[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is really hard juggling a newborn and toddler. Really really hard.

What are your plans when the wife goes back to work?

I would bring in nanny earlier.

DH is a surgeon so he worked out of the house. We had our kids when he was in residency so he was working 80 hours. When he walked in the door, he took the baby.

OP, you should take the baby from 5pm to bedtime at a bare minimum AND clean up, cook, etc every night. Give your wife a small break. You should also hire help.[/quote]

Absolutely ridiculous. I have 4 kids, and maternity leaves have been by far the easiest stretches of my post college life. I wonder if the dw has some type of post-partum depression b/c this is not normal at all. If not, I'd be at the end of my rope because she sounds absolutely narcissistic and overly needy. She isn't looking for help w/ the children (of which she already receives an excessive amount) - she was looking for attention for herself. OP, you sound incredibly kind and thoughtful. Your set up is ridiculously generous as far as when you're home, what you contribute, etc. Your wife sounds like a nightmare. Don't let her walk all over you and push for more or make everything about herself. I don't know how you will last in this without being continually beaten down.[/quote]
