[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids, one 3 and one still a baby (30 month gap).  My baby is a breeze, but the older one is a challenging kid.  With our first, who took longer to sleep through the night, the main challenge was dealing with crankiness in the middle of the night.  With the second, I am not sure if there is one single factor, but it is much harder.  Maybe pelvic floor pain has made sex less fun, so we are both just less connected with each other.[b]  Maybe I got a bit more of the baby blues after I went back to work?[/b]  And the 3 year old is just. so. much.  So it's hard to get a break from the kids, because it's hard to have both kids with one parent for too much time.  And then it's hard to take care of each other, after spending the day taking care of the kids.  We still love each other, so I think we'll get through this, but it is very hard for me.[/quote]

Post-partum depression can happen any time in the first year--mine kicked in after I returned to work. [/quote]
