Really they are all normal, but when you have both, it makes life crazy. For us there is no separation. We seem to glide with ease from one set to the next, sleep a few hours, and then start over again.
What I'd like to focus on in this post is how we find time for us as a couple... you know, that husband/ wife relationship all parents forget about from time to time,or all the time.
For us, our relationship comes first. It may not look like that from the outside, but it does. We don't do date nights or weekends away often. And COVID has made that a very limited option in Michigan.
So you may wonder how we make this happen. It's really simple. We bought a locking door handle for our bedroom and we use it almost daily! We go in our bedroom, lock the door, and connect. And guess what....it's not always about sex. We are a very intimate couple, but sometimes we just need to talk. We also make excuses. "Mom's getting dressed. Dad just got out of the shower, one of us is pooping." Sometimes we just say, "Go play,we'll be right out!" Usually it's enough. It's a very small amount of time, but it is everything to us.
We also have our Late nights. This is always different. Sometimes our
Bigs with us, sometimes they are gone. But at some point, we make them go to bed. We listen to music, Snapchat, and dance. Sometimes I do my thing and Ron is in his barn. Sometimes we have friends over sometimes we don't. Sometimes we have a few drinks and make love. Sometimes we don't.
At the end of the night, we always go to bed together.
