A Challenge to Parents: Do “It” Every Day for a Week. Could You? Do You?
Everyone likes a challenge. But some are far easier than others. To make your bed every day for a week? That’s a cinch. To eat healthy every day for a week? That’s not just easy but can be delicious. To have sex every day for a week? That depends on who you are. But if you happen to be a parent? Well, having not just the stamina and the drive but also the time for sweet sweet lovin’ can seem like an impossible feat. But daily romps for seven days is a challenge that editors at BabyCenter are not just doing themselves but asking their readers to try. So what’s the deal?
The BabyCenter challenge starts on Valentine’s Day and will last for seven days, but if you’re reading this after Valentine’s Day, I’m sure any old day would do just fine. The folks there are looking at strength in numbers, saying that having a united full frontal front will help, “encourage each other and nudge each other along–because let’s face it, this isn’t going to be easy.” They added that, “at the end of the challenge, we can all share our stories of dying flames that were reignited. And maybe by then we won’t be so modest and we can also giggle about our favorite positions.”
Would you, could you or do you already have sex every day? And how do you fit in an active sex life with very active kids in the house?

Anomimama commented on Feb 15 11 at 7:40 amcould do it, but we’re already good: 2-3x a week, after kid’s in bed, isn’t always a big production…just do it, as they say…don’t understand when I hear folks haven’t had sex in a month or whatever…I mean, really?
andrea commented on Feb 15 11 at 7:48 amHaving sex with my husband every day is a geniune pleasure, not a chore. Just one more benefit of being a full time housewife. I always have the time, energy and interest in some sexytime with the man who steps up to the plate every day, and takes care of his family.
Anomimama commented on Feb 15 11 at 11:04 amLOVE IT, Andrea : )
Dee commented on Feb 15 11 at 12:38 pm<– 39 weeks pregnant. 2 small children already. Husband is working 5 days a week, 12 hour shifts. AND of the last 4 weeks, myself or the kids have been sick 3 of them.
I've had sex once this year. Seriously.
SAHM commented on Feb 15 11 at 12:42 pmI’m a stay at home wife and mom, too, Andrea, but I must be doing something wrong! :) I don’t have a ton of energy at the end of the day after taking care of kids, pets, the house, bills, meals, snacks, etc. That’s not to say we don’t still enjoy good sex, but I don’t think all SAHP can be lumped into the same category.
Tammy Amina commented on Feb 15 11 at 12:49 pmThat’s really beautiful Andrea
Lydia commented on Feb 15 11 at 1:17 pmI don’t know- wouldn’t making it something you Had to do take some of the fun out of it? Random is what’s best for us now.
kat commented on Feb 15 11 at 2:37 pmhm…we just moved and our 2 year old doesn’t like sleeping in the new house, so he is rarely asleep when we go to bed. We also have a 6 month old still in our bed. so no, we are definitely not having sex every night! 2 nights ago was the first time in 3 weeks. moving sucks! we also seem to trade colds around and I can’t do a man with sick breath ;)
Anonono commented on Feb 15 11 at 5:51 pmOnce a month or even less happens in many “normal” couples too. There doesn’t need to be such a focus on this. Not every guy wants to every day either-guys get tired too!
Linda, the original one commented on Feb 16 11 at 4:18 pmI think we “could” but I don’t really see the point. We have sex on a regular basis (a couple of times a week) so why turn it in to a chore because some magazine decides we should? I don’t get it..
