Did you and your spouse argue more once you had kids?

My hubby and I are planning to conceive early next year. Right now, our marriage is almost picture perfect. We never fight, have no money issues, no sex issues, etc. Once we have a baby do you think we will argue more? I assume the lack of sleep combined with the stress of a baby will be tough. Any advice on how to get through it and not let the stress get to us?Did you and your spouse argue more once you had kids?
Lots and lots of patients. My husband and I would argue about who's turn it was to get up with the baby. Both sleep deprived. You will get threw it just take a deep breath and count to 25. Keep saying to your self this getting up all night will not last for ever. If you have a good relationship like you say then the baby will only make it better.Did you and your spouse argue more once you had kids?
You've got it right.


Baby=lack of sleep=stress=irritability+arguing


To combat it you need to forgive and forget. Remember that what ever is said under stress is not meant.


It helps to give your spouse more of what they like even if you don't feel like it or want to do it just fake it.


Give hubby's more sex.


Give wives more affection and help around the house!
A good sense of Humor!!
I am in a relationship with my 4 year live in boyfriend with no kids of his own. We are pretty much together as you can get. I also have an 8 year old son from a previous marriage.





Parenting is our major issue, we would almost never fight if it wasn't for that difference in our relationship.





Kinda sucks.





I think if you have the chance to talk about your styles beforehand you have a better chance of knowing if you agree where the other person stands. All the other daily stresses can be worked through if your relationship was good in the first place.
to answer your question, yes, we argue more once we had kids.... well my first one, he was in the process of learning everything so i took care of most of it and it made me stress... a baby does test your patience BUT they are so worth it in the end... you'll begin to wonder where you would be without them... anyways, my advice is to make changing the diapers, feeding, bathing, etc. into a game so you both can share chores.... for example, my hubby and i play 'paper, rock, scissor' when one of the baby has a dirty diaper... and giving each other ';me'; time is always great... one watch baby for a hour of the day while the other one does whatever helps to relax... all i can say is good luck...
Yes we did. Stress, lack of sleep, family thinking they know more about your baby than you do...it all adds up to arguing! The main thing is to know that life is going to change, no matter what, and just keep pushing through together.
Well it depends if you do all the work then yes you will be a little pissy at him due to all the work and stress and somethings you would not fight about you might fight when the baby comes try a test what if. ask what if our child goes to a friends house how old would he or she have to be and see your response and his is you will be surprised on what he says about things and yes it will change your sex life too you will have to pick your moments there was a spot on TV that says a baby will change everything and it does.
