Sometimes I feel like my husband regrets having a baby, mainly because it's never, ever about him or us anymore. We perpetually take second place to our daughter. But that's the way it's supposed to be, right?

Maureen, you bring up a good point. But I don't think your marriage should take second place to your daughter. It doesn't mean that this has not also happened to my wife and I. But I think if we listen to Kimberly's advice and try to get creative with "private time" and learn to put your marriage first, it will have long term benefits for you and your children.

I love that the Cult of the Child mentality is going away, if not already gone! Makes for much healthier families, parents, kids who don't have absurd expectations about life!

When my parents had "private time" I was already well trained enough and respectful enough to leave them alone. I also enjoyed this time because it meant they weren't bugging me. Kids really need to be taught boundaries.

Kids do nothing but take.. and all they ever give in return is ignorance. I think I had the opposite relation with my mom~ Anyways; I think allot of people go into parenthood without understanding being a parent is 1) a life time commitment whether or not ur spouse remains with you. 2) a very different take on life, your forced to take responsibility, not just for urself but your child as well. 3)only rewarding if the parent's can accept the child as a human being.. not a commodity or utensil.

Thanks for your comments. It is also true that kids don't come with directions. If only they did...!

That private time thing is really, really strange to me. I remember when I was a kid. If my mom and dad had 'private time' while I was in the house, I'd feel really annoyed and anxious. Eventually, I'd figure out they're having sex and start thinking bad/weird things. Plus, can't the kids HEAR you? Maybe you have to be really quiet.

Oh my. I remember my parent's having "private time" and me and my brother going outside and knocking on their window as the "sex police." God. We were clever.

LOL Yeah, I bet I would do that, too. Is that not really awkward?
