The baby arrives and the sex and romance leaves, whirlwind divorces...
If you've had children you don't need me to tell you how much they affect your relationship with your partner - including your sex life. But it can be a surprise just how much things between you are affected.
I answered this dilemma for a woman who's had twins on my weekly iVillage UK blog. She's afraid one of them might stray. Take a look if this is troubling you.
To my guilty pleasure - EastEnders - when is the evil Dr. Khan going to be discovered??! Maybe Massoud is onto him... about time too, crikey he's got away with everything bar murder.
So Kim Kardashian and husband Kris are already on the path to divorce - any surprises there? Hardly! Celebrity whirlwind marriages are bound to fail - the massive-sized egos compared to the tiny-sized coping skills means they can't handle issues all couples face. Thank goodness there aren't any children involved in this ridiculous soap opera.
TODAY’S TIP: back to babies coming in between you and your partner - it's so easy for both of you to feel neglected. The woman feels she doesn't get enough help. The man feels the baby always comes first.
TALK about these things - your feelings are important and if left to simmer it only makes matters worse.
Carve out some time for a cuddle and a chat - don't point the finger of blame. Instead just say you want things to be better between you.
Remember how blessed you are to have a child - but with that blessing comes 24/7 responsibilities.
Looking forward to catching up with an old pal this afternoon - is there ever going to be a hot gossip sess' going on in Soho!
Take care of yourself, Pam x
