[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]didn't read any of the responses, but most women I know have a hard time covering off your checklist when there's a baby in the mix, not sleeping through the night or lots of little ones. You are just toast.

I do cook. I do spend a lot of engaging time with my tot outside of the house in the mornings. I do nap for about 2 hrs with him. My kids get up at 5:30 and I'm dead tired so I need the nap, whereas DH sleeps solid and doesn't touch them at night. Also by 3:30 I'm on homework duty with older child and extracurricular run arounds. Little time to have a perfect looking home. DH acts like nothing gets done but honestly it's hard getting all that done. My 2hr nap would be nice not to do, but honestly, I need it. I barely sleep at night. I want to go back to work desperately but not until these children are solid at night.[/quote]

For the hundred millionth time....no, plenty of women manage to do all of those things when they have a newborn and a young child. Many of them also hold down a job outside the house. It's just BS that you can't do laundry and cook and keep the house reasonably clean and have sex sometimes when you have young kids. [/quote]

I agree mostly, but I'm someone who has sex 4xs a week and often multiple times a day on the weekends which is pretty high for someone married 17yrs. When my kids were little babies and toddlers I had NO sex drive. None. I was exhausted and it killed my drive. I struggled to do it every 10 days. I'm thankful my DH did not put unrealistic expectations on me. He's quite happy now. All I needed was a good night sleep and enough rest to start back at the gym. Once that happened my drive cam roaring back, but it was a pretty dry couple of years there.[/quote]

But the solution is not to give up your paid job so you can be less tired and have more sex.[/quote]
