When Zac was born that was the toughest six months of our relationship, with the lack of sleep and juggling the newborn and with Molly still being only one and then we learnt actually as long as both of us weren't extremely tired we’d make it work. One could account for the other but ultimately it comes down to communication, the day we stopped communicating and being honest about how we’re feeling, if we’re struggling, if we’re doing well, that’s when we hit a few issues.
"Tensions start to go and you start going at each other when you’re tired, or stressed and I think when you express that feeling to your partner they have understanding and more tolerance for your go-to behaviour. For us it's communicating and staying friends that comes after. We just make sure we make time for ourselves, it doesn’t feel like we do but kids in bed, watching a football match together or watching a TV series or we play on the PlayStation together.
