[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm reading a great book about being a mindful parent.  We all fall into this trap before we have kids, so don't feel bad, but you are planning for a child you don't know.  Take your cues from your child (once born) and your life.  Maybe you'll have a quiet chill baby and you'll feel energized to get some housework done so you guys can live in a peaceful clean environment.  Maybe your baby will refuse to be put down and you'll make do for a year with a cleaning lady and a messier home.  Maybe you'll hate narration.  Maybe your kid will (I have a friend whose baby since birth HATED to hear singing).  You know how to live your life, and you'll learn about your baby and what is best for him/her.  The answer will be apparent soon enough.

We are all guilty of this, but the internet doesn't know what will work in your house, with your spouse or your kid.  But you will!

Good luck!

PS - in my subjective opinion based on my own experience, you'll have to do a shit ton of picking up/dishes/cooking daily if you want the house to run.  It's crazy for a while, but you'll get the hang of it, and figure out what works best for you!
