Aaaand resume the position...!
Brilliant words below from

‘Together-ish’
We are in a hard space. One of those phases that comes around every now and again with young kiddies where every step feels like a battle. Naps take hours to achieve, meals are made then refused , screaming is a constant and mammy’s tears run as freely as the baby’s.
Crawling,potty training, multiple night wakings (and did I mention all the screaming? )means that during this phase(that will pass just as they have before) the limit of our togetherness as a couple is what you can see in this illustration.
There is love there...but not an ounce of energy.
Come 8.30pm I’m kissed-out, talked-out ive spent all day being a dinosaur,repeatedly making 5 piece jigsaws, chasing a two year old across the room while he casually walks by me having a poo and pulling our champion crawler out of every dangerous space going.
Date nights sounds lovely,sex sounds fab,kisses ...a wonderful idea. But not now. Not when things feel so hard.
On the couch ,numbed out with full bellies and silence is the most loving space we can exist in right now.
