[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I get not wanting to spend all day cooking and cleaning. Some outsourcing is fine, but honestly it seems weird to me that you want to focus 100% of your energy on the baby like a nanny. You aren't a nanny. Your child is going to have a weird perception of the world is your life completely revolves around him/her. I'm a working mom, but a lot of my bonding time with my toddler involves him standing on his kitchen stool and "helping" me prep dinner. We go to the park and then hit up the grocery store together. He mimics me using a towel to clean the floor. He is my "organizer helper" for putting away laundry. Of course I do outsource deep cleaning and a lot of free time is spent at the park, library, classes, birthday parties, etc. But your child is supposed to learn how the world works through spending time with you. Not everything has to be some carefully planned Pinterest activity.[/quote] +1 [/quote]
