this makes me kind of not want babies.
my boyfriend's 6 year old son being around just less than half the week already puts a damper on all the sexual things we would normally be doing.
also: a good girlfriend of mine just started seeing a relationship counselor with her boyfriend of 6 years. the therapist showed her a graph of relationshits and how couples with kids have this extremely low-sex, low-relationship strength trough of oh, like, 15 years or some craziness, whereas a couple with no children remain on a constant upward movement towards happier days and closer sexual bonding until they hit like 55, and then sort of level off until death.
