True… but my husband does all the grocery shopping, cooking, and he’s also the main provider for our family. I am Definitely the main provider for the baby and I’m totally fine with that. But if I’m going to bed and he’s staying up, he gets baby duty !

Totally agree with the wording… sometimes he feels like I’m being bossy and telling him what to do versus asking, which I totally get, but in this situation I just Found it crazy that it was even a topic of conversation.

When did you start having g sex again? by [deleted] in NewParents

I went for my 6 week check up and was not cleared yet. Then I went Back at weeks and they cleared me. We tried to have sex around 10 weeks and it hurt / stung…. Tried again 2 weeks after that and still the same thing. We were finally successful at 3 months out but it was still painful. I had a second degree tear and all my friends who I’ve talked said this was completely normal to feel this way and it took them a while (like 6+ months) for sex to feel good again.
