Rebalance roles
Your man comes home late from work and no longer has time to give your child a bottle or bath. As a result, you manage everything, all alone. And a helping hand would be of great help to you. Discuss with your man to find a compromise. Either he works less or you call for outside help such as a nanny or a maid to manage everything. Also explain that in 2012, it is time for household chores to be shared equitably. It's time for parity, right? He's still balking? So just take care of yourself and baby. If he wants clean clothes, he will have to wash them. A clear way to send him the message that everyone must put his own.

Find a life of couple
Since when did not you go out to the restaurant or the cinema with your man? Give yourself a well-deserved break. Entrust your little one to stepmom and go on weekends. Bet on the change of scenery, choose a small charming hotel and play the game. Make yourself beautiful, take care of yourself, surprise him, in short find the complicity of your debut. The babysitter canceled herself? Instead of canceling, have a good meal delivered when baby is lying, and light candles for a romantic evening. If not, opt for a thalassotherapy with your man and your child. What to rest in family.

Help your man find his place

Get involved from the first days of your pregnancy and take haptonomy classes to prepare for delivery. Even if you are breastfeeding, daddy can quite bath, change baby... your man is a little clumsy? Do not blame him for his lack of experience. On the contrary, value these actions, even the small ones. Support him daily and help him find his place in this new life of three.

Take care of yourself
Since the birth, you complex. Your body takes time to regain its tone and your little pounds remain on the hips ... Result, you jump in your jeans and put on a T-shirt from the jump of the bed to be operational and carefully avoid the reflection of the mirror. Release the pressure a little! As for the hairdresser, you gave up going there, for lack of time. Maternity puts couples under severe strain. And maintaining a relationship requires work every moment. What image do you refer to your man if you neglect yourself? Give yourself a real good night's sleep, then go to the beautician, go shopping with girlfriends, make an appointment at the hairdresser. If necessary, give yourself a makeover or a new haircut at a hairstylist. Put yourself to work if you can, in short, take charge. Renew with seduction and show your man that you care about him and your couple, as the first day.
