It is difficult for both parents to adjust to the fact that they have one more member to whom u own responsibility of taking care,spending time,bringing him up in the best possible way.We females keep the child in r wombs for 9 months,during that time to some extent r body and mind gets prepared for the coming responsibility.But males realise it only when the baby is born,so they take more time to adjust. U both can do this together by making him feel close to the baby,letting him have the child in with him without poking in. Organise ur work.Try to do the household chores when ur baby is sleeping.Also cook food before ur husband is home,afterall what r refrigerators and microwaves for.In the evening dress up properly.When u will b mentally free from work u will want to spend time with ur hubby.Also then it will b ur hubby and baby's time.

There's plenty of ways to still spend time together. Some of my fondest memories are of being completely exhausted after being up all night with our baby and crawling into bed to snuggle up to him just before he had to get up for work. Or how we'd sneak a bath together at night when she'd first go to sleep. If you want it bad enough, you find ways to still spend a few intimate moments together and show your spouse that you still love them and need them.

I totally disagree with what you have said. For me it all depends on how the couple manage their time and how they have planned everything. When I got married, I gave birth immediately to my now 5 month old baby. I and my husband got used to spending time together almost 24 hours a day. When we have work that is the only time we are not together and the rest we are always on each others side. When I was still pregnant I have been thinking so many times on how we are going to adjust once the baby is born. But all the negative thoughts were gone when my husband proved that he still have time for me and we both changed for better. I take care of the baby and he is the one who is working. We don't have a baby sitter yet but we are already looking so that I can help him again and be back to work. I still prepare everything for him. I wash his clothes, I do the dishes, iron his clothes and cook food for us. I never want him to feel tired if he's at home. Plus I take care of the baby so he is very lucky (that is according to him.) Then when there are occasions like last Valentine's Day we went out and enjoyed. He asked his mother to come over the house and take care of our baby. That is what he always do when he want to spend time with me alone. He is also a very loving father because he also let me go out to buy some groceries and he takes care of our baby. It is just a matter of give and take. We still manage to watch movies at home and to make fun on each other whether our baby is awake or sleeping. I always believe that if you want something you can always find a way to do it and that is what we have practiced.
