Yes, it evolves bla bla bla, but it is nothing like the marriage before you had kids.<br /><br />And my DH totally had to show me how to change a diaper too when our first was born.

But I think it changes different things for different people. In our case, I think the first baby actually made us communicate better-- to argue in a more constructive way because days-long silent treatments just don't work when you have to function as a team. But then the second baby made us communicate worse. We were were so overwhelmed we often didn't talk when we should and made opposite assumptions about things and then didn't understand where the other one was coming from. The youngest is almost six and it's still hard to find the time to really talk things through the way we used to, but we've gotten better at it.StephLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711343685652511843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-4582069800577331442012-03-16T15:30:57.007-07:002012-03-16T15:30:57.007-07:00Oh, how I love love love this post.

I remember being strongly resentful that my husband got to go and take the train to his office and then work with no one crying and go for coffee and lunch. Meanwhile, I had to put the baby in the Bjorn if I wanted to use the toilet, and also I had a one year old who would be clinging to my leg at the same time.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212465957211363245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-15499690268509262052012-03-16T13:38:33.858-07:002012-03-16T13:38:33.858-07:00AMEN.

Glad to see someone who is on the other side of the clusterfuck that is parenting small children with another person.<br />2. Eloquent! So maybe you're not an optimistic-positive (like that? I just made it up), but you can sure as hell recognize something positive when you see it so I would call you realistic-positive.<br /><br />So excited that you're posting every day.clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944084489177974511noreply@blogger.com
