[quote=Anonymous]Having a regular housecleaner for the big stuff is certainly reasonable if you can afford it. Not getting to daily household tasks because you are having a particularly demanding time with the baby is to be expected and can go on for a while if you have a difficult baby. However, IME, one of the best aspects of having one parent at home is that you CAN get a lot of the day-to-day chores done during the day so both parents can relax in the evenings and weekends and spend time with the kids and each other. OP's insistence on saving anything not specifically kid-related until DH is home seems like it will just add stress to the day and the relationship. All so you don't have to prep dinner during naptime or fold a load of laundry while baby plays? Short-sighted and suggests to me that you don't feel DH will see you as an equal when you are a SAHP, perhaps because you both think household work is beneath you? [/quote]
