Sex. Us Beta Mums don’t really have the energy these days, do we? Given the chance of an early night, I’m thinking comfy PJs, fluffy socks, and a nice Twitter/Instagram/Facebook scroll before rolling over and catching up on a little bit of that four-year sleep deficit.
No doubt there are some Alpha Mummies who are at it every which way and at every opportunity, but frankly, I’m exhausted just thinking about it.
Brilliantly hilarious and worryingly true!
Brilliant! Fluffy socks are sexy, right? Thanks for linking up to #FridayFrolics
They’re sexy in my book! 😉
Brilliant #FridayFrolics

Thanks Vickie! 🙂 x
Brilliant drawings, I looked at your other posts and made a beeline for this one! I’m so glad to see that I’m not the only one who falls into the beta mum bedtime antics:) X
Mainy – myrealfairy
That’s hilarious and oh so true! I need to show my hubby to prove that this is normal behaviour x #FabFridayPost
Ha ha yes I think it’s a common issue…! 😉 x
haha Love it, so true I am definitely NOT an alpha Mummy
#JustAnotherLinky
Haha, this is spot on!! Brilliant, thanks for linking up #bestandworst
Thank you 🙂
Ha ha – popping by from #coolmumclub, at the recommendation of Talya. This is hilarious!!! Fluffy socks, perfect 😉
[…] Sex – by The Adventures of Beta Mum – I just loved this funny and cute doodle post about what having sex as parents looks like […]
Brilliant post – laughing my head off!! Fellow fan of fluffy socks! #coolmumclub
Amazing! I nearly just weed chuckling away to myself ? x
Haha I absolutely love this!! So true on the 2 min thang lols what happened to our stamina? #coolmumclub
haha love it! #marvmondays
Haha, so so true! How things change once kids are around. I hardly have the energy anyway these days! Thanks for linking to #MarvMondays! Kaye xo
Haha I just cant help but love your drawings…LIGHTS OFF….Though to be honest the thought of it is tiring enought for me. I am totally on the grey pants train..I put an Iron man glove in with my underwear recently so everyhting is that white grey streaked pink colour. I can gaurantee if I have had a crappy day at work reading your posts wil lalways make me happy again. Thank you lovely #bloggerclubuk
Oh what a lovely comment, thank you! The whole point of my blog is to make people smile, so that’s fab to hear. Love the Iron Man story…! 😉
Hehehe this made me chuckle, your drawings are fab. I am always astounded at the people who’ve got pregnant again really quickly after their first baby – how is that possible?! It would have to be an immaculate conception for me paha. #BloggerClubUK
Yep…the second scenario definitely looks more familiar 🙂 #BloggerClubUK
ahahahahaah your cartoons are actually so bloody hilarious!! However I’d settle for Beta sex at the moment… one of the downsides of single mummydom!!
#marvmondays
Thank you! I’m right there with you because I am actually single too now so yeah, can’t afford to be too fussy 😉
lol I’d say this sums it up for most parents! Love the bits you point out in the before & after photos like smooth legs! Brilliant & well deserved feature on Friday Frolics! Thanks so much for linking up with us at #bloggerclubuk x
Oh you had my actually LOL. Bloody brilliant xxx
🙂 Thanks x
LOVE this
oh you are hilarious woman! Love it! The freshly washed sheets vs the baby vomit – inspired! The clock! Just brilliant! #fortheloveofBLOG
Look, I hate to ask, and I am flattered but can you stop drawing pictures of my life. Hahaha. Genius as always. Love it! 🙂 #fortheloveofblogs
Lol, sorry! 😉
I may have already commented on this, apologies if so! But it doesn’t age in the enjoyment stakes! I particularly like the ‘exciting box of tricks’ and whether or not to be relieved or frustrated…haha! So true! #fortheloveofBLOG
Oh so sadly true – especially the greying underwear(large pants are essential) and the ever intrusive baby monitor…. ‘hang on darling I think the baby has smothered herself…’ Hit the nail on the head as always! #fortheloveofBLOG
Love all your posts but this one makes me smile! I’m just writing one like this as i realised recently we between my horrid kids crap sleep and my lost libdo we haven’t had it in ages! Ha! Poor Hub! He’ll get over it 😉 #fortheloveofBLOG
Haha very good, and very accurate! Interesting that all of your commenters can identify too….you have a knack of hitting the nail on the head! #fortheloveofBLOG
I’m impressed you might have old sex toys under the bed… my kids would have had those by now, probably covered them in Playdoh! I must be a gamma mummy!
Ha. I think it’s romantic that they’re facing each other! Bad times eh?! Brilliant stuff. x #bigpinklink
I think this is my very favourite 😀 #bigpinklink #tribe
Looooooooooooooooool you crack me up!!!!! This is just blimming brilliant, I bet Alpha mummy had time for a bikini wax too, no unkempt bush for her! 😉 #bigpinklink
Very true and as always very funny! Im definitely more of a Beta mummy. #bigpinklink #triballove
Actually just cried laughing…so so true…
[…] OFFERED. Alpha Mummy may well manage to keep the baby happy, the house immaculate and the husband serviced, but seriously woman, just go take a […]
Haha this is so true!! Ahh the good old days. I have a bag of sexy undies in the top of the wardrobe. I can’t actually remember the last time I got any of them out! We’re usually so tired by the time we go to bed it’s all about getting sleep in before the baby wakes rather than bonking! #chucklemums
Wish I could say I was alpha but, as usual, I’m in beta mummy mode! #chucklemums
I’m sure many can relate to this! It’s like a race for me nowadays. Get whatever you can while the baby is asleep! #chucklemums
Ha, brilliant! Then when the kids lie-in you get dogs and the cycle starts all over again…I mean, why? Waatcha doin woof? Alison x #chucklemums
I adore your little doodles! I’m actually far more demanding than the Mr sexually ha x
I’m a once in a blue moon mummy because I value my sleep! #chucklemums
You’re drawings are totally spot on and this sums it up completely! #Chucklemums
Surely an Alpha Mummy by day wouldn’t have the energy to continue it at night?! Oh hold on, this is Alpha Mummy we are talking about, OK… i imagine the only time us Beta Mummy’s manage it is when we are trying to conceive!?! Oh the irony… #chucklemums ps. I am a big fan of bed socks
This is hilarious. I am so the Beta mummy in this scenario. Not even sorry #chucklemums
Scarily accurate and sooooo funny. Your drawings are always a joy to behold! Loved *supposedly soundo toddler*#chucklemums
Bwahahaha…large pants and bra!! And the lights off….nodding along and laughing. All so true. Your drawings make me laugh! Thanks for hosting #chucklemums
Oooh-errrr missus (of course, Mother and Father have absolutely no need to do this again ever at all now that they have me) #chucklemums
omg yes! Check out my post dear husband…
I wrote it for Suburban Misfit Mom and it is on my site http://www.fourprincessesandthecheese.com as well.
Bravo! The sketches are so awesome.
#chucklemums
Always one ear out for the ‘dum, dum, dum’ of toddler feet. Although in my head its to the tune of a horror movie ‘dum, dum, daaah’!
#chucklemums
I can’t get over the fluffy bed socks! #chucklemums
I quite enjoy the pivotal pause when you’re almost done (ahem) then both imagine you can hear a child escaping from their bed. Very definite passion killer, even if your ears deceive you. #chucklemums
Seriously who can really be arsed these days? I reckon even Alpha Mum would rather be watching a repeat of Mock the Week on Dave.
The only thing that frustrates me is how often people with children want to get it on on TV. It’s just not realistic. Loved this post. #Chucklemums
Oh I can’t believe I haven’t seen this one before! Hilarious. I am in the third bracket, that one being “no sex at all” so I can’t possibly comment! #chucklemums
Hahahha your pictures always crack me up! And I never have smooth legs.
Also, #chucklemums
Brilliant yet so true! I find a lot of myself in this lol #chucklemums
This is amazing! I rarely properly belly-laugh-out-loud at posts, but this did it! #chucklemums
It’s not just me who owns a large grey bra!? Whoop whoop… I no longer feel alone in my off-white undies! ? Xx #chucklemums
I want to say alpha but that would be telling a fib. Thanks for the laugh.
