Dear Helen, I have a three months old baby and I'm really happy about it. But I have to admit that these three months have been very difficult for me both physically and mentally. I believe it would be much easier for me if my husband was more active and more serious about his role as a father. I've been pointing out to him several times that I need more help with the baby and that he can't act like he is doing me a favor when I ask him to change diapers, prepare food, etc. I'm still not working and he is, so he often uses work as an excuse. Please give me your advice, am I mistaken?

Dear Helen, my husband and I sometimes have small arguments and we raise our voices and get a bit cheeky with one another. It does not represent a problem in our relationship, however, I often think about how it affects the children because sometimes they are present and can hear noise and feel the tension. Should we be more careful when arguing? Are those little arguments negatively affecting our children?

Dear Helen, I have a wonderful one-year-old baby and I feel as though my husband and I have mastered the role of parents, which makes me very happy. But our relationship is not as it once was, I feel I'm no longer attractive to my husband, and I do not want us to be a couple who loses all passion and romance after the baby's birth. I do not know what to do in order to awake those feelings in him again. I kindly ask for your advice.
