    What about getting a babysitter and you and your husband go to the gym together? That way you would do something together it could strangthen your relationship....just an idea.

    My parents have started to take both kids on a sunday morning and give them lunch. So we have from say 9.30am-12/1pm to ourselves. We are going to start going to the gym together.

    Thanks a million for the replies. It makes me feel better knowing that other people feel the same and know how torn we might feel trying to fit it all in.

    I'm sure myself and my DH will work things out over time.

    I know you like going to the gym, but a home gym doesn't need to take up any more space than a dresser drawer. I have resistence bands, a medicine ball, a couple of small dumbbells and a yoga mat. I also have various sized fit balls (so a little more room needed for those, or you let the air out, store them and inflate them when needed). I can do yoga exercises, modified Pilates exercises, all kinds of strength training with just those few pieces, without having to leave my house. If you have friends/neighbors with kids, maybe you can help each other take turns watching the kids. Then you and hubby can take a nice long walk together.

    For every problem, there is a solution. Don't waste energy on feeling guilty, don't place blame, just find the solution. Ask your DH to be part of finding the solution so he has buy-in.

    Good luck!
