Well?

[Poll]

Other

We have more stuff to get irritated about and less energy to argue about it

punkfiction · July 2009

other. we were not arguers before - and we're not after. there are more things to stress about now, but we are pretty relaxed.

radiokate · July 2009

Other: We didn't argue before, and we don't argue now. Apparently we are two very amiable people, because we have never fought about anything.

Amy Schramm · July 2009

We don't really argue-- maybe once or twice a year, which is about the same as before DS.

I said less, but that's probably because I'm on Cymbalta.

money money money.

Timeg · July 2009

Other - we don't argue a lot, but we argue more than we used to (which was next to never).

I do laot of the stuff for DS and when I try totell MH how things are done then he gets mad at me for telling him what to do. If he did it more often then I wouldn't have to tell him. PLus he seems to have a shorter fuse now at times of the dumbest things and I need to remind him that it is not the end of the world.

money money money.

That was the source of most of our arguements before. Now we just seem to be on the same page about how much to worry about it.

This is us exactly. So, I guess the answer is "the same" but we don't really ever argue.

papagena · July 2009

Other -

I think for awhile it was more - because DH lost his job & that stress, not really because of DC. Our dynamic has definitely changed since DS was born - not all because of him, also because of the work situation. I think we're starting to find our new equilibrium, and we've gotten back to about the same. It's the same stuff that we argue about, though - housework mainly, and the occasional money disagreement.

Goodysgirl · July 2009

Others- same as above- we were never fighters and we still aren't. Sure, we disagree on things sometimes, but we respectfully talk it out.

mrs.mickulz · July 2009

We weren't fighters before. There are more things that we disagree on now that DD is here, but we usually come to a compromise pretty easily.

tarebear9891 · July 2009

a little more- there just always seems so much to do and DH works from home 1-10 so he really can't help me get things done after I get off work (like feed DS, bath DS, get him to bed, cook dinner, clean, take care of the pets). He doesn't really want to clean before work so we have been argueing a little about that.

Same for us. We've had ONE disagreement in the last year, and I think the last one before that was about almost a year earlier. We're just both really easy going people and neither of us sweat the "small stuff." Most of life is small stuff.

CEO1197 · July 2009

Definitely less. Most of the arguments we had before DD were all me being pissed off about not having kids yet and DH being convinced he couldn't handle kids.

We still fight about money, tho! LOL.

Wassygirl · July 2009

other. it is about the same, but our fights are less like fights and more like disagreements.

KittenGator · July 2009

Less, I think we realize we're a team and need to stick together. We didn't argue a lot before.
