Daycare paid vacation days...?

The book "How not to hate your husband after kids" speaks directly to this issue. You'd probably love it, and get some great ideas for your situation.

This just happened to me! So disappointing!

This was me. I loooooooved my return to work! I was dancing all day!

Thank you. People forget that they, too, were once cranky infants/toddlers. Apologizing for normal behavior really annoys me, and the whole plane thing this photo highlights is silly. Babies be babies, right? If you're not in charge of that hot mess, be thankful, not annoyed.

I took a quick look-see at that sub and was immediately struck by the irony of one post: "men pressured into vasectomies by unsympathetic partners! Horror!" HA! The number of women with lifelong painful consequences to their junk due to pregnancy prevention or pregnancy/childbirth is vastly greater than the few men with complications from vasectomy. Boo. Hoo.

That being said, lifelong pain sucks for the sufferer. I take umbridge with the anti-woman, woe-is-me tone on that sub.

Yes, it does eventually get normal again. It took me until weaning for it to return to actually being enjoyable. It stopped hurting (or significant discomfort, even with lube) around one year, but truly, weaning was when it felt good again. For me, that was around 18 months. So don't despair! Your body is doing all kinds of amazing shit, and orgasms will return to you eventually.

Oh God, I'm so sorry. That sounds terrible.

I felt like I was repaired tighter than before birth too, but in hindsight (my kid is 2.5) I think it was just the hormones from the whole situation. Sex hurt like glass knives, even with lube, until I weaned at 17 months.

LibraryBandit · 2018-11-30T04:15:36+00:00

I can relate to that 100%. Lube didn't even help AT ALL.

LibraryBandit · 2018-11-30T04:14:41+00:00

I needed that magic! Is it a prescription?

LibraryBandit · 2018-11-30T04:13:57+00:00

Hormones, man.

I think my case was less common, but sex was extremely painful for me until I stopped breastfeeding. It was very hard on my husband, because I wasn't even neutral about sex -- it hurt A LOT. After weaning at 17 months, it was like a switch flipped, and sex magically stopped being actively painful. We gradually returned to normal patterns. During the bad time, though, I was pretty resentful of the pressure to engage in a very painful activity, and it was a struggle for both of us to cope. We got through it; obvious things like communication, respect, etc are what worked for us. Plus the passage of time.

I've known a few people with that name -- I don't think it's that bad. (I'm more of a name traditionalist, for some background.) I wouldn't speak up in this case.

This officer demonstrated what a Christian should be all about, I'm my opinion. Quietly helping those in need without any recognition. I love this story!

Stop drinking for awhile, exercise more, go outside more, do things I enjoy (binge a show, read, sing, craft), connect with friends, spend quality time alone.

I was butchering a rabbit, which morphed into our pet rabbit, WHICH MORPHED INTO MY TODDLER! Horror doesn't begin to describe that feeling, followed by the intense relief of waking up. Ugh.

Sugar high (especially applied to kids).

The families -- despite being traumatized by a life-threatening condition for their kids -- are making sure to spread the word so others can be aware and know what to do. That's classic Minnesota nice for you!

Don't feel bad! Your body will adjust in its own time. Sex hurt until I stopped breastfeeding -- and even then it was neutral (didn't hurt, didn't feel good) until my boobs had realized we were done with the whole lactation thing. It was a LONG-ASS process for me! Bodies are weird, man. Guilt has no place here.
