[quote=Anonymous]Please read this post as trying to be helpful as we battled similar and I finally feel like we have a great balance. I don't want to come across as a know-it-all.

Here is our set-up. We have a 2.5yo and I'm pregnant with number 2.

-DH works full time from home indefinitely now. Cutting out his commute has allowed him an extra hour-hour and a half with us per day which is great!
-I work from home part time and make my own schedule but roughly averages to 25 hours per week.
-We have childcare 12 hours per week (3 mornings) to cover half my schedule. The other 12ish hours I make up during naps, after bedtime, and on weekend mornings.
- I do all of my laundry and child-related laundry, I've never touched DH's.
-I do all of the day to day cleaning (sweeping, wiping counters, dishwasher, toilets, swiffer, etc). DH spends and hour every Sunday washing the floors.
-We have a lawn/leave service
-I cook dinner every other night, but make enough for 2 nights. DH cleans up dinner every night.
-Dh does all of DD's nightly baths. It's their special time when he gets off work everyday.
-We take a 1 hour family walk every night before doing bedtime which has been a great time to catch up and all bond
-I do all logistics to DD (appointments, seasonal clothes, diapers, etc)
-DH does all logistics for the dog (buying food, vet, tick prevention, heart worm meds, etc)

Somehow this leaves Dh and I spending quality time together most nights 8-10pm which we both really value.

Obviously our world is about to be shaken up with baby 2 lol[/quote]
