[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, he is capable. I am going to have surgery that requires six weeks of being out of work next month. I’m not worried about any of this. Some things we already outsource, like cleaning. We have a special needs kid so he will be getting up insanely early with her instead of splitting days we me and changing her diaper, etc. He already does our laundry. He doesn’t really cook, but we will all be fed. He will take our neurotypical kid to dance and acting in the evenings.  I’m sure he will have moments of being annoyed when I need “one more thing”, but he isn’t going to leave me without food or drink. He will help me with my at home PT.

Honestly, let’s pretend I died during surgery — both my kids and my home would be just fine!!! Frankly, my husband is neater than I am. Our neurotypical kid might do fewer activities, but who cares? He will not sign up for summer camp until the last minute so they might not get their preferences, but again, who cares? I don’t understand procreating with people that cannot care for a child — at least you shouldn’t have more than one kid once you figure out your spouse sucks at this.[/quote]

Let me add. It hasn’t even occurred to me to “prep in advance” other than making sure our downstairs bedroom is clean enough for me to live in and move my clothes down there since stairs will be a problem.[/quote]
