Working moms and workouts

When do you workout??? When does your spouse?

I worked out a ton before having our son but now I feel like I can’t figure out when it’s possible.

During nap time, once LO has gone to bed for the night, or, once partner is home from work. Also weekends when partner is home x

My LO only does contact naps so I work out during playtime. She plays mostly independently and I work out right next to her while supervising her and switching things up when she gets bored.

Great question! I workout whilst brushing my teeth, when my newborn is asleep if I’m not sleeping too, & when with hubby or my mum!

When he's down for a nap and pray he doesn't wake up so I can finish and shower lol doesn't always work..I used to put him into the activity table and put it in front of the bathroom door and shower but that doesn't work very well anymore as he's getting bigger and now I try to get him to watch me if he wakes up in the middle and hope he will chill but mostly I just pray he won't get up and I can finish. It depends on the age of your baby too. I couldn't do it when he was younger.

It’s hard in the early weeks and my partner works an irregular schedule. But I got a rowing machine which I try to use when she goes down for the night around 8, but I find that I have to do it right away or I’ll get too tired 😅

I workout during lunch while at work! I love that it doesn’t take away any time from home because I feel like I’m struggling with keeping up with housework and kids’ schedules 😵‍💫

Baby used to love Baby wearing workouts (there are loads on YouTube) when he was smaller and he would sometimes even nap on my chest during the workout. Now that he can sit on his own (he's 9 months), I workout while he plays. Also, twice a week, I get his dad to take him out for a walk while I go to my Jui Jitsu class right before dinner (I leave everything ready) which is the only "me" time I get now.

We are night owls so he has his workout when I’m putting toddler/baby to bed and he passes me the weights as I come out of the room. Then he’ll do some house chores clean up pack up lock up, and he’ll make me a coffee an hr later and we settle down on the couch for some series together. I also go salsa dancing on Friday nights which are my breaks but def counts as a workout lol.

My village is missing

This is a late night vent session obviously but l make it short. My boyfriend and I went to a basketball game in Orlando. His sister was babysitting our son. We come back tonight for her to say he slept for 6 hours and just woke up. Now what type of shit is that. I’ve been feeling lately like no one cares for me or helps out in the way I need them to. People want to see you smile but don’t try to find the cause when you’re not. I’m an only child and my mom lives far. I feel very alone even with the dad involved. I feel alone and like I’m doing it all. I can’t even imagine having another kid which I want but this life here is tough

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠

Whyyy?

I get horny when my man isn’t around but when he’s around and in the mood I’m not. This last Thursday he made me squirt a lot for by birthday. We only get intimate like 2 times a month.

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.
