We never had sex for almost a year,and it didn't really phase my DH or I, but it's definately a phase thing. There is no 'normal'
It's your life and you do what makes YOU happy!

I just want to know WHEN it's supposed to happen once you have kids....normal or otherwise. My DS#1 would stay up will midnight given the chance, DD gets up at 5am, DS#2 takes the swing shift. DH and I both work. So when are we supposed to manage??? Even if we get all of the little blighters in bed at a reasonable time, I'm out for the count and snoring by 10pm...DH 'doesn't do mornings' ...there are kids all over the place during the day. So that just leaves the bathroom with the door locked but there's nothing like a 3 yr old calling 'mummy....mummy...muuumeeeee...what are you doing' at the top of his voice to put DH off his stroke....

Still we manage once a week ....usually.

I just got remarried at 40. We have what I consider a great sex life (any chance it fits in). It knocked me over to learn that 'most' couples are coupling 3-4 times per week. My last relationship of more than 15 years averaged that per year!! I was so bummed to realize that we procreated about 2% of the time. Now you know why it was important to find a partner to make-up for lost time

As you may know, I have been living in the same house as my MIL, sleeping in the adjacent bedroom to hers.
Average once a week, we have to go to dh's studio in town of an evening, or if we can't fit that in we have to wait til MIL is visitng friends and even if she's out of the house for 4 days there are all the other factors you lot have sited to stiffle things.
When we build our shack in the garden it's going to have sprung suspension in the floorboards because we have a LOT of lost time to make up for.

That's stifle not stiffle,
