Fellow larger families, how often do u and ur partner dtd?

[Pretty Butterfly]

Generally around 5 times a week, when ttc or not...

We have lots of outside stuff with them all, and I have 3 still at home all day too, so we are pretty stuffed... BUT....


Bed for the 3 littlies is no later than 8.. the next goes at 9, and the last 2 go to bed at 9.30.. so we go to bed then too... we fiddle while watching our 9.30 to 10.30 show, then when the tele goes off, its time to DTD...

So although its kinds "routine", we do different stuff most nights so we look forward to it... We couldn't DTD any later, from about 2.30am onwards we end up with the 3 littlies in our bed... EVERY NIGHT.... so 10.30 it is, so we can get some sleep....

I find if I get all the house crap done, when we go to bed I can really relax.. if I didn't fold the washing or left dishes or knew I had to get up to a mess in the morning, I'm too stressed and tense.. whatever doesn't get done through the day, gets done between 7.30-8.30pm by us both, so by bed we feel all nice and relaxed...

Never! Can't believe we have been pg 6 times together!! *sigh*

Ha ha ha - this is funny!!! But as for me it depends if we can stay awake! But usually about 3-5 times a week sometimes more - not stressing bout TTC or not so not trying and never really have. I would die if I missed out for any longer than 5 days!!!

I think the co-sleeping isnt helping. It feels like we have had a little person in the bed with us for years. When we were TTC Bunny, we set up Hazza's bed, got him off to sleep in ours and then moved him into his own. It was really more trying to get him to sleep in his own bed all together. We figured if he woke up there he would get used to it....

hey,
We have 5 kids and another on the way. We generally do it 1 a week. I'm so tired with the twins that when I go to bed I want to sleep. My hubby just has to pull his pants down and i'm preggo.

We only have 3 kids, but my girls do a lot of activities and tbh dtd is the absolute last thing on my mind. I am so tired by the end of the day so sleep is my priority. I really do have to remind myself that DH needs attention. We average once a fortnight. When ttc we've done it once for all 5 pregnancies.

Gosh I feel really bad seeing how often others dtd..I am a hold out
