Having kids changes everything, including the “spicy” aspects of life. It becomes more of a challenge to have sex because new parents are tired and focused on keeping a tiny human alive. This can be a difficult adjustment for some, especially when partners are on different pages about frequency.
A lot of parents struggle to find time to be intimate. If you can relate, you’re not alone. Some people are surprised their sex lives are different after they welcome a new family member, but it’s completely normal to experience an adjustment in intimacy.
One mom and wife took to Reddit to get outsiders’ opinions when she and her husband couldn’t agree on how much sex was reasonable. She is happy with how things are but her husband wants more. People online were happy to weigh in, and users on the site had some good insights about what’s normal when it comes to sex after kids.
