What can you do to make more time for yourself, so you will feel better, and be able to connect more with your hubby?

So far, it looks like you have taken on the majority of the chores. A new baby automatically means new chores, which means less time, IF you simply add it to all your existing chores.

Would it be possible for you to shift a major chore, for example laundry, to your husband? What could he take on that would regularly save you time and energy? Could he manage it even for just a few months?

Maybe he might not do the chore perfectly, or the way you would, but so what? At least it gets done.

Could you take that new found time and make sure you spend it bonding with him?

I hope you don’t give up only 6 weeks into a 6 month challenge. We’re all rooting for you!

In my experience, if one creates an expectation, one also creates the real possibility of disappointment.

May I suggest that instead of intentionally increasing the stress level by adding great sex into your already maxxed out life, that you get creative instead.

You have already been through this whole scenario once, you already know the challenges ahead, yet your solution is to “test drive new techniques”, which simply adds to all the pressures you face.

Is that a practical solution for all your readers facing the same issues?

Could you use your past experience, with forethought, to avoid or go around the inevitable pitfalls that happened the first time, through innovation instead of buying a new oil?

I think women already place too many demands upon ourselves, and your solution appears to fit that unhealthy pattern. Maybe its time to get creative!

But I also miss my husband and want to get back to enjoying us as a loving couple.
Your idea for the six month sex challenge sparked intrest in our home, my husband emailed me your blog:)
Wow, that was a huge HINT.

Reading your blog made me laugh because you described what I have been feeling for so long. However, it also inspired me to try make time for me and my husband. I guess we will see how things go.

Thank you, I look forward to your weekly tips and humour.

Very tired but inspired Mom

And there are a myriad of reasons why some guys are hesitant or don’t enjoy it, but not judging and providing a caring atmosphere can make all the difference!
