Anyone else touched out?

The baby woke up before 7 so I took him downstairs so his noises didn't wake up DD.  But of course she woke up cranky soon after and came downstairs.  I spent all morning nursing, cuddling, and drinking coffee with the kids.  When it was time for DS's nap I took him upstairs and put him down.  DH, of course, saw me and wanted me to cuddle in bed with him. 

I'm so tired of cuddling!  I just want some space!  So I told him I needed to finish my coffee and returned downstairs, where DD is still climbing on top of me.  Luckily, DH fell back asleep and will probably forget that I rejected him.

Re: Anyone else touched out?

  • A similar thing happened to me last Sunday.

    DS was overly tired, and wanted me to hold him while he watched his cartoons. I then put him down for a nap, and DD needed me. I held and rocked her to sleep for her nap, and then I go to bed where DH is napping. He wants to "cuddle" with me (HA!) and I told him I was too tired and really wanted to nap. He was pissy for about 3 seconds and then started snoring again. lol

  • I think I'm feeling the same way. I crave some 'just me' time. I EBF so I feel like I am always sharing my body. I'm not as huggy, touchy with DH anymore but that may be fatigue/hormones as well.

  • Definitely, I don't cuddle with SO anymore at night, but that's also because he is sooooooo hot. (LOL) But I'm not nearly as touchy feely as I used to to be.

  • DH must be feeling neglected from the nonexistant cuddles. 

    We went to bed the other night... and he pretty much had me pinned down all night. I guess he really just wanted to cuddle.. and I kept rolling away. I did not sleep at all... because I felt smothered and just wanted my side of the bed!!

  • Luckily the dog plops all of his 70 lbs in between the two of us so if we are cuddling anyone it's Killian.

  • Lol, DH forceful snuggles when he really wants attention. I'm the anti-snuggle (unless it's post nookie) so I tend to try and escape this snuggles. He is like a furnace and has. I problem being sweaty while sleeping.. I can't stand it!
