[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only have one child and am having trouble with this as well.  Part of the issue is I work and am also the primary parent, which makes me more annoyed half the time.  I think for us date night is really helpful, but I wish I had more advice for you.[/quote]

we do date nights and they in some ways make things worse. There is so much pressure to actually want to be there and enjoy each others company. What I really want is time to myself.  Then I feel recharged and have some attention left for my DH.  [/quote]

That's what I found. Getting a sitter, getting things set up for the sitter, paying the sitter -- it just felt like another obligation. Dinner on the sofa with Netflix and a nice bottle of wine was a lot more appealing.

Have sex occasionally. Get enough sleep that you aren't miserable. Let other things slide. Be appreciative of your spouse and your kids.

It gets easier (our youngest is 10 now, and my spouse and I still like each other). [/quote]
