At first I was really worried with the fact that DH works from home & we have a fairly small house- I was concerned that DS & I would annoy him/ bother him/ take his mind off his work (which we do sometimes)

But, it has in fact been a real blessing. DH gets to see EXACTLY what it is like to have to care for a baby 24/7. He realises how difficult it is somedays to get dinner cooked, nappies and clothes washed, house cleaned etc & still make sure the little one's needs are met. I couldn't ask for a more supportive and caring husband! He's always been pretty good but I really feel that because he gets to see how demanding being a mum is he has much more respect for me than if he went to work all day from 9 to 5 & then arrived home to a house that looks like a bomb hit it! He always tells me that I am doing a great job and now actually asks me if there is anything he can do to help me!!!!

Having said all of that, my attitude to housework has COMPLETELY relaxed. I am just too tired to be bothered with a spick and span house anymore. DH is always willing to clean up in the evenings but I would much rather spend some quality time with him before my bed time (9.30pm!!!). Housework can wait!
