My husband is a SAHD of our twin girls. After 6 months, he still doesn't have things down. Please understand that I think he is a great father and has always been wonderful with kids. I know that it is so much harder with twins then it is with a single, but everyday is misarable for him. While on maternity leave I was the one who took care of the girls. Then When I went back to work he became a SAHD. I constantly tried to get him aquainted to their schedules but he never took it seriously until I was already back at work. After 3 months I still get daily call/texts of what to do.

Is your spouse jealous of your other relationships with SAHMs?
OK. Now I don't want to intrude on the forum, but I really need the advice of some SAHDs to help give me perspective on my problem.
Everytime I try to get my wife interested in sex it's an epic failure.
My wife and I have had a relationship for 15 years now, but there has always been one underlying issue in our relationship that seems to cause the most friction: sex. During the first 10 years, things seemed to be fine. Sex was very frequent (maybe two to three times a week), but about 7 years ago things changed. My wife and I are high school sweethearts, and we went to college together. During these years, I would say that my sex life with her was great, but during the last year of college things changed.
Temporary Assistance for Single Fathers
Dear Group,
I'm a single father raising a beautiful 4 year old girl myself as her mother left us 3 years ago because she didn't want to be a mother anymore.
Anyway, I devote myself to my child, and I'm a hard and disciplined worker who just had his pay cut by 50%, however I'm starting a second job in a month to subsidize my income. Additionally, I'm seeking an evening job if I can find a good sitter. I've been seeking secondary jobs for sometime now, and I'm often told I'm over qualified, or of course, jobs are little tight right now.
