[quote=Anonymous]I assume this is your first child? Once the baby is here, there will be housework JUST TO SURVIVE. I think your attitude is a good one, if you can afford it, and we take the same approach. My job is to be a parent to my child, not to take care of the house. My husband agrees. We outsource as much of the housework as we can. That said, I think children (especially when they are not babies) benefit from seeing a PARENT doing housework, and to be honest, it can be fun to do a little laundry with a toddler, or clean the kitchen with a 2 year old. And cooking with a 3 or 4 year old is awesome. But prioritizing the fun stuff is a great idea. You are not a maid. You are a mom. I totally agree. But you should know that when you are at some point wiping poop/avocado/crayon from the walls/your hair/the couch, you will still feel like a maid. ;)[/quote]
