[quote=Anonymous]Hugs to you, OP, you sound a little lonely. Some individual therapy might help you ID what your needs are and what your goals are, then you can talk about it with DH. If your friends have similar life styles, it might be worth it to befriend some neighbors or families from a kiddie class who seem more family oriented, modeling is important. I had a friend who had a relationship much like yours and they were constantly fighting over who got to eat at the table and who had to feed the baby. They were invited over by neighbors, who had a booster seat on a dining chair. Their baby sat between the parents and they took turns feeding him and eating. My friend and her DH were amazed and still joke about the "3rd way", vs you or me there is "us". Talk about what kind of parents you want to be and what kind of family you want to have. Talk about what kind of families you came from. You need a lot more intimacy.

Parenting is a HUGE adjustment as individuals and as a couple. I'd really try to spend some time 2-4 evenings a month (after bedtime) having stay at home dates as a couple or going out at least twice. Seriously, make it a plan, open some wine, hang out and chat. [/quote]
