Getting our sex life back on track...??

Life in our household has been up in the air past 6 mths with DH starting new v.stressful job which has meant sex life has taken a dive and ground to a halt

Been longest we've been without it, but we're going on holiday next week (with 3 kids but...) and I feel it's my one chance to get us back on track.

However, don't know what to do .. don't want him to think I'm pouncing on him as soon as we get away! Any ideas of how I can wooo him again and get him feeling in the mood again after so long?

Don't think of it as your 'one chance' to fire things up again, the pressure will make you freak out. Go on holiday, relax together (as much as you can while shepherding three kids), enjoy talking/sharing experiences...unwind a bit. Then get pissed and jump his bones

Well for one I hope the kids have their own room! No chance for fun if they're not.

I'd say that getting drunk is absolutely the worst idea, just keep the intimacy in the foreground, whisper in his ear, stroke his hands/neck/wherever. Tell him you're looking forward to some alone time with him - if you're going somewhere hot, an afternoon shower + after sun lotion is the perfect opportunity for getting a spark going again. We took my FIL to Egypt in April and would disappear every afternoon for a shower and a "lie down", we'd leave him drinking afternoon tea by the pool.
Holiday sex is the best.

I agree with the others (have no experiance here btw.... im a 21 yr old single mum lol) maybe go for a nice meal, enjoy spending time together,remember why you fell in love with him and flirt subtley. You never know he might haave the very same thing on his mind. hope you have a lovely time.

Thanks all, not actually going anywhere hot and sunny (wishful thinking) just a UK holiday but will try to get babysitters for kids one evening or put them in an activity session for couple of hours during the day so we can be alone when not exhausted from dealing with the kids. Will be so nice to have some fun together without the kids being around !! then hopefully one thing will lead to another and ... here's hoping

It'll come. If you actually WANT to bone him, then it will happen cos often the worst thing is that you've lost the urge! Anyway I think don't expect it on first chance of asking cos like others said, the pressure might be too much. Also waft around the flat naked a lot putting cream on yr body and sticking yr bum out etc ;-)
