Ups and Downs Of Having A Big Family

Have you ever woke up one day and thot where has my life gone? I have, I met my husband in 2008, I had 4 children when I met him, they were small at the time and he didn’t mind them. As time went on and we started to grow together we started having children of our own. We had 4 children together. our relationship was great but the not as great as it should be. You see when your family grows as big as ours you start to for get to acknowledge each other and focus more on the children and work and your relationship starts to fade a bit, sex is not there as it once was all the time.. I found finding the time or even want to at the end of the day was hard. Your tired, you had to get kids to school, do laundry, clean the house, run out and do errands maybe if take the car to the garage. By the time you get to bed your exhausted, from the kids coming home from school, making supper, helping with homework and giving them all baths. Then its your husbands turn to walk through the door from his long day at work, now you have to attend to his needs, supper, clean clothes for his shower before bed, maybe slip in a movie to watch with each other, and we all know by the end of it you are both sleeping by the time the beginning title comes up.

Like I said before there is never enough time in your day to all the things that you want to accomplish. ” When was your last date night? “Do you have hard time finding a babysitter for your big family?
DOES DATE NIGHT REALLY EXISTS?
Our life does not consists of a lot of them. if we have one once a year I would say we are lucky. Its the planning, finding a babysitter, and one who would want to car3e for all out children. Now if are unable to do s date night how are you suposse to manage an overnight weekend. We #dream about it, but at he early times of our relationship we learned to adapt to the way our life was going to be with all the kids. As the years go by, you start to realize that your relationship is missing something. Things go silent, life goes bla and live like that for years. Eventually you wake up and wonder what happened to your marriage.
Communication is a big part of your relationship. When your relationship starts to turn sour and your mind wonders and heart starts to ache. You wonder is worth fighting for? Where do you go from here, you do you talk to, how do you bring this topic up to your partner when you only see then for a couple hours at night. For all that are worrying and wondering if this the end for you? Don’t because I have been there. Its hard work but at the end it does all work out., and its great. Your as one again, a team, in love like you were when you first met. You communicate more because you learn to talk to each other, learn to be around each other. It so much learning but enjoying each other and missing one another when your apart. Life is full of unexpected adventures and if you don’t take a step back and recognize them they pass by and are missed.
Just remember one thing as you read this., if you don’t take the time for each other and reconnect you will give up and feel that all that those years together were for nothing.
