Thought we'd check on how things are going with your SO!
Our youngest child is 3 years old, and parenting is getting easier and easier! There are still curveballs (like how she's been waking up in the middle of the night) but all in all, things are so much easier and we have more time to spend together. Only trick is that we have a lot of work on our plates lately, so we don't get as much time together as we'd both like.
How is your relationship going now, and how old is your youngest child?

Not super great relationship wise but we are working on it. 
Our youngest is 8 months old today.

Things this week are great! I say this week as I am 7 months pregnant and can be cranky and difficult! This pregnancy has been rough on our relationship- but I can feel the tides changing and that makes me happy. LO is 18 months and EDD 12/13/14.

My youngest is 11 months old, and we're doing great. This month we have a bathroom renovation and birthday party planning on our plates, which means less time spent together at night. We do set aside a few days to take a break. The kids are sleeping better, but they wake up pretty early (5-6). We're working on a system of taking turns with the early morning wake ups.

One LO, 2 1/2. Parenting is getting less tiresome. We're both much more confident parents now. We really just have to remember to bring diapers if we go out because she eats anything.
We have more relationship issues due to stresses at work than parenting. Arguments seem more intense now but not more scary. Disagreements seem more frustrating because we are committed. It seems backwards but I just expect certain things, and so does he. But if those things are in conflict, it seems insurmountable and hopeless. But we always pull it together.

We kind of have a mutual understanding that life is nuts right now with me being in school - which means our relationship gets put on the backburner, but we're okay with it and just help each other out when/where we can. He's super supportive and a great partner! I couldn't ask for anything more.

Good! It's been getting easier and easier lately relationship wise though life he gotten harder in a lot of ways. Our son is 2.5 but we have another on the way in a few months though.

It's challenging. Both of our jobs realistically demand quite a bit more than 40 hrs/week. We have no family nearby and very few friends. Our daughter is 2.5 and has hit a really tough stage of toddlerhood. Things are tough right now.

Our relationship is good for having 3 LO's and our youngest is not even 3 months. We really make an effort to spend quality time, even if it's just an hour or two, together every day.

I'd say things are good but they could be better. Our younger LO is 7 months and just sleep trained so we now have some time at night to spend together, we were previously co-sleeping. We do have to work on how to spend those two hours before bed, there's a lot of tv and staring at our phones.

Dh has ALOT on his plate with work at the moment so that's putting more strain on our lives than we're happy with, but we've plans on how we'll get through it. But on the whole, we're good Our only LO is 13 months.

Having a child has been the greatest thing ever for our relationship. Now that we're out of the harder part and into the fun part (3 year old), life has never been better. Our daughter, and the shared purpose we've found in raising her, has been just amazing for us.

So so at 2 years old. It's much better than the worst time, but far from really good. My husband is a great parent and partner in parenting...the best. But partner-wise were at a slightly slightly better than neutral place and honestly a lot of our issues are things I could've anticipated before getting married. We are both willing I keep working on it though and LO brings us closer.

My youngest child is -2 months old 
I've seen DH been so selfless and putting in so much more without complaint during this pregnancy and I am thankful for his support!

I think it's good. DH solo-parented for 1 whole week and did surprisingly well on his own. Prior to that, the longest he's ever taken care of her alone was for a day (drop-off/pick-up at daycare, dinner, bed).
LO is 27.5 months old

Hi!
DD is 3.5 yo and DS is turning 2 next month. We've definitely hit a point in parenting 2 young kids that feels a bit calmer and easier like we actually know what we are doing. I love the DD is starting to really understand the lessons and values we try to teach her such as manners and differences between right and wrong and why they are that way. She is following rules a lot better. The challenge with her is how to keep her busy and engaged.
She is like a sponge and just wants to constantly be doing something. It's definitely a lot to keep up with. DS just loves everything his sister does which may or may not work against us sometimes. It makes for some epic stand offs between the two of them. I hope they will truly understand how to share and be willing to do it. But other than that, they Are sleeping well, eAting decently, trying to learn to do things for themselves. All I can ask for
