When my husband and I both worked, everything was great. We also worked at the same company which was lots of fun.

Things got hard once we had 3 little kids and 1 income, so I don't buy the 2 income thing.

Lack of female sex drive is almost always a result of fatigue.

That's why the sex life suffers (in most cases) after kids are born. We're just too durned tired!

"Things got hard once we had 3 little kids and 1 income, so I don't buy the 2 income thing."

That's just a different set of problems which then have to be dealt with. I did both too...coincidentally including the three kids. The thing is that there will ALWAYS be problems in life, whether one of you is working or you're both working, whether you have kids or not.

Fulfillment is where we FIND it. I've never known anyone who managed to find fulfillment when they actively LOOK for it. These people who're complaining about the lack of it seem to think they can somehow earn it, like a salary or a gold medal. They're actively, desprately looking for it, and as long as they do that, they'll never find it. Conversely, people who claim to be fulfilled all the time are deluding themselves. A life without problems isn't a life.

From what I've heard non-working moms also can suffer from fatigue. Maybe a different kind.

I've been waiting for someone to say what I was thinking.
Ditto here--all was peachy(and active) up until the kids came along and only one of us worked outside of the home.

When we were two income and childless(or even after the birth of our first child)...ahhh those were the days sexually speaking!
