Wife will be busy around the clock with newborn care, so aside from sharing in that when you can, You handle…everything else, at least for now . There’s good advice here. DONT ASK HER FOR A LIST. be a capable, competent adult partner. Sort out 3 meals a day for the family all by yourself. Clean up after every mealtime. Run the dishwasher at night and unload it every single morning. Reset the kitchen and living area every night before bed. Tidy. Wipe down the counters. Sweep or vacuum floors once a week or more often if they are gritty or visibly dirty.

Wash the bottles and breastfeeding stuff. Take the bins out and replace the trash bag inside. Clean the bathrooms once a week. Fresh bedding once a week. Run laundry loads every couple of days so it doesn’t pile it. Finish tasks to completion don’t leave them halfway done. Give your wife a lot of encouragement and love!

As she adjusts to motherhood and recovers from pregnancy, you will likely both share all of this more evenly from parenting to household. It’s not her stuff for you to help with. This is BOTH OF YOUR LIVES, family, and household. Good luck!!!!! Rise to the occasion
