[quote=Anonymous]Negotiate dinner with the kids. He can work a zillion hours a week, but can he make four dinners with the kids a week? That plus a full weekend day would be my minimum.

You will need paid help and you need to budget for it in advance.  You would need a night nurse to help during the fuse three months of newborn phase and babysitting for older dc during the second pregnancy. Cleaning until the youngest is in kindergarten, at least.  To be clear, I think your kids need more, but if you two prioritize paid help when budget planning, you can make his family time count.

You will need to be extremely organized and resourceful, taking on 100% of the household mental load. This includes car maintenance, house maintenance, packing for a move, yard work, family doctors appointments, sick kids, Christmas presents, vacation details, taxes, bills, grocery shopping, and the family social calendar. This will enable him to do three things: work, sleep, and spend time with his family. [/quote]
