[quote=Anonymous]Our kids are 20 months apart and the first year was very, very difficult for me. We have a strong marriage (I never thought about divorce) and DH is a rock star dad, and it was still very difficult. It didn’t help that my sex drive is basically non-existent while breastfeeding, so we rarely had sex during that time. I was just exhausted all the time, DC2 didn’t STTN until 11 months, and I always felt like I was failing in all the pieces of my life- at work, as a wife, as a mother. DH and I fought more that year than we ever did before, and over petty things like emptying the dishwasher, etc. we also don’t have family help or disposable income to spend on cleaners, which I think would have helped. Once the youngest was STTN and my sex drive came back, things began to get better, and they keep getting better. But that first year was tough.[/quote]
