What is a healthy sex life for parents?
Me and my husband have a 6 month old and a 2 year old, our days are pretty chaotic and stressful. We can get so snappy with eachother and totally loose patience, and I feel like we heavily rely on sex to bring us back together again. We have sex almost every day, and on the days we don’t I can really feel the difference in our dynamic. Other factors definitely contribute to our moods such as tiredness and work, but I worry we are potentially “using” each other subconsciously as a stress relief, although I don’t feel like he’s using me, and I don’t believe he thinks i’m using him either. We keep it fun and exciting and something to look forward to that’s just for us
Is this healthy? Is this just the season of life we’re in?

I have a 6 month old and 2 1/2 year old and the thought of doing it every day is wild to me - how do you have the energy 😂
I think it can be both, stress relief for one or both of you AND connection restoring.
Good on you doing it every day!
Prioritising self care through sex is no bad thing, especially if you're both doing it can it's sustainable.
I know some who don't at all, some who do just to appease the other person which ...ik and who wish they would but can't
It's so : couple, drive, hormones and time allowing!

My ten month old is making it impossible but when she was ten weeks old we were most nights. It's a season!
