When i got desperate with my second child who as about five and always in our small bed as well as his new brother I tried many things. What worked best was always welcoming him into our bed yet making him very uncomfortable so his own bed was more attractive ie squishing him towards the edge of the bed, being restless, dragging the pillow or blankets slightly off him etc. He soon chose to have a cuddle then get back into his own comfy bed. The partner and sex thing, I think parenting does sap a lot of energy for sex but it doesnt have to be a bad thing it is just a stage of your life. Most epople I know say when the kids get older you start to regain energy for you sex life. It seems women are expected to be too much; mothers, drivers, cleaners, workers and also lovers! Partners/men should be apprecieated but it is like my kids, they dont just get rewarded for being reasonable good poeple, that is an everyday expectation neither do we focus on 'bad' behaviour, they are appreciated and loved and reminded tof the qualities in them that we love. I get a bit frustrated when men are revered for being so great when they are really doing no more than the average woman is doing. Belinda
