Baby-poll poll How did having a child impact your relationship with your partner?
(Baby poll by tawnsawyer , 960 days ago)
We're together and better then ever.
We're together and about the same as we were before.
We're together but at each other's throats CONSTANTLY.
I'm a single mommy.

Having our twins deepened and strengthened our love more than I ever could have dreamed. I am incredibly grateful for how lucky I am.

our relationship gets better every day...that was true even before we got pregnant.

my man is a JERK. I am 34 weeks pregnant now and he`s becoming more of an ass as the days come closer. I pretty much can`t stand him anymore and we were soooo `in love` before this. We`ll see. I won`t sit here and be unhappy, pregnant or not.

5against1...that is SO sad! Creep. But in answer to the poll, I think a lot of relationships go through stages. It can be influenced by hormones, by emotions, by money, by lack of sleep, by shifting identities, by loss of independence or by all of a sudden being needed 24/7...it all depends on how you and your partners can be...my new motto is `Lose the Battle to Win the War`...there can be a dozen things that can annoy me or really piss me off in any given day....but fighting about them doesn`t accomplish anything good most of the time. And men respond SO much better to a rational woman, so I find THAT is the best way to ensure change. I look at your poll options and throughout the first year, I felt every single one of those at one point or another. For any woman going through angst and uncertainty, just remember, you don`t need to decide today. Don`t make your decisions out of a highly emotional state. It`s amazing how empowering it is when you realize that.

I think in some ways we are not as close since so much of my time is taken up with my son. I sometimes think he is almost jealous of the attention i pay to Liam. Like maybe replaced a bit. Maybe its horrible to say but in some ways he was a tad replaced since my older kids are not huggie kissie anymore and here is a sweet little person that is always wanting a cuddle and doesn`t stress me out in the many ways grown men do LOL. Hope that didn`t sound as bad as I think it did.

LOL. the minute i peed on that stick and it was positive, it really was the magic wand that can make men disappear. he ran and a year later, i still havent heard from him. prior to that, we had such an incredible close relationship.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
