Do you and your SO get intimate?

Id prefer to see responses from people who have young children and both work..

Ugh!

No sex = stress = eating more!

    Well... I don't have kids, but I do work full time and spend a whole lot of time in the gym.

    So we get ''intimate'' about once a week, sometimes twice if we have enough energy left lol


    Some nights we just want to cuddle (I say we but honestly it's me, sometimes when I get back from the gym after a long day of work I just wanna take a bath and lay down in bed lol)

    This week's version of the same topic...hooray!

    3-5 times a week, four kids (8-17), several kids home schooled. Lately more toward five than three, we are on a good streak.

    If you want more detail you have to pay for it.

    Kids-
    9 almost 10, 6 and 5.
    They all go to bed at 8:30 (the key to why we have ANY alone time)
    Both of us work out to our fullest and lack energy in the evening.
    1x per week.

    Frequently. We don't have children but we both work. Weekends are especially nice.

    Two kids, 4 & 9. Hubby is full time, I am part time. About 3 times a week. Except this week. He's out of town, that means I'm frustrated.

    We have 3 little ones, 6, 3 and 3 months, I'm a sahm and my hubby works full time + over time. before having little one number 3 it was at least 3-4 times a week (though pregnancy did muck that up). Now its around 2 times a week mostly due to feeding schedule and far to late of bed time. We both try very hard to give intimate 'hints' during the day so when time finally comes we put in the effort to be awake and playful about it.

    Couldnt agree more no sex means stress and that effects far too many other areas of life, its hard to keep it going and find the time and energy but just like working out and eating right its possible if wanted badly enough.

    For some reason for the past 2 months my mojo had left... I was really on my A game with working out.... I was sort of even embarrassed to ask why isnt my drive up but I had been working out.. But anywho Im back on the scene. Between work schedules I say about 2-4 a month...

    Me and my boyfriend been together a little over 6 years, Im 25 and he just turned 30. We have a 4 year old together,



    We have sex every week between 1-3 times a week, In the summer its more like 1-2 times a week because its so hot lol but definitely every week.



    He works about 55 hours a week and i work 40 hours a week. We made this work because i made sure our son was going to be sleeping in his own room and STAYING in his room at night. No kids sleeping in our bed lol

    Husband works 60-80 hours a week, I am a stay at home mom. 2 Kids 7 and 5. At least 3 times a week but we really try for daily. Even just a quicky. It makes us both feel better if we are intimate often, and it results in us generally being better at everything else. It's like working out, it makes me a better wife, mom, sister, daughter, and person if I do that for me. We also do like CLFrancois and put our kids to bed between 8-8:30 so we have a couple hours at night to be adults.

    When I was married, it was pretty often. Sometimes we'd have to lock the bedroom door and tell the kids we were talking, and we'd be right out. That was fun when my daughter told my mother-in-law about how we lock the door to have our secret talks. Take it when you can get it!

    Three kids: 15, 5, and 2 & 1/2.

    I work full-time.

    He runs his own very successful tree service, which is pretty demanding mentally and physically.

    Once a week, two tops.

    But I ain't complainin'. Used to be < once a month. :(

    I know this baby is going to kill what little we have, and it will all be due to his lack of interest. I guess I'll have to settle for my loves Mr. Hitachi and little Lelo.

    Married w/ 2 kids a 10 year old and a 18 year old we are getting ready to send off to college. We both work 40+ hours a week and workout regularly. We shoot for 3 times a week minimum, sometimes it's less sometimes it's more....however, that's just "getting it in" :laugh: we do lot's of "other stuff" in between that which I guess would count as "intimate" too! :bigsmile: So if you count the extra's, then on average I'd say we're "intimate" at least 3-5 a week!

    I have kids he does not.

    We get it every other weekend, then it's usually like 2-3 times, becuase he's usually in the fields then too.

    Well Im a SAHM ,my husband works fulltime and than some, 3rd shift 12 hr shifts we are lucky if its 3 times in a month and now he is going back to college to finish his degree and still work. We have two small children, oldest turning 3 Aug 10th, youngest and turning 17 months Aug 9th.

    its quiet chaotic these days , we are lucky if we even have a dates at all anymore , in fact last month we had one but not this month so far, this just isn't the first thing on are minds anymore, we love each other but life happens I m sure as our daughters get older and our in school or day care or preschool we will have more time, for now we just try to when we can.
