the picture?[/quote] That is how I feel anyway...[/quote]
