[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] OP is working from 9-5, as is his wife. Why should OP solely cover "second shift" from 5pm to bedtime? They should be equal participants in the second shift work.[/quote] Who is covering third shift? (nighttime wakeups) Also, doesn't a good father want to spend time with his kids? Be competent at bathing, feeding, etc?[/quote]
