[quote=Anonymous]One of the best things I read on DCUM is that by 8-9 months out you start feeling like your life should be back to "normal"...but it's not. I know this is your second, not your first, but I bet that's part of it. The first year of a child's life is long, and you're not really to a "new normal" yet. You're kind of all over the place thinking about everything that's missing. Don't think big picture like that (yet). Just ask yourself: What's one thing that would be really nice next weekend? A movie? Sleeping in an extra hour? Nice take-out and a bottle of wine after the kids got to bed? Pick one nice thing to plan for yourself next weekend--and ask your wife if there's one thing she would like to do. If the nice thing for your wife involves the kids, don't worry about it. Just do one thing that makes each of you a little happier. And how's your sleep, btw? Sleep deprivation makes everything worse. Does your wife work full time?[/quote]
