When you have little ones, carving out time (or mustering the energy) for some intimate moments with your partner can feel like an uphill battle. Between diaper changes and sleepless nights, it’s easy to let romance take a backseat. But don’t worry; help is here! Here’s a lighthearted guide on how to sneak in some post-baby romance:
- Plan an Early Night: You and your partner decide to aim for an “early” night together.
- Raid the Underwear Drawer: Instead of pajamas, dig for something a bit more enticing. You might find baggy t-shirts, your comfiest knickers, a couple of old maternity bras, or perhaps a rogue thong that evaded the Great Thong Purge of 2010.
- Consider a Quick Clean-Up: You ponder giving your underwear drawer a much-needed tidy before the romantic rendezvous. But, realizing the baby could wake at any moment, you abandon the idea.
- Cuddle Up in Bed: Both of you jump into bed, only to realize that exhaustion has taken over. You both agree that a good night’s sleep might be more appealing than any romantic escapades tonight.
- Try Again Tomorrow: The next day, you resolve to make it happen. You settle into bed, determined to be romantic, but then your partner thinks they hear the baby. You pause to listen—nothing. Just as you resume, you think you hear the baby. Again, nothing.
- The Baby Wakes Up: Just when things heat up, the baby starts crying. You both get up to feed them, then return to bed, only to find your partner has already dozed off.
- Make a Firm Plan: After a couple of sleepless nights, you both finally agree that tonight will be the night. Feeling adventurous, you suggest the couch for a change of scenery.
- Unexpected Guests: As you begin your romantic activity, “Thomas the Tank Engine” is judging you from the corner of the room. You spin him around to face the wall and try to continue.
- Toy Trouble: In an unfortunate turn, you accidentally sit on a plastic Fireman Sam. Your partner tosses him into the toy box, but the urge to sort the toys out is too strong. You can’t help but move Fireman Sam to the right box, then get distracted by a stray block.
- Back to Romance: After a brief detour into toy organization, you return to your romantic intentions. Socks come off, and just as you lean in for a kiss, your partner whispers, “Is it just me, or does this couch smell weird?”
- Couch Plans on Hold: Both of you decide to abandon the couch plans and opt for a TV binge instead.
- A Glimmer of Hope: Three days later, the grandparents take the kids out for a few hours. You see this as a golden opportunity for some much-needed intimacy. As your partner heads to the bedroom, you explain that transitioning from toddler duty to romance might take a little time.
- Coffee and Cake First: You suggest that starting with coffee and cake in bed would be a nice prelude. As you share pictures of your baby on your phones, you realize the clock is ticking down to baby’s return.
- The Grand Escape: Two weeks later, you both decide that a night away from home is essential for some serious post-baby romance. After leaving your little one with the grandparents, you head to a fancy hotel where you indulge in food, drinks, and eventually, some unforgettable romantic moments.
- A Surprising Outcome: Six weeks later, you confirm the success of your hotel escapade with a positive pregnancy test!
And there you have it: navigating intimacy with little ones around can be a challenge. While some nights will be devoted to sleep, others might just lead to unexpected surprises!
