‘Daddy gets the biggest smile, she doesn’t give me a glance’

As a mother, it is hard to swallow when your child likes less things every day, your libido has been under the green sod for months or you have given birth to a real daddy’s child.
Charissa (31): “I am the one who did her best during the pregnancy and delivery of Charlie (1) and I am the one who makes all the baby snacks at home. But when her daddy is around, he gets the biggest smile and she doesn’t even look at me. I never realized that it could go like this before I became a mother.”
Fewer and fewer options
Mounya (35): “My toddler – five-year-old Liam – can love raisins on Mondays and then suddenly stop liking them the following Thursday. Unfortunately, the opposite rarely happens.”
Swap for a day
Bridget (39): “I hardly dare to say it, but sometimes I can hurt my guy. He enjoys going to work, never has to get out for a bottle and doesn’t have a body that feels like a tractor – or five – has been driven over it.
“Sometimes I can hurt my guy”
Days go by when I’m still running around the house at five in the afternoon in my onesie, with unwashed hair stuck to my forehead and glasses because I haven’t been able to put in my lenses yet. That I’m making jars for baby Yael, he comes home and asks, “How was your day?” Murderous tendencies. Real.”

Sex life gone
Sandra (34): “I hadn’t really realized that you can shake up your sex life when you have a child. First, everything did down under for me the first weeks after giving birth such a pain that I really wasn’t waiting for polonaise on my body. Oh yeah, and my breasts constantly feel like they’re about to explode. Also quite a libido killer.
“When the baby finally sleeps, there is nothing I would rather do than close my eyes myself”
In addition, I’m just so mega not normally terribly tired that when the baby finally sleeps I like nothing more than to close my eyes myself. Elvie is now almost six months old. I can be very brief about my sex life at the moment: there is none.”
Along the line
Monica (42): “Since I became the mother of Amber (2), I can never do a jumping jack during sports lessons. I’m way too scared that I’ll pee my pants.”
