Amen!!!! Just once, I’d love to see a realistic article in those magazines about this topic! None of those suggestions honestly would work for me and my hubby…in fact, somehow 3 out of 4 kids end up in bed with us by 11:00 am so even late-night sex is out of the question.

That last one cracked me up….I’ve been guilty of that myself. If my husband tries to initiate sex before the kids climb in bed with us, I’m all, “Well, I’m tired….I’m going to sleep but if you can figure out a way to make yourself happy without waking me up, more power to you”.

This is so spot on! I shared it with my girlfriends and to a girl, we’ve all had at least one of the above thoughts, feelings or scenarios! The only thing missing is the need for total darkness to hide the spare tires left over from the little culprits!

Choking here. Coffee that I was drinking (Stone cold, from this morning) shot out my nose somewhere around the second tip. I need to clean my screen off and am typing thru dribbles.
I love this post and can agree with each of your thoughtfully worded response.
Rock on sister!

Hi Jenny –

Thanks for making a truly ghastly week here bearable with your reliably hilarious writing. Keep up the great work telling it like it is for married folks —

jenny, all so true, so true.

regarding the suggestion of getting up early: don’t know about you, but our kids were often up an hour before the alarm! that won’t work!

simply put, its either sleep or sex. often the best time was the middle of the night….must have been something in a dream, but the next thing i know, we’re in the middle of things…..well, if you sleep through half of it, maybe that’s the best of both worlds (i.e. sleep and sex).

now that we’re almost empty nesters, the nature inclinations dull. you see, now that there are more opportunities, the interest and desire to take advantage of the time slots is dimished. (one of my friends going through the change now has no interest and feels likes she’s become genderless.) but, every once in a while at night in bed, we remember something: oh, yes, that’s right, we could have sex!

Woman, you crack me up! Thank you for the chuckle and chortle in the middle of the day. I recently spent all this money at a naughty party, wtih good intentions, and it’s still getting used less than the dimmer switch. ACK!

Loved it. Better get the sex in now, because when you get older it gets less and less and how much less can it get…

This is really funny and so true. Glad we connected via Twitter…your blog is totally my sense of humor (or my reality).

Jenny,
This is the classic housewife, mommy lament…too much kidtime, not enough sexy time. I say put water on to boil, kids in front of TV and jump in the sack. That should give you a great 3 minutes of “parents play time”. That way you still get a great night sleep. Otherwise, read the Kama Sutra. Try an origional position each day or week as needed. Each new position only takes a few short minutes to get into. Unfortunately, I’ve found they each take several hours go get out of. P.S. Not to be practiced when grand children sleep over!

OMG the ambiance from the TV light is SO right. My tip for toddlers – buy those child proof door handle things. It gives us at least two minutes to get clothes on. My husband works nights so getting any time together is a challenge. It also annoys me that my non-mom friends are using the “date night” thing like they HAVE to set aside time. It makes me want to slap them. Hard.
