I just need prayers please 😣😭 having 2 babies is putting so much stress on our marriage... not the…

I understand exactly how you feel! Mine are 17 months and 3 months.

I don’t wanna lose my marriage because of stress from the kids💔😭 it’s the only thing that we have been fighting about.

@paparazzimom223, we were doing that in the beginning too. we adjusted our kids bedtimes to give us time together every evening. My son goes to bed between 6:30 & 7 and my daughter around 7:45. Then we have little mini dates. Watch a movie, eat dinner together or just sit and talk. What specifically do y’all fight about?

@chelseaz, we fight over just the stress of it really. I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old and it gets tough. It’s like we just fight about who’s more tired and who needs a break more. I know it sounds so dumb but it gets intense sometimes.

@paparazzimom223, we alternate things! I am a sahm but he does the babies dinner/bed/bath routines on Monday/Wednesday and I do Tuesday/Thursday. Then we share responsibility Friday through Sunday. It seems to be working for us. On my off nights, I go to the gym, take a hot bath or just relax and watch a tv show. He does the same on his.

@chelseaz, I’m a sahm also, my husband is a mail carrier and has bad back problems so he’s always so tired and sore when he gets home. I hate to put more on him but I can’t do it all the time on my own. He works every day except Sunday... I love him so much so it’s not that we don’t love each other anymore it’s just so much stress puts us apart. I may have to try a schedule like yours

@paparazzimom223, honestly, I think the adjustment from one to two kids is hard on any relationship in the beginning. Especially with one child who can walk and get into everything and another one who can’t and is fully dependent on you. For me, routine is everything. Once we established our routine, things have been much easier. Things will get better. All relationships take work, so don’t forget to set aside some time for each other. Even if y’all just spend 15-20 minutes a day to talk.

@chelseaz, thank you! We have been doing better today. Just helping each other with both kids. 💛 thanks so much for your advice
