[quote=Anonymous]Oh, OP, it was HARD and so much work, and we ciuld not afford to outsource anything beyond daycare (2 FT WOHP).  I tend to think that sone was luck, but i will say this:

I made it very clear to DH what needed doing.  I left him to do lists every damn day.  And he did them.  If i hadnt left them, he would not have realized what needed doing, and in stead of getting resentful i just chored him up.

Iwe did have sex, more than i wanted, less than he wanted, but we did.  I explained to him early on that it wasnt him, but by the end of the day i was just touched out and needed space.  I recognized that he was getting the short end of the stick and tried to becreasonably... Accommodating:-)

We didnt have regular date nights - for ys they felt like more work.  We found some restaurants that we liked, that were noisy enough that a squalking baby wasnt a big deal.  We cut ourselves major slack in the housecleaning, meal prep, and outside obligations depts.

It got much, much better when LO was sleeping longer stretches, and MUCH better around 1 yr.[/quote]
