I love my son dearly, but sometimes he’s the biggest cockblock around. He’s 7 months old, so it’s not like he’s doing it intentionally. But when he hits another growth spurt or decides to cut another tooth and then won’t go to sleep (and therefore won’t let us sleep) until midnight but insists on waking up (and therefore waking us up) at 5:30 again, he doesn’t leave us with a lot of energy for sex. Unsurprisingly, this hits my wife much harder than me (stereotypes of male and female sexuality have an awful lot of basis in reality), but occasionally it hits me as well.
It’s important for us men in this situation to realize that unless we were conned into children we didn’t really want (which is decidedly not my case – my son was wanted, and I have the fertility treatment bills to prove it) this is not your wife’s fault. Small children are tiring and demanding. And although I’m disappointed, I’m not really upset at the kid, either. He’s just being a kid – it’s what they do.
But I’m totally going to remember it when he’s sixteen and have an absolute blast returning the cockblocking favor. Mwahahaha!
