[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt the OP is going to refuse to any cleaning, cooking, or shopping chores.  What I believe she is looking for, is to eliminate any EXPECTATION that she will do those things.

For example, no guarantee that dinner will be made.

During the first 3 years of a child's life is when the neuron pathways are built.  "A child’s adult capacities, it seemed, rests heavily on neural foundations developed through early learning experiences."

Here's an article about it.  Sure there are many.

That doesn't translate to a frantic need to be constantly entertaining the baby though. In fact the article you linked discussed the value of free play.

As for expectations, it sounds like she only wants to eliminate expectations on her end. It sounds like she's got plenty of expectations that her husband will get dinner and do chores when he gets home from work. Eliminating expectations is fine if that's a shared goal but it seems likely to lead to resentment if it's only one-way. [/quote]
