Do the arguments get fewer as the kids get older?

Just wondering...

We have 3 under 5 and spend a lot of time snappy and short-tempered (with each other). Am hoping that when the nappies, naps and pushchair years pass that the snapping subsides Hmm

Thanks

You both sound really stressed, you need to make time for yourselves away from the children.

Yes Fabby but very tough we have no parents or family close!

Ours are 12 and 8 and still most arguments in our house are triggered by something child related. It's not nice, but we acknowledge that to be the case, and try not to let it undermine us.

We've found they have got less. Tiredness is a relationship killer

It does get easier. Tiredness makes most people snappy IME.
