[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m struggling so, so badly with this. I had twins a month ago and my husband and I have worked out a schedule of sorts where I sleep from 9PM-2AM and he sleeps from 2AM to whenever he has to get up for work. His job has him working so that he’s not available to watch the twins until around 7PM and I use that time before I go to sleep to run and take a quick shower or change the laundry, dishes, whatever. So those are the weekdays, but we don’t get to spend much time together on the weekends, either! He’s exhausted so he ends up sleeping in until about 11AM and I need coffee way before then being up at 2AM (having coffee together is our thing), and then we don’t eat any meals together bc we aren’t hungry at the same times with these new wacky schedules. Plus he runs errands etc on Sat and Sun so is out of the house a bunch (doing essential things, but still). Ok so that was probably way too much detail, but what am I missing here? Do other couples just never see each other or even eat a quick meal together when they have babies? That can’t be, right? I miss my husband terribly, so I’m wondering what others might be doing. We don’t have any local family and haven’t hired help (yet). Thoughts or suggestions? [/quote]

You knew for months that you were having twins.  There are classes for multiples, too bad you didn't you and your DH didn't take one.  You have two babies now and they take preceence over your husband.

A healthy, nurtured marriage is so important for a child’s well-being, so this is terrible advice. [/quote]

A healthy, nurtured baby doesn’t get that way on its own. While a mother is taking care of a baby, an understanding husband is important for a marriage. 
The PP is nothing short of wrong. [/quote]
