Mum uses maths to work out if she'll sleep with her husband tonight

Would the results of this equation equal your baby daddy getting lucky?

If you tell your partner that their contribution to easing your mental load in terms of chores, and parenting, will give them a better chance of getting lucky that night, you're not alone.

For many women (who generally take on most of the work), there's nothing sexier than a truly equal partner.

In fact, one mum has gone so far as to create a maths equation to work out whether her libido will be lax or max by 9pm - and it's the most relatable thing, ever.

“(Hours of Sleep + Number of Real Meals Eaten While Seated) x Partner Support ÷ Number of Annoying Comments He Made — Number of Times Touched by Children = Mom Libido,” mum of two Maddie Muhs calculated in a now-viral Instagram video.

She then takes us through the calculation for that day... 

“Not a f—ing chance,” she concludes, despite eight hours of sleep, three full meals, helpful husband duties — but then about a thousand toddler touches.

Muhs, a talent agent and mum with two toddlers, says her husband had “no notes” on the formula — though he warned she’d “piss off a lot of men” by posting about it.

“And I did,” she told Today.com when speaking to them about the Instagram clip.

Although she has no regrets, the post was very divisive. Many supported the realistic portrayal of life with kids.

One cheered, “Yes!!! I just sent this to my husband!”

Another added, “We gotta find a way to add in how long the husband takes to poop.”

“Women in STEM,” one joked about the use of the calculation.

Even a dad agreed the assessment was fair, writing, "Yeah, I became a stay at home dad. Safe to say intimacy became an afterthought. Haha. I understand now."

But then there were some brutal responses.

“Don’t get married and have kids if you refuse to meet your husband’s needs. Definition of a trap right there. No love in your relationship,” one angrily wrote.

Another complained: “Women using this as an excuse to not have sex with their husband, but also don’t want their husband having sex with anyone else.”

Muhs, who says post-baby pressure isn’t just about snapping back into pre-baby jeans, but being in pre-baby form in bed, said that “male hormones are wired one way — it’s always sex, sex, sex," but she argues that the calculations shows there's much more to it for most women.
