Just wondering really. First baby so no idea what to expect. I will have 9 months off followed by 3 months at 3 days per week. Am having C section so will obvs need a lot of help to start with.
Have always found it odd when women say things like 'its maternity leave, not housework leave' And feel i would rather get housework etc done during the week so weekends can be family time. Also, DH currently working 2 jobs, 4am start 6 days a week with 6am start on the 7th day. Works 7 days a week but 'just' a few early morning hours at weekends. So really dont imagine him doing night time stuff once I am recovered. I do imagine him taking over baby care when he gets home in the evenings, leaving me able to cook (i like doing the cooking and see it as beneficial to us both, he gets to do baby care while i get to cook uninterupted)
My friends are horrified at my thoughts......
