conv: I am slightly jealous of the time our new baby gets with my wife.  I understand the purpose and will deal with it but I also miss her too. A new baby means a lot changes.  One of those is the amount of time my wife and I have together. Yes_comma_ but they also bring about a lot of good changes as well. Agreed.  I know it's a necessary thing but I'm a little jealous of the time my wife spends with the baby. Yes_comma_ the first years of a baby's life_comma_ the mother pretty much spends entirely with them. The husband is kind of left out in the cold.
