How many kids do you have?

I know someone - a relative of my wife - with 3 young kids that has sex (more or less) daily. She wasn’t bragging when she told me. To be fair, she has a smoking body. The other half, not so much.

My wife and I just have one 4 month old but we’re making an effort to have sex the days that we can. It’s not easy with a kid at this age! We maybe get one nap in the evening. After the baby goes to bed my wife usually needs to pump and get to sleep early enough so she gets enough before the baby wakes.

I guess it depends on the kids. Some of them cry more, involve more energy, wake up earlier. When going to bed you remember the morning pain and quickly evaluate the pleasure component. Moreover, both partners need to have equally high energy levels in order to do that, and this can be a challenge even in a relationship without kids. So respect to those who manage to do it daily with 3.

Oh, only their middle child is easy. The oldest and the youngest are both handfuls.

At some point I'm going to ask her for details. Maybe their sessions are pretty quick, for instance.

My oldest Child is in their teens.

And I do stuff with my kids every day.

Dad time is a everyday thing with my children.

Even if it is for only 20 minuets per child. Or hours.

Homework and spending time with family are very important for my kids.

Exactly! This is a personal preference thing but I don't think folks realize how often some of us _have to_ make love to maintain sanity. They are often quickies due to the kids but we both strive to make it happen because we like it so much.
