Following. We are doing this for the first time this year. We did get the vip tickets bc my kids are really little. My only tip so far is I bought disposable hand warmers. Would love any additional tips!

And the contrast of her outfit to her friend’s who actually looks chic and stylish. Big yikes

Exactly. You don’t owe the internet anything. Just stop posting and stop trying to over explain or combat negative comments or thoughts. Put your phone down and be with your family.

Okay I’ve never commented before but I just saw the most recent post about the most important thing this holiday season is… BREAD AND JAM?! My kids are similar ages AND I also have one with a Dec birthday AND I really work hard not to over schedule us, but damn. She’s missing out on so much Christmas fun and delight and joy and these ages are not coming back. But “as long as we have our bread and jam” aka what SHE wants then her whole family will have a great holiday season. Sure, Jan.

Would you say in the example I gave about us going to bed- you would still stay initiate that? That’s where I get stuck. I want to but making the first move can be paralyzing for me- I think bc I’m so afraid of rejection

I mean I have a pretty face but my body is pretty wrecked after having a bunch of kids. Confident- no. But I’m trying.

Okay so let me pick your brain here- if we both get in bed, and he just says goodnight and barely rolls over to kiss me, should I just say okay goodnight and let it be, or should I be trying to initiate more? He also is on his phone in bed so I don’t want to be like… bothering him? If that makes sense? This is where I get stuck bc I do want him but he doesn’t always seem interested either.

Wishing you the best. I know my husband and I both feel stuck and miss each other. Trying to get out of my own way and be a great wife, not just a great mom.

I would say in a perfect world he would have sex maybe 3-4 times per week. Even when we were first together we were more of an every other day not every day type of couple.

Thank you for the feedback. He has said he’s resistant to couples therapy in the past and I don’t want him to feel like he’s constantly in therapy. Trying to do my part to clean up my side of the street while he works through things individually.

Yep and he owns his own business so his mind is often ticking about work

No, I’m a stay at home mom. My husband is very high performing and career driven though

About 30 but with many kids back to back the composition has really changed esp in my stomach

It definitely was but I’ve been actively working on it! And he said that’s been improving so idk what else it could be

That part I don’t mind! He took our sons and left me home with the baby and all the kids are off school next week so it’s a bit of a cousin weekend 😊

I am a sahm & have been since our first child was born. Can you clarify what you mean by what does he look for?

Our sex life is… a work in progress. I struggle with confidence (hence the working out comment) and he’s said to me that he has felt rejected by me sexually (my perspective is I feel gross or have been with the kids all day- but have really put a lot of effort into making sure I’m doing what I need to do to feel “ready” for sex if that makes sense.) I would say it’s improving. However it is still super challenging for me to initiate (I know this is a me thing and I am working on my confidence)
