I did the opposite of attachment parenting.

My kids have been sleeping through the night since they were 6 months old. They have their own bedrooms and our bedroom is only for us to enjoy.

Parenting is stressful all on its own. Staying at home adds isolation and more stress to my life since I'm in charge of the household plus my 3 yr old, my 2 yr old and my newborn. I'm a dedicated mother during the day, i take my kids to places, playgrounds, play dates, the mall, grocery shopping, the parks, I cook, I clean, I fold, I feed my kids, I play with them, etc. Everything.

But they also go to bed by 7:00 pm. After that, I'm my husbands wife. We normally have sex every other day, every two days. We watch movies together at night, we have candlelight dinners, we can also go out on dates since our kids sleep through the night uninterrupted so anyone can babysit.

My kids a low maintenance, they have zero attachment issues, they're as happy as they can be, growing wonderfully. My husband and I are on excellent terms, we get along great and we're happy being parents.

We gave ourselves time to be a couple. I sincerely think the sleep training was a big part of how our relationship is now and how the things go at home too.

I didn't want to neglect my husband. I didn't read any parenting books but I did what I thought it made sense. Sacrificing my marriage like your wife and tons of mothers now are doing just to make sure the baby has no attachment issues? Or whatever it is that attachment parenting claims, I wanted to avoid this.
