Good, but not great

My husband and I bought this book when our daughter was about 3 months old and we realized that our relationship was REALLY strained. We enjoyed the candid essays, but found that some of them simply did't apply to our situation. Though it was comforting to know that others struggled the way we do. Sadly, some of the essays did not end happily. Some end in divorce, and one even admitted that he yearns for his days before his child was born. I kept hoping that it would have a happier ending.

Hilarious

My wife read this and absolutely loved it. She thought it was hilarious. Me? She made me listen to one of the stories while she read it aloud. I gotta admit, not bad...

It used to be just the two of you. Now you have a baby, or maybe even a few kids, and the luxury of time?to frolic, talk, romance, and simply hang out?is gone, replaced by a big dose of chaos and the demands of little people who rule your home with small, adorable iron fists.

Parenthood brings changes to your relationship, changes that are at once profound, beautiful, irrevocable, and scary. These changes knock you off balance, forcing even the most secure couples to go back to the basics in figuring out how to define a new version of ?we.?

In Blindsided by a Diaper, some of today?s most popular writers dare to tell what it?s really like for couples in the trenches of the parenting experience. They boldly reveal intimate aspects of their relationships, sharing the choices they?ve made, the joy and frustrations they?ve experienced, the trials and tribulations of their sex lives, the lessons they have learned, and how their lives together as parents may or may not be what they were expecting. The writers have quite literally invited you inside their bedrooms, their minds, and their lives as parents.
