    I would imagine that it varies from person to person, but don't feel bad if your just not in the mood ! What does help is to make the area you have sex, actually sexy ! When you have diapers, stuffed animals/dolls, the scent of baby around it can put a damper on things !

    Try to put your babies on some type of schedule, if they aren't already ! Toddlers yelling in the background, or hearing the Dora theme song can really turn off the mood...Lol

    Dim the lights, or at least try to darken the room a bit, put on something that makes you feel beautiful, which I know you already are ;) and most importantly try to relax and think about your husband/significant other, or what ever calms your mind !

    When your thinking about your children, did I turn off the oven, is the dog in the house it can take away from your relaxing experience, which can turn you off from sex !

    So again clear the environment of distractions, set the mood, sit back and relax !

    Oh taking a warm bubble bath, or shower prior together helps also if you can !

    I have 3 under 3. It is hard to have a drive for sex when tending to children. All I can say is try to keep the spark there. Hold hands with your hubs more. Have him hold you from behind when I are in the kitchen doing dishes or cooking. Just touching to show affection not sexual desire. Tell each other you love each other every chance you can. That helpe me and my husband keep our spark.

    After 3 kids..the dynamics have changed I am sure...the attention you once gave each other is now being shared if at all. You are probabaly so busy and tired running after, picking up after and driving the kids to, and making lunches for, and helping with homework etc. , It is a lot.  Speak to your husband. Try to schedule some time even if it is very late at nights. If all else fails..Seek a counsellor before it is too late. Please check in so we know how you  are doing ok? Take care!
