[quote=Anonymous]Agreed with pp and that's kind of how dh and I approach it. 
He leaves for work crazy early (5am) so that he can be home to pick up dd around 4:30 and then go to park, grocery shop or make dinner. He does the cooking at least one day a week- simple stuff, breakfast for dinner, roasted fish and veg etc. I have later days at work when he's doing pickup and dinner prep and come home at 5:30 other days (short commute). Dinner takes 30 min tops. I make roasted chicken in a variety of sauces (marinate in the am). Quick tiny tiny meatballs- oven for 15 min, roasted fish, zucchini pancakes, steamed or sautéed veg etc. I cook 3 dishes at once and am a whirlwind in the kitchen. Dd either plays by herself nearby or with dh. We have a playroom off the kitchen and she's usually content in there. Sometimes she helps or bangs on pots and pans. On weekends I make batches of lentils and soup in instant pot as well as lasagna and a big batch or roasted chicken or stuffed peppers. Some of that is frozen, the chicken we can eat Monday, Tuesday etc. 
Expecting baby #2 and a little scared of how it'll impact our routine, but we will adapt and lower expectations for dinner again for a while. [/quote]
