Cosleeping & Sex Life

Cosleeping parents often struggle with maintaining their sex life while their children are young, but, in my opinion, there's always a way to compromise. Here are two things you can do:

Negotiate. A key point in negotiation is what you are willing to negotiate and what you are not willing to negotiate. For example: you maybe willing to negotiate that some nights are kid-free; however, it is non-negotiable never to have your child sleep with the two of you. The reason why it is called negotiation is both of you have to listen to each other's opinion and then come to the best choice for you as a couple. The minute it turns into a right-fight or me versus you, it is no longer a negotiation. Perhaps you could make weekends a kid-free zone in your bedroom and have your child only sleep in your bed on weekdays. That way, both you and your partner get the best of both worlds.

Schedule sex. The best thing you two can do is schedule your sex. Yes, yes, I know, how unspontaneous and unromantic. But if your bedroom has become take-a-number to get into bed, you have to schedule time when it is free and clear of any kids.
