[quote=Anonymous]Plan on being sleep deprived for at least the first 2 years.  Exercise will not have a firm schedule, but instead will have to be when-one-can.

Babies need to be 100% supervised, and this will not really change until maybe around age 5. Children under maybe age 7 or 8 do not understand that a parent they can see still needs to be able to work.

Each family is different, but many families have one parent handle drop off and the other parent picks up from day care.  Often, not always, this also means shifting work schedules, so the drop-off parent starts work later and the pickup parent starts work earlier.

In many families, not all, it helps if DW creates a list of all the things which need to be done for the baby and for the house, then both DH and DW agree on who is responsible for which things and what days/times they need to be finished.  This is NOT the time to micro-manage how each other gets things done; it is the time to delegate and let the other person do their tasks as they think best.[/quote]
