[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine went to hell on a hand basket after the kids were born. We were incredibly happy before kids, but our lives were just so, so much more stable and less stressful. We slept in. We had more money and flexibility. I definitely had to work much, much harder to support my wife through the transition of being a parent, including figuring out what role she wanted to take in our family (she wanted to SAHM then fell into a depression, then decided to work, then decided to work part time, then found a perfect full time job). It's been insane.

That said, my youngest turned one and I could feel a cloud slowly lifting over my marriage. Yes, kids take up all the space you will let them have. But they need you less as they get older and it's been nice to get beyond the new born/infant/baby sleepless period. I actually prefer toddlers. Who would have thought of that![/quote]

Gets easier once they can put their own shoes on and go to the bathroom by themselves. We hardly ever went out as a family because it was so much trouble. I remember the first time I didn't have to bend over an contort myself to buckle their car seat. It was amazing. somehow I remember that more fondly than the sex I had that caused the child in the first place.[/quote]
