Liz,
It's so funny, but this is EXACTLY how I've been feeling. I just had two of my nephews visit for 2 weeks, and while I loved every minute they were here, my dh and I really missed our alone time. And all the little things like watching what WE wanted to watch on TV, etc. etc. I also recently babysat (overnight) my friend's two boys (1 and 3) - boy, was that an experience!! The day they left I told my dh that I don't know if I have the patience to be a good parent. But...everyone says that it's different when they're your own. I hope to find out someday soon...
I couldn't have said it any better myself...thanks for your post.
PS - I've been ttc for 5 years and I'm getting ready for my 4th IVF cycle.
