Parents need love, too.


Parents Need Love, Too.


In general, there's an understanding that deciding to have a child is a commitment. Most parents, planned or accidental, attempt to do what's best by their child. Of course, it may not always end up that way, but there's at least effort put towards it. But there's a lot of effort needed in every aspect of childrearing, whether the kid is a newborn baby or an older child. If both parents decide to stay together, their own relationship may have to take second fiddle to this force of nature that's entered your life.

It's important, though, to not let that relationship and its care fall by the wayside. Those who only bond through the child will be in for a rude awakening when they look up one day and realize they're with a stranger. Don't ignore those needs, either. Physical intimacy is important! So, at least once in a while, put your precious cargo to bed and remind each other how you got here in the first place

Rules
  • Comment with your character, preferences, etc.
  • AU, assume CR, do what you need to do. Young parents, teen parents, older parents, aged up, whatever. It's all good.
  • Reply to others.
  • RNG it uuup.


PROMPTS
  1. Obligatory Pregnant Sex Option: Can't have this meme without it!
  2. Moving into a New Place: Since your family's getting bigger, you've got to move to a new place. Better christen the new rooms.
  3. Planned: You knew what you were getting into...sort of.
  4. Accidental: This wasn't what you had in mind. Still, you're going to step up and try to
  5. Just Born: Baby's home, mother's home, now it's time to get back into the swing of things.
  6. Not Easy: The birth of your child was hardly a walk in the park, perhaps with threat of death. Everyone involved needs a little life affirmation.
  7. Make Me an Honest Wo/Man: You weren't married, but you're getting married now that there's a kiddo involved. It's your wedding night; make that count.
  8. Rambunctious Days: It's always go, go, go with your little one. A tiny break from it all wouldn't hurt.
  9. Long Nights: Sleeping together is tough when you have to get up every few hours.
  10. Get Away: Leave your bundle of joy with someone you trust and go on a nice parents' getaway.
  11. Need This: You haven't been with your partner for so long, you're craving them.
  12. Not in the Mood: Whether you don't feel particularly sexy these days or you really do have a headache, you'd just rather skip any intimacy.
  13. Inappropriate Places: You'd never expose your child to anything unseemly, but you two may find yourself alone in the nursery or in the back seat with the car seat.
  14. Encouragement: One of you isn't feeling so hot about your parenting skills; the other is being encouraging!
  15. Make Another: Only children can be so spoiled. You don't want your kid to be that way, so you'll get them a brother or sister.
  16. Can't Stay Away: Technically, you're not together. You only have to see each other to drop your kid off...or so you say.
  17. What I Saw in You: Maybe the spark hasn't been burning as hot lately, but suddenly, you see exactly what you saw in them the first time. Maybe even more.
  18. Not Old: As your kid(s) get older, you may feel like an old fogey. Time to remember what a stud you really are.
  19. Empty Nest: Kids are moved out. SEX IN EVERY ROOM AGAIN!
