Uh, no. It's for her to recover - having 14 hour days with no break with an infant is mentally and physically exhausting like nothing else. [/quote]

Yet billions of women, until your generation, did exactly this and, somehow, miracously survived.[/quote]

NP. Living apart from other generations is a relatively new phenomenon.  There's a reason that people say "it takes a village to raise a child"...not because people are pioneer women who struggle through 14 hour days of child-rearing, but because they had the support of the family and friends surrounding them.

Also, "survival" is not the goal. A happy, healthy mom should be the goal. That requires support and work by the child's OTHER PARENT. Dad should be coming home after work to relieve the mom and spend time with his infant. It sounds like he wants to have the baby without giving up his pre-baby freedom - not gonna happen. [/quote]

Single mother's seem to cope without constant whining.[/quote]
