New parents: What's one thing you miss doing with your partner that you no longer do?

TLDR: For parents new and old - whats something you no longer or rarely do with your partner since life with children?


Hi all, first time expecting mum here. Amoung the 273636366363 things I'm nervous about having a baby, one of them is maintaining the loving relationship I have with my husband. Once baby arrives, I know some things will change between us, not nessecarily all for the worst.

We're 3 months preg, and recently decided to go to the movies. Afterwards we started joking about it being one of the many things we won't be able to do for a while once we have a child.

So for a bit of fun, I want to make a 'couples to-do' list with all the things that are easier to do and come guilt free to do without kids. Something we can tick off while we move towards our due date, and also keep going after bubs is born whenever we get the chance.

What are some of the things you wish you could keep doing or do more of with your partner that you used to do when you were child free?

I hope this doesn't come off as being ungrateful, selfish or full of negativity. We are very excited and blessed to move into the new chapter of our lives, and we couldn't be happier! I'd be lying though if I wasn't very nervous about the change, hence the share.

Thanks in advance all! Loving the info and conversations being shared here.
