We used to be able to do things together like golf, go to the movies, the beach, and now we can't really do those things.

It is so nice to hear that you want to do things together, most couples stop living after they have children and that is when the problems begin in a marriage. Your child may only be 3 months only but can you not find a babysitter or parents or very close friends that will take the child for a few hours to give the two of you some alone time. You need to continue your relationship to keep it strong. It may be hard at first to leave your child but trust me you will be rewarded for doing it. It gives you a break and will make you feel so much better when you return. Just try going away for an hour or two to do shopping or dinner with your husband and then you will feel safer and it will get easier each time you do it. If a babysitter is absolutely out of the question then go visit friends that have children to for some adult conversation, or have a couple over that has children and have a dinner or just for drinks and a card game. That way you are there with your child but can enjoy an evening with your husband and friends. They may even be able to suggest some ideas as well, or a babysitter. Best of luck to you and your family.

Been there and done that. Its a really tough time. Its a little like being in prison those first few months. You really can still do a lot of things, but it begins to be a question of whether it is worth it. Our biggest activities became things where we could push the strollers. (we had two). Went to the mall some, some flea markets, lots of festivals and outdoor events whenever the weather was pleasant. Also spent alot of time with friends and family that were in similar circumstances.

Its hard to do anything for the first year,just try to enjoy the time together, rent movies, play cards and remember its only a short while until the baby is old enough to do more things

you're no longer a foul mom by using any skill. although if I have been you i might turn off the television during the day just to ascertain she isn't getting too related. it is not good for everyone to take a seat and watch television for hours at a time. attempt looking greater stimulating toys. perhaps, create some glittery issues for her for Christmas. in simple terms attempt to maintain her faraway from the television as much as achieveable yet whilst it happens each now and back that's nice.

I wish I knew an answer for you but I don't. My only advice is to find something for just the two of you. If you don't at least one of you will be miserable. Kids are great and everything but at the same time, you still have your marriage in addition to being parents. Don't neglect that.

My wife and I bought a back pack carrier for our child. I can not remember what it was called right now but basically it was a carrier built for putting a child on you back while biking, walking, and hiking. This freed us up to do pretty much anything outside other than sports. It was comfortable and kid usually went to sleep when he was in there.

You should be glad you do not have to play golf again-the most stupid and asinine game there will ever be.Missing golf is worth everything.
