[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]feeling that what I do for the family is largely taken for granted.

that my needs (not just sex) come after the kids, friends and the dog.[/quote]

Yep welcome to parenthood. The needs of both parents come after the kids’ needs, and you feel taken for granted because that is what kids do. It isn’t a reciprocal relationship- until much much later, if truly ever. [/quote]

well, our kids are 18, 15 and 13 so we're not exactly "new" to this.[/quote]

Exactly. So you should know the drill by now. Just a few more years for you. I don’t see what good it does to whine about it- of course your kids’ needs come before yours. Part of the gig. And this is why we do not have a dog, either- BTW. Ha. [/quote]

NP - jesus, you're just a shrill woman.[/quote]

NP:  I don’t understand what is shrill about this.  She is just saying that if you decide to have kids, that’s the commitment you make.  Why complain about it?[/quote]

you should post this answer to the numerous threads when anyone complains about anything in their marriage.  No, you're too cowardly to do that? then f*** off.[/quote]

I think it would be helpful if the OP of the “my needs come after the kids” was more specific..I mean, most of my needs, and DHs do indeed come after the kids. Not all, no- and not all of the time. But largely it is what you sign up for when you become a parent. If the DH said “I haven’t had more than 4hrs of sleep in 10yrs!” Or something crazy like that then sure he’d get sympathy. But if it’s “I can’t sit down and watch the game every Sunday afternoon anymore- because KIDS!” Yeah...not so much. [/quote]
