Couple with more than one child: WHEN do you have sex?

33 replies

notbackinthesaddle · 02/03/2006 13:22

I have a baby and a toddler. One child is always awake!

WHEN do you have sex? Do you make time for this specifically or do it at a certain time each week? The months are going by and we haven't had any kind of romantic life (that lasts for more than a furtive 30 seconds) for ages.

Any advice or is it just a matter of waiting until they are older?!

I've changed my name to avoid embarassing the grandchildren...

I have a 19 month old and a 18 week old.... both go to bed for the night at 7pm so we do have our evenings, but it is very hit and miss!

Mostly 1am when we finally drag ourselves upstairs, but more often than not DH is asleep within seconds so I end up VERY frustrated!

We have been known to lock ourselves in the bathroom. Mine are 6, 4 and 2. Good reason for sleep training if you ask me!

Why just more than one child?! It only takes one child who's always awake later in the evening than her parents, & always awake before them in the morning, to make it difficult !!

my friend had 10 children. she's a total nymphomaniac who at 54 still has sex all the time with her husband. a bizarrely high sex drive, IMO, but all the children don't seem to stop them at all. i think they just nip off upstairs when the urge arises, which seems to be rather often.

never.

We won't ever get as far as more than one kid - we don't have sex, or "intimacy" of any sort, ever.

Theory 1 is "All men are gay, once they've provreated that's it".

I don't have a theory 2

Ours are pretty good evening sleepers. Sometimes they both sleep at the same time during the day too.

I have two under the age of 3.
