Did you notice that I let Valentine's Day slip by without comment? Hhhmmm, you must be saying.

Valentines Day is just another day that my husband is trying to get raunchy sex out of me. He 'believes' that we should exchange sexy gifts on this day because, after all, it is a day for luuuv-ahs. I do humour him to the best of my tired-messy haired-stretch marked-ability but the days of crazy sex are over - or at least on hold. Ya ya, I'll put on my lacy pink undies and dim the lights but, let's face it, neither of us is up to the circus sex we used to have.

Oh yes, I know what Dr.Phil would have to say about this.

I have read a lot about couples and the need to maintain their sex lives after the babies come along. I have read very little that supports women being given a break and some time off from being all things to all people. I know there are a lot of reasons that moms and dads should be maintaining that 'closeness' but what about the closeness that could potentially come if men just chilled out for a while and let their wives NOT feel guilt for 5 minutes of the day? I know there are some women out there with crazy sex drives after having kids, I just have never ever met one of them.
I get a bit pissed off when everything I read advocates for the man. Maybe I should stop reading MAXIM. Honestly though, maybe it is the man's problem with his sexuality. Not the woman's problem with her lack of it. Can you imagine if Dr. Phil got on t.v. and said "No Sir, this is your problem. You need to give your wife a giant break. If sex once a month is what she wants then you have to respect that. After all, your wife did just spend 9 months having an alien taking over her body only to push it out of her vagina or have major abdominal surgery. Then the little creature cried constantly and sucked mercilessly at her breasts. All the while everyone looking at her with judging eyes and expecting her to know everything."

Ya right. But I suppose there are a lot of things I could read that would support me in my journey through motherhood. I just don't have time to read that with all the t.v. watching I am doing.

Well there's my rant for the day. I love my husband and would love to be able to give him all that porno-type loving found only on The O.C. and the like but he will just have to wait.
