Hi nhklh!

How did you and your partner meet? And what relationship advice can you offer for success over the years? Especially after having children?

:) What was it that made you want children? Have you always wanted them? Or was it a lightbulb moment or ???

What is completely different about being a parent than you thought it would be?

To throw away the clocks!  2 hours sleep feels like crap, but it feels worse when you're acutely aware of the minutes.

Just how intense the first couple of years can be.  

I guess I'm a bit surprised at how "unconventional" I am, but it's so normal to me now that I really don't think about it.

I live in South Australia, and I've always lived here.  I haven't travelled so can't really say if it's my favourite, but it's what I know, and what I have.  I'd probably just live here for those reasons lol.

Oh we had dodgy beginnings!  We were both with other people, and I knew her partner first.  We did the wrong thing and were sneaking around for a while before breaking up with the others and moving in together.  We laugh now about how sleazy it all was.

To choose to be together, and make the choice to work through problems.  And have lots of sex.  Especially after having children!

I just always have, apart from a couple of years in my teens.  I never pictured parenting children with a father though, funnily enough.
