This woman’s Facebook post about sex after kids is spot on

HerFamily

When you have kids, it’s hard to get a spare second to go to the toilet never mind setting aside some alone time for you and your partner.

One woman has taken to Facebook to talk about the challenges of “parent sex” and let’s just say, a LOT of people relate to it.

The piece, written by 32-year-old blogger and mum-of-four Constance Hall, has received over 102,000 ‘Likes’ and has been shared more than 26,000 times.

Her post in full reads:

We had “parent sex” yesterday.

You know what parent sex is, it’s that 3.5 minutes you get in between changing nappies and making food,

Where you notice that all of your kids are pretty distracted,

Where you realise it’s been almost a month since you banged and are starting to feel like flat mates,

Where your husband’s seduction consists of one finger pointing towards the bedroom and the other hand on his dick,

Where you position the bed to have one foot against the door because for a loud bunch of kids, yours can be pretty quiet when they’re sneaking up on people,

Where no matter how hot it is you chuck the doona on top of yourselves in case someone manages to barge through and catch mummy and daddy doing “yoga” in bed,

It’s a pretty romantic scene really, listening to Iggle Piggle in the background, knowing your days are numbered when you here the add break.

Men are amazing and impressive creatures, by sheer determination, it’s inspiring how one can manage to “finish” under such circumstances, us women, aren’t always so easy.

All the while gleefully thinking about how much of a sex goddess, vixen you are and how your fella is finally going to stop being an arse for at least a whole day.

Well mine was pretty impressed, even if I just lied there, saggy boobs, baby belly pouch, hairy minge and all, he still thinks I’m amazing.
