Well I can't speak for celebrity moms who have the luxury of being able to foist a kid off on a nanny at a whim to go work out, have a spa day, work, go out with their friends or SO's, etc. (and have no compunctions about additional people raising their kids), but looking back now for about 2 to 3 years after I became a mom I think I forgot what sleep was. Not to mention eating a full meal, taking a crap/piss/shower, talking on the phone, shopping or having a freaking adult conversation that was not interrupted. Things like this can't NOT affect a relationship. I probably could have gotten a little more sleep if I'd been willing to forgo sex with my husband, but being a little brain dead for a few years was probably the right choice since lack of sex probably would have made us both crazier than we already were.

I regret nothing but to all couples 'waiting' to have kids you are never really ready. So I guess there's some truth to this article. Once we got through the toddler years (and yeah there were great and wonderful experiences and such...it wasn't HELL or anything, just took a lot out of us) life was a breeze and we were able to focus on us more.
