Why People Get Divorced

I have a pretty wonderful husband and relationship and could never imagine what would ever make us fight - we don't...ever! But, after having a baby, I now know why people have issues.



#1 - You are both sleep deprived and therefore punchy 100% of the time
#2 - Neither of you are the people in the wedding photos - well rested, groomed, showered, etc
#3 - The casseroles/pre-made dinners stop coming at some point and you are forced to feed on whatever takeout is close which makes getting baby weight off near impossible
#4 - One of you goes back to work and asks one of two forbidden questions: What did you do all day? Can you get up with the baby because I have to go to work?

What do you mean what did I do all day? I know that you cannot tell from the house that looks like an episode of Hoarders or from the take out boxes from this week's dinners, but I WORKED ALL DAY! I fed, changed, pumped, changed, fed, changed....your baby all day. So sorry I didn't put myself together and walk out of the door, but I worked. And another thing - "No! I can't take a nap, so don't even think you aren't getting up in the middle of the night!".

I love my husband, but he knew those two questions would be the end of him, yet he was compelled to ask them anyway. I may or may not have given him the silent treatment as his penance, although he would probably tell you that was a welcomed break for him :)
