Went to visit some friends and got chatting about various things. I asked them what did they find the hardest thing about having kids?

He said 2 things

  1. Not enough sex
  2. His partner ballooned during both pregnancies and was only now getting back to a normal size 2.5yrs later.

We all said the lack of sleep.

He's very honest IMO!

morningpaper · 16/01/2006 14:01

lol actually I think I agree with him!

Caligula · 16/01/2006 14:01

Yes. I can fully believe it.

What a wonderful man.

Piffle · 16/01/2006 14:02

On the face it sounds so man like doesn't it
Nut tbh in the last 3 yrs since dd
I would have spent more time worrying about my lack of sex drive and my figure than I have worried about sleep....
But then I had a good sleeper

morningpaper · 16/01/2006 14:04

lol Piffle

I agree with you

I care more about lack of sex than lack of sleep

And I hate being an enormous heffa SO MUCH

(Am just shallow and vain)

Thing is she has a real complex about her weight anyway and always has. On the otherhand he is always nagging her to stop wearing the sack she tends to to hide her figure.

maybe his wife would feel like sex more if she didn't feel her body was unacceptable to him!

morningpaper · 16/01/2006 14:05

Maybe he find it hard having his partner so unhappy about it?

NotQuiteCockney · 16/01/2006 14:08

Presumably he'd say "my partner isn't happy with her body after a baby", rather than she ballooned etc.

I can sorta understand both points. But I can't understand saying them to other people, iyswim.

Piff, sounds about right to me too, but not necessarily what you'd say in polite company when asked the question .

TBH, I'd be upset if DH mentioned the body thing in company.

Our answers would prob be similar, DH's would prob be the sex thing and MINE would be the absolute horror that is my post childbirth/pregnancy body. DH claims to find me sexier now than he did pre-stretch and sag.

morningpaper · 16/01/2006 14:25

"stretch and sag" - lol - I think I've had that procedure...

NomDePlume · 16/01/2006 14:37

sums it up perfectly, sadly

Piffle · 16/01/2006 17:12

agree with that NDP, my dh has never expressed any opinion on my weight/size seeing as he is overweight by at leats 1.5 stones.
He would never say anything in company like that...
If he were I'd probably retort with something that might make living together again an impossibility
