My husband works full time. <br /><br />How do I positively encourage him to do small things like putting the baby's clothes he took off baby into the laundry basket or serving the dinner I just prepared while I nurse baby to sleep?

Not only is it free, but you can request help with meals, housework, errands, driving, older kids, etc, and it's all organized for you on an online calendar that anyone can sign up on, with just the simple login information for your calendar. It works wonderfully and I look forward to using it for myself, after my third baby is born next summer!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186449718452572587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532708164460230394.post-78064898320795261092010-12-01T12:52:40.523-08:002010-12-01T12:52:40.523-08:00As a second time mom, with a 3 year old, I knew to...As a second time mom, with a 3 year old, I knew to ask for help this time but the hardest part is that last one, being organized...sometimes, in order to get help to be helpful...what I did is to have a good trusted friend (who is also a mom) come over to your house for the whole day and just basically be there at your beck and call. It is best to choose someone who is fairly independent(i.e someone to empty the dishwasher who can figure out where things go instead of asking YOU!) and someone who keeps their own house similar to your own.Jenny B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14553929207867929684noreply@blogger.com
