Totally agree. With my first we talked about divorce more times than I could count. I was going through such bad PPD and didnt feel like he helped or supported me.
The second was completely different, though we werent trying for him and truly weren't excited about a 2nd we united and worked together.

Agree. I had a super low spot in our marriage. I was exhausted and he was unsympathetic. He didn’t know how to help so he didn’t TRY to do anything. I’m still salty.

Agree me and nick almost spilt the first 6 weeks of kaysens life

Agree 100%. With all 3, it pushed our marriage to the limit. There were so many times that we were just downright terrible to each other. The whole first year is hard.

I mean for me it was hard when I was a FTM. I had no clue what I was doing, I mean yes I couldbut my husband already had a kid from a previous relationship so he knew how to do a lot of stuff I didn’t lol definitely helped me out but after you have a few more kids it def got easier. I’m on day 3 with my baby and it’s so easy and hoping it stays that way lol but I guess everyone is different.

Total agree but newborn wasnt tbe testing part for us it was the early toddler stage tbat almost killed us.

Agreed

I disagree. I think newborns are so easy. I feel like the first 9mths are a breeze...once they start walking is a little extra tiring but never caused stress on our marriage or our relationship at all. We’ve always made time for each other. Still do.

Agree but only because I was breastfeeding and jealous of the amount of sleep he was getting

Agree. It’s definitely hard to take care of a newborn and a marriage.

I don't know if I agree or disagree. Our actual kids never caused stress, we've always agreed on everything regarding them. Its mainly my PPD and our family who have caused the stress but both of those things wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for having kids. So I guess it depends on how you look at it.

I agree. It brings out a side of each other you've never seen. And it's with every new child too. And with lack of sleep, change of routine, things like that, it's enough to test any relationship.

Omg agreed it has been so hard!!

The first year was the worst for me. Between my hormones leveling out, the lack of sleep, the crying and not knowing what was wrong.... ugh

Completely agree. It was a whole new low in exhaustion and it really wears you down to brass tacks.
